From Planetary #1 , By Warren Ellis and John Cassaday
“It’s a strange world…let’s keep it that way”
It’s sometimes difficult to convince non-comics people to try out comic books…they simply don’t see the value. I can’t watch golf on television…to each their own.The shame of it is, those folks are missing things like this.
Planetary is about a group of “archeologists of the impossible” discovering the secret history of the 20th century. It’s a mystery, it’s an adventure. It’s powered by pulp dreams, movie serials, psychology, history, and the stuff dreams are made of. In it you will find the ghost of a dead Hong Kong cop, a radioactive woman, a bullet to the moon, ancient spaceships, monsters, Sherlock Holmes, fictonauts, Jungle lords, cowboy vigilantes, the secret of ayres rock, and so much more.
If you like comics, and haven’t seen Planetary, try and find one of the collected trade paperbacks, start at the beginning, and your life will be richer.
If you don’t care for comics, or have never considered them as an entertainment option…then I guess you’ve wasted a few minutes, thanks for your time, and we can part as friends…you can wander off and do whatever it is you people do.
If you know what I’m talking about, Planetary #27 comes out tomorrow, 10 plus years in the making. Tomorrow is going to be a good day.

- Plato: For the greater good.
- Aristotle: To fulfill its nature on the other side.
- Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.
- Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken’s dominion maintained.
- Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I’ll find out.
- Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
- Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
- Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
- Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.
- Jack Nicholson: ‘Cause it fucking wanted to. That’s the fucking reason.
- Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
- Johnny Cochran: The chicken didn’t cross the road. Some chicken-hating, genocidal, lying public official moved the road right under the chicken’s feet while he was practicing his golf swing and thinking about his family.
