    Ellis Writes About... Stuff
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2014*

So what happens in Volume 3? In a word... stuff. Stuff happens. I'm going to compare this to Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only because Ellis seems to be begging the reader to do so. As if having mentions of Nemo's Nautilus, the Invisible Man and an appearance by Sherlock Holmes weren't enough Holmes actually refers to the super team he was a member of as `We the Extraordinary'. Moore took famous fictional characters from literature and created a compelling narrative around them. Ellis creates his own fictional characters and has them interact with famous fictional characters from the late 19th and 20th century and just has them do.... stuff.In the first comic in this volume Elijah Snow recalls a conversation he had years earlier with Sherlock Holmes. After some back and forth conversation Dracula shows up to attack Snow only to get frozen and have his groin shattered. What did any of this have to do with the overall narrative? No idea. Ellis just thought it would be a cool visual. Planetary feels like the end result of Ellis trying to use the ideas of Moore and the writing style of Grant Morrison. Not the Morrison of All-Star Superman but the Morrison of Final Crisis. Ellis includes all sorts of pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo, quantum theory, string theory etc. He talks about `The Bleed' and Dreamtime yadda yadda yadda. I have no idea what it all means and Ellis probably doesn't either. He read a bunch of pop science books and books on mysticism and pulled out as many phrases as possible, mixing them together in a pot and pouring them out onto a page. It is possible to weave advanced theoretic science into a story but you need to do more than just vomit it onto the reader.In the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen volume 2 our heroes visit Dr. Moreau but for a very good reason. They needed a virus that could help repel an alien invasion. In this volume Planetary discovers that the capsule from Jules Verne "From the Earth to the Moon' is scheduled to reenter the Earth's atmosphere following 150 years of orbiting the two celestial bodies. Verne only concerned himself with the physics involved in launching the capsule with no regard for how it might return to Earth and the irony is not lost on Ellis but the inclusion in this volume does nothing to advance the overall story. It's just stuff. We discover who the parents of Jakita Wagner are and naturally it involves a famous literary character but so what. We still don't know why she is inhumanly strong and fast. In fact we don't know how ANY of the members of Planetary got their powers.The biggest problem I have with the series is that I have absolutely no investment in the characters or the story. There is a ten page battle between an Asian man who I have no idea who he is an Asian woman who has only had brief mentions in the past. Why would I care about the outcome of the fight? Planetary is trying to stop The Four (Fantastic Four homage) from doing SOMETHING. I don't know what. I know almost nothing about the main characters and Ellis has done nothing to endear them to the reader. I'm mildly interested in how this series will complete but my expectations are very low. I imagine it will be more stuff.

    Earlier days.
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017*

Volume three of Planetary focuses on the past. After the stunning revelation at the end of Volume 2, we are treated to a look back on Elijah snow's history, taking us through the legacy of 19th century heroes and other adventures. The artwork in this volume is stunning as ever, and Ellis' pastiche's almost feel like showing off. Unfortunately, we don't get much in the way of advancing the plot, so this volume doesn't earn a full 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Highly enjoyable
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017*

Elijah's awareness of his past and the background of the Four take up most of the focus of this comic.  Unlike Ellis's satire, his work here can be read largely as an allegory for the development of comics in the 20th.  The touch-as-nails, near omniscience of Snow paired with Ellis's penchant for cynicism make it all the more enjoyable. Cassaday's art and the color design often really pop.  This remains a great read even a decade and a half out.
