| | 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. |
 | | Whatever he may think about individuals, he has a sense of responsibility for humanity and a deep dislike for the Four and others who seem to be holding humanity back. |
 | | Jakita Wagner, somewhat less developed, is nevertheless attractive for her self-confidence, as well as for her obvious enjoyment of what Planetary does. |
