Warren Ellis' Planetary

Do you remember how good the X-files used to be? I mean, when it was at the top of its game?

Remember how as the characters developed, the mystery moved forward and there was always some good science fiction to go along with it.

That is Planetary.

So, what's it about?
Elijah Snow was born January 1, 1900, but he doesn't look. He is recruited by a mysterious organization to be an "Archeologist of the Unknown." He works with Jakita Wagner, the teams powerhouse (super fast and super strong) and an idiot genius known as the Drummer. Together they explore such mysteries of this and the last century.

So why should you care?
What if the X-Files didn't have to worry about copyright law and could do the stories you really wanted to see. Like Mulder tracking down Steve Austin to get the story on Big Foot. Or, maybe Scully trying to piece together why no one remembers anything for a single day in 1932. Supposedly a giant monkey was supposed to have rampaged through New York City. For some reason beef became really cheap as if there was an influx of giant monkey meat flooded the market.

Yeah, it's like that.

Start with Planetary Volume 1: All Over the World and Other Stories. You won't regret it.
