This collection of Earth-shattering adventures from Windstorm stars a team of super-powered archaeologists who have uncovered evidence of super-human activity that spans the centuries. The team includes the ancient -- and incredibly powerful -- Elijah Snow, hot-tempered Jakita Wagner, and the seemingly insane Drummer, as they deal with the abrupt appearance of a new mountain range in America and the shocking truth behind the near-destruction of the planet by the gods, which happened in 1950!
Slavná série se točí kolem tříčlenné skupinky „archeologů nemožného“, kteří po celém světě odhalují záhady a taje a specializují se na bytosti se superschopnostmi a jejich vliv na svět lidí. Působí proto svým způsobem jako mnohem zábavnější a pestřejší komiksová obdoba Akt X. V prvním svazku najdeme krátký úvod a šest propojených prvních příběhů týmu, které nás zavedou tam, kam název slibuje: od japonského ostrova obydleného obludami podobnými dinosaurům, přes Hong Kong, kde se zločinem bojují duchové vyzbrojení přízračnými zbraněmi, jež není nikdy třeba dobíjet, až po objev kvantového počítače vyrobeného v roce 1945.
A mysterious group with a vague charter and secret existence investigates diverse topics, including theoretical concepts, snowflakes, and islands inhabited by monsters. Their enigmatic sponsor and mission add to the intrigue.
"Planetary" follows a mysterious organization focused on uncovering Earth's secret history. As Jakita Wagner and Drummer conceal secrets from their teammate Elijah Snow, the identity of the fourth member, the mastermind behind it all, remains a mystery.
Warren Ellis improves on his already outstanding stories and characters in the second collection of Planetary: The Fourth Man. While scraping their way through their investigations, the three archaeologists of mystery, enigmatic themselves, deal with their own past and learn more about the creepy metahumans lurking behind practically every oddity on the planet. Ellis seems to take pleasure in turning superheroic icons inside out. Fans will find references and deconstructions from the Golden Age to the post-postmodern comics world. John Cassaday's penciling adapts itself well to the stories, giving intimate barroom chats and epic battles against giant ants equal credibility. While reading Planetary, one gets the sense that superhero comics really do have somewhere to go after being so thoroughly demolished in the '80s and '90s--and that we'd do well to keep reading. --Rob LightnerCollecting: Planetary 7-12
