Planetary

[Solario]

So who here is following this Warren Ellis creation? For those, who haven't read it yet, it's about a group of people, who uncovers the world's "hidden history". It has a lot of homages of various superheroes and superhero themes with a twist.

This thread will quite possibly contain a lot a spoilers, so now you're warned.










So now we have these confirmed Century Babies:
Elijah Snow, The Protagonist of Planetary
Jenny Sparks, Former (now dead) Leader of the Authority
Jenny Quantum, Reincarnted version of Sparks
Doc Brass, Doc Savage Homage and Leader of a group of Pulp Heroes
The Spider, an Shadow, Spider and Green Hornet homage (who's also William Leather's father) of Doc Brass' group of Pulp Heroes
Kevin Sack, Lord Blackstock: Tarzan Homage and also a member of the previously mentioned Pulp Group

Who else do you think/know?

And what is The Drummer's real name and who are his parents? I'm kind of suspecting him to be the son of Dowling.

I'm following, but only in trades. Buying #3 in a few weeks.

I'm really loving Planetary myself. Haven't really taken the time to try and figure out Drummer's parentage, though.

I just bought the 3rd trade and I REALLY REALLY like Planetary. Since I'm not following in the regular format, I'm using a couple of sites, that analyses the comics.

Ellis says it will probably end around #27-28, which is a real shame, but I understand it.
