A review by bdesmond
Planetary, Vol. 1: All Over the World and Other Stories by Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, John Cassaday
4.0
I was excited to finally be able to start this series through the use of the Hoopla app, which I've only just now become familiar with. Overdrive users will be familiar with its function; though it focuses more on comic books and audio books and rather than having only a copy or two available (necessitating wait lists) you are allowed a monthly borrowing limit of 6 books.
This was a promising start to the series. A team of archaeologists known only as Planetary (consisting of Elijah Snow - love that name, Jakita Wagner, and The Drummer) attempt to uncover the secret mysteries of the 20th century, as they investigate and deal with the myriad possibilities of the multiverse. It raised a few interesting questions almost immediately (like who the heck the third member of Planetary before Snow was, and what happened to him) and also suggests at a bigger narrative to come.
Looking forward to diving into the other volumes.
