Warren Ellis’ Planetary is easily one of the greatest comics ever made. The book seamlessly blends countless aspects of comic books and pop culture into a beautiful interweaving story. Cassaday’s art is absolutely amazing and helps change the mood of each issue. What I love about Planetary is that it didn’t just dissect the comics medium like other great works but it also celebrated it. The Vertigo issue even asks the question, by pulling back the curtain are you destroying something beautiful?

If you haven’t read Planetary I can’t recommend it enough. No other book has references to the Justice League, Marvel Silver Age, Godzilla, Hong Kong Supercop films, pulp heroes, Shazam, etc. etc. etc.

So since this is a discussion thread, what are your favorite moments/issues from Planetary?
