Planetary, Volume 1: All Over the World and Other Stories by Warren Ellis
4.0
That's been a whole lotta awesome. But hell if I know what's going on.
It's almost like one of those TV shows where the clock is set to zero with every new episode and there's very little continuity.
Well, it‘s almost like that. Because there were just enough recurring themes to at least make me wonder if I had missed something.
Maybe it’s just that whole multiverse thing that made it sometimes a little confusing.
Or it’s me being stupid. Though that’s unlikely. Amiright?!
Am I right? *silence ensues*
Anyway, most of the issues, which is to say (almost) independent storylines, were great though. Only two were a little underwhelming.
Our kinda sorta superhero protagonists investigate paranormal phenomena and try to preserve balance and order in the multiverse. And it was fun to watch.
I especially liked the different settings
and the banter between the characters.
But there's just no feeling of closure in the end.
Very entertaining nevertheless. 3.5 stars. I bought the second volume already.
Well, just mayyybee a little tweak here and there and this could be really great.
