Planetary, Volume 3: Leaving the 20th Century

Fun, creative. Somewhat transitional – there's a lot of backstory being filled in but a lot still unknown.

Excellent addition to the Planetary series, one that forces you to go back to the previous volumes and reanalyze everything that's happened so far. Aside from that, it's Planetary, which means taking old concepts are giving them new life - Sherlock Holmes! Dracula! lose African upotias! This series remains Ellis at his best, though, proof that there's an idealist under the surface of even the harshest cynic.
