I think Ellis Planetary is one of those titles like LoEG, that has a lot of pulp fiction references, in addition to a lot of comic lore and homages. I was able to enjoy each issue on its own, but I found reading summaries and explanations online made each issue better. I love the title and am looking forward to the final issuewhenever that comes out.

That is a great observation trieze! I also really enjoyed Planetary and appreciated the many layers Ellis put in the story, but was able to enjoy it simply on the surface of what it was. Yes, reading all the supplementary stuff online made the stories that much deeper, but you didn't have to read them to get it.

Yeah, Ellis also says that the script to the last issue is finished. Its just up to Cassady now to get it done.

Thanks for commenting!

Yeah, we were hanging out with Jesus the other day and He and Jose totally got into it. Jose kept yelling JESUS CHRIST! JESUS CHRIST! And Jesus was like, 'yeah? What?'

I guess Jesus was reading Jose's copy of Agents of atlas and bent the cover.

Not pretty.

heh.

Not just superhero comics, war comics, humour comics, horror comics, sci-fi, fantasy and more.

but then comics were in every corner shop and comics were affordable. I used to buy 10 comics a week when I was between 6 and 12 years old, those comics were all british weeklies like Battle, Warlord, Scream, Dandy, Beano, Victor, Tiger, Buster, Roy of the Rovers, 2000AD and more.....now the only weekly left is 2000AD :(

I didn't start reading american comics till I was about 14

I guess I would be Spider-Man while Elliot would definitely be Superman. I'm the smart ass in contrast to his mostly serious demeanor.

And yes Elliot, I completely disagree with you. I also disagree with Jesus in that he thought Secret Invasion was the better of the two summer events.

Jose would disagree with Jesus if Jesus was into comics

;-)

[comicculturewarrior]

Hm. Well, neither of us are represented by either hero, really. But if you had to assign us each a hero, Jose would be Supes for his DC loyalties and I would be Spidey since I am a confessed Marvel Zombie.

Now watch Jose disagree with me.

I wanted to ask you, who is superman and who is spiderman between the two of you? I'm referring to your last intro.

Final Crisis was really made for the hardcore comic reader who knows a lot of backstories and is willing to buy all the tie-ins. I wish comic books were written to be more accessible to the average Joe. Then, maybe, comics wouldn't be such a niche. Wasn't there a time when every kid read superhero comics?
