Being a huge Planetary fan, but not a DC fan, I wasn't even aware of this until I ran across it in a bargain bin in a tiny comic shop. But for the amount they were charging, I figured it was worth the read.

And mostly, it was. The first story was only okay, the second not bad at all, and the final one was worth the price of admission. Really well done.

The art was top notch all the way through, and Ellis's snappy, snarky dialogue is always a treat.
