Elijah Snow is almost a hundred years old, a witness to many of the strange and awesome events that make up the secret history of the twentieth century.
Snow doesn't have the highest tolerance for his colleagues' mysterious ways and seemingly passive response to situations; Jakita and Drummer, meanwhile, appear barely tolerant of the cranky newcomer.
Snow's first case, for example, centers around the final adventure of a group of pulp heroes from the thirties; analogues of characters like The Shadow and Doc Savage gather to save the world from itself, but instead find themselves fighting off invaders from a parallel earth.

Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, and the Drummer are self-proclaimed archaeologists of the twentieth century.
In the most recent issue (#24), Elijah Snow says that “Randall Dowling [Mister Fantastic] and Kim Suskind [Invisible Woman] need to be stopped because they’re withholding glory from the human race.” The Four need to be stopped because they’re not allowing a broader palette of human experience to emerge.
Instead, like Elijah Snow, he’s trying to understand and preserve the strangest, most valuable parts of the past so that the future can become a little more interesting.

Elijah Snow is one hundred years old (though he only looks about 40) and has seen a great deal of our world's "secret history" unfold.
Snow and his teammates, Jakita Wagner and "The Drummer," have been on cases involving a W.W.II quantum computer built by a secret society of superhumans, a literal monster island, the vengeful ghost of a Chinese cop, giant ants, super aliens, and some things that are better read than explained.
Most intriguing is the character of Elijah Snow, who, through flashback stories, has already been shown interacting with the likes of Sherlock Holmes, the Invisible Man, and the lord of vampires himself, Dracula.

Team member Elijah Snow not only started to question the purpose of Planetary, but pushed for a more pro-active operational stance.
By the end of the issue, the thrust of the story has changed, and Elijah is issuing a challenge to the Four.
Having gone this far, Ellis then shifts the story again, going back into the history of Planetary, and the beginnings of Elijah Snow, who, we find, was a young daredevil adventurer in search of the strange -- and particularly in search of the Conspiracy, a group intent on directing the course of the world.

For the first time in a few issues (it seems like years and may actually be), the main plot gets some forward momentum as Elijah Snow has his first direct confrontation with one of The Four.
Unlike a lot of previous adventures of Snow and Planetary, this one touches on a fairly obscure work, known more by title than by content.
As Snow alludes to an incredulous Jakita Wagner, though, it's one piece of science fiction that influenced rocket science well into the 1980's.

 The Comics Get Serious--Review of Planetary
Planetary, which comes with not a few secrets of its own, is run and funded by the mysterious Fourth Man. The stories open with Jakita Wagner, a self-confident and extremely strong woman, recruiting Elijah Snow, a crotchety, slowly-aging centenarian with cold powers, to be the Third Man in their little investigative team.
As Elijah Snow and his companions dig deeper into the secrets of the world, Elijah's own memory loss becomes more and more troublesome to him.
Elijah Snow, crotchety, distrustful, is nonetheless rather likeable because he's trying to be proactive in an organization that, in the first book at least, is rather passive.

 R A I N T A X I o n l i n e Fall 2005 - Planetary: Leaving the 20th Century
Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, and The Drummer—the three “mystery archeologists” of the Planetary Organization—are an odd set of heroes, though they’re well-defined by their conflict with “The Four,” a group of bad-willed science-conquerors who have engineered a series of secrets meant to keep humanity out of touch with the greatest wonders of the world (e.g.
Leaving the 20th Century also reflects writer Warren Ellis’ abiding interest in pulp fiction and pop culture, beginning with a flashback to Elijah Snow’s encounter with two fictional creations of the 19th and 20th Centuries: Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula.
Such glances back to fictions of the past pepper these stories: we see Snow learning “the art of detection” from Holmes, and later leading his team to awaken a Dreamtime ancestor.

 Paperback Reader : Review of Planetary 23 by David Bird
This comic centers on Elijah Snow and his team at Planetary, an organization he formed to discover the secret history of the world, and to save it from the Four.
Snow, who was born in 1900, but looks like a man in his forties, is using all his resources to stop them and to “keep the world strange because that’s the way its supposed to be.”
Jakita is concerned about Snow’s behaviour, but Drummer comes to his defence.
