This is such a weird little series and I love it to death. Waiting for vol 4 in the mail 😡😡😡

The series is getting stronger with each volume, and I like how it pays homage to popular science fiction/fantasy stories as well as mythology. Some character motives are still unclear & I get people confused (constantly) but I think the big picture is becoming clearer. Eager to see how it’s wrapped up in Vol 4.

This continues to be one of the best comic book series I've read this year.

The setup of Planetary is equal parts fascinating and maddening. Everything tells a small bit of the overall story, with a slow-burning mystery that really needs to be solved in a short time, but every short, character-building vignette is still solid storytelling, with some really unexpected and strange moments. Two of the stories really resonated with me in particular in this collection, and the various nods to other stories and mediums is really well done.
Still loving this more than I thought I would.

Part of me wants them to pull the narrative threads tighter together and really start telling The Story. But part of me wants it to keep on going like this forever, one weird little story after another. I'm fine either way.

Man, I love this series.
Ellis continues his magical task of taking events (both mythical and factual), actual people, and fictional characters and weaving them into an "underground" history of the 20th century.
God, what a great idea and a great set of books.
This one is no different, continuing to put forth several homages to past fictitious creations and their creators, while weaving all of that into dynamic characters and ever unraveling histories.
Again, I want to keep this review short and not get into too much because, like I said for volume two, to spoil one panel of this for you would be a crime.

So many traces of other comics I've not read or aren't my thing. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. Though, Ellis's writing just impresses the hell out of me. Cassaday's choice in representing panels and subtlety of expression he renders give many of these characters a presence I don't always see in other works.

Este volumen es ya todo magia, todo gloria, y el númro 18, el de los que fueron al espacio en 1851 es bueno, qué te voy a decir.
