"Planetary has a component missing from most graphic novels: a true sense of the mysterious. It doesn't apologize for leaving huge gaps in the narrative, making the reader fill in the spaces. It's also chock-full of intriguing, almost familiar characters, which is where the fun comes in."
"This is one of the few examples that made me think that maybe, just maybe, there's still hope for the superhero genre. It feels somehow constrained in graphic-novel form, as its original nature as series is intrinsically exploited by the authors. Divided in small, self-contained units, and leaving the reader to fill in much of the details between one instalment and the other, this is almost a lesson on how one should approach the genre in the XXI century, and an act of love for pop-literary culture (and what a coincidence that Ellis and Alan Moore went back to the well of XIX-century pop-lit more or less at the same time!). The only problem is that it can appear like the writer is just being lazy, unnaturally dilating time units, using very little dialog, concentrating on lovely layouts and poses, with very little actually happening. Ellis overplays his hand at times, leaving Cassaday to show off his meticulous style, but overall this is probably the only "superhero" series you should have bought in the last 5 years."
