twilightthunder's Planetary #3 - Dead Gunfighters review

    One the best covers i've ever seen, and also, a GREAT tale.

    Planetary should be kind of "essential" Reading for those who're looking for an alternative reading in a comic book medium filled with useless crossovers and maxi-series, despite his length (26 issues) Planetary offers a nice vision of the world as we know it, it's full of secrets, myths and legends that are surprisingly true, and it's up to our stars, Jakita, Drummer and Elijah to unravel the secrets of this mad, mad world. Superbly written by Warren Ellis and drawn by the "one and only" John "F*ck Yeah" Cassaday, planetary pays an homage to the pop culture, exploited by the "sick" Yet brilliant mind of Warren Ellis... I'm looking forward to buy this whenever it comes across me on a store, all the issues i've read are a friend's and he doesn't even have them all, anyways try this book if you're a fan of modern pulp adventures or you're just looking for a breath of fresh air in this "convoluted" Comic Book world.
