Planetary: Crossing Worlds by Warren Ellis, John Cassaday, Andy Lanning, Jerry Ordway, Phil Jimenez

4.0

Warren Ellis's Planetary books are about a group of characters that explore the multiverse. So its only natural to send these characters into other comic book universes. And its fantastic, the first story throws them in with the authority from Wild Storm publishers along with a silly H.P Lovecraft cameo. While the other two feature DC comics stories. The art is ranges from pretty good to amazing throughout this comic. Yet the main flaw unfortunately comes from Ellis himself. He sort of jumps into these stories with a sort of 'sink or swim' mentality. If you know the characters its cool but if you don't then tough luck. Another problem I have is that he goes way overboard on scientific/technological themes in these stories that sort of went over my head. Still this is a book worth reading for Ellis's fans. As for the average comic reader I recommend diving into Ellis's other works before you start this one.
