This was good, but not what I expected. It didn't seem to live up to the rave reviews I typically read. I'm not sure, though, why it just didn't impress me much. I'll keep reading.

A comic book that actually makes sense and is well written. It doesn't require an leaps of faith, or reading blindly with the hope that things will one day be explained. But it only gets 4 stars because it's still a comic book. I'm prejudice.

A fantastic blend of superhero tropes and pulp culture references with amazing writing by Ellis and Cassaday's always stunning art.

Read this a couple years ago and just read it again because I wanted to be ready to read volume two. It still holds up to the 5 stars I gave it then. This is some amazing shit - Ellis possibly at his best (haven't read everything he's read). Each comic is a separate story with the same main characters and each one is incredibly original. The art is also absolutely fabulous. Can't wait to see what happens in volume 2 when the big picture starts coming together.

Couldn't really get into it. Probably because I had no chance to grow to feel anything for the main characters.

Planetary is one of my favorite comic books of all time. Just re-read so the recently released ending would make sense. Loved every minute of it.
