After starting over a decade ago, Warren Ellis and John Cassidy's final issue of Planetary is complete (or so they say) and ready to ship next month. Despite the multitude of plot threads that will no doubt be unresolved and the ridiculous conclusion of the most recent issue (you dropped two superhumans, one of whom has the power to make force fields, down a canyon and you expect us to believe that they're dead now?), I couldn't be more excited.

Since the first issue, Planetary has been more about good art and cool ideas than about plot, and the final issue looks like it will continue that tradition. CBR posted a preview:

That's good news!

I just checked online, and Planetary is still in my abo box at my favourite comics shop! Reminds me of the last issue of seven soldiers. At the time I had pretty much forgotten who was who and doing what to whom.

With planetray, I thought it was over when they dropped the bad guys in that abyss. Maybe it's some kind of epilogue.

Near as I can tell, it's about them bringing Ambrose Chase, the guy who can warp the laws of physics around him from issue 9, back to life through time travel.

i remember the plot to planetary about as well as i remember the last time i took ecstasy and danced all night in a warehouse in brooklyn, some time just before 9/11.

nevertheless, hope this means there'll be very little delay for them to publish a complete volume of all the issues and i can get the whole story from beginning to end.

So that was heartwarming and fun and had one of the better uses of the time machine concept in recent decades.

And, so there were four. And, so there are four. And, so shall it ever be.
