Planetary/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The look of pure joy on Jakita's face when she gets to fight giant mutant ants. Says it all.
  • This series is chock full of great moments for artist John Cassaday, some of his works are just beautiful beyond words. How about his depiction of Galactus or the Bleed ship seemingly designed out of Holy Gothic architecture.
  • Elijah Snow vs. Dracula. Second greatest Curb Stomp Battle in the whole series. It involves one of the greatest and most creative Groin Attacks in the history of comic bookdom.
  • The Drummer, as a kid, blows up a Four-backed institution, after they had kept him imprisoned and abused for so long.
  • Planetary vs. John Stone.
  • The Tarzan Expy bitchslaps a giant monster snake!
  • Ambrose Chase was already a badass in his first apparition, ripping through a horde of Mooks without his powers, but his fight with Suskind tops that.

Elijah: Mister Chase, remember Suskind where she is.

  • Elijah takes out the Four by thinking outside the box. Specifically, he uses simple solutions the Four would never have anticipated. Others see it as an Anticlimax but I see it as the ultimate crowning achievement for Elijah. It fits his style.
  • In the second issue, when the Japanese party reaches a hilltop and discovers the massive corpse of a Mothra Expy.
  • "I know who the Fourth Man is."
