Book Reviews of Planetary: Leaving the 20th Century - Volume 3
Book Review: Smart story, fantastic art
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not one for writing a lot of reviews, but this series is so good that I can not in good conscience fail to praise it. The story, begun so skilfully in vol 1, carried on through vol 2, now continues and gladly does not end in vol 3. Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner and the Drummer continue their exploration into the secret history of the world, and we get to come along for the ride. If you are one who enjoys a graphic novel that makes you think - one where you scramble out of bed at 3 am to dig up vol 2 and reread a section that you just managed to figure out, if you love well-crafted stories and characters who do more than shout their battle cry and bust heads, if you are a fan of pulp stories, and want to see all of the heroes from the classic pulps and comics in a new light, then this is for you. Ellis is a genius - I just wish vol 4 were in print.
The art is a whole 'nother reason to buy this - absolutely beautiful in it's detail - with character's whose faces you will recognize (as opposed to everyone having essentially the same face, and you tell them apart by the color of their cape, as in many comics). Cassaday is a detail fanatic, with absolutely beautiful spreads on each page, capturing action and emotion in wonderful images. The colors are rich and no less than perfect.
I consider this a must-read for mature fans of comics/graphic novels. You will not regret this purchase.
