Comic Book Collection: appropriate now that the final issue has just arrived in stores, Planetary is one of my (many) favourite Warren Ellis comic book series. A great idea, great writing, great art and even great colouring made this an almost perfect comic book; the only problem was the timeliness. The 27-issue story (plus several specials) first started in 1999. That’s a long time. The image is the Planetary poster, drawn as ever by the marvellous John Cassaday.
