Two-dimentional villains whose aim is to Be Evil have always been boring to me, and my distaste for conspiracy theory stories has only deepened through the COVID years. ![]() What I got was a few disjointed stories about vaguely weird stuff happening, a threesome of your bog-standard Super Serious, Perfect Geniuses Who Can Do No Wrong superhero protagonists, and yet another tedious The World is Bad Because of an Evil Conspiracy Run By Four Dudes. I got literally none of that from reading the book. Indeed, Planetary is supposed to be Ellis’ takedown of Marvel comics and the industry’s obsession with superheroes. Folks over on goodreads seem to be of the view that this story stands well on its own, but then seem to focus on the ways in which Planetary is a commentary on other superhero stories from the 90’s. ![]() ![]() Planetary seems to be up there with the Watchmen for Peak Comics, so I picked up the first volume, knowing pretty much nothing.
