Planetary: A Review

Planetary is introduced to the reader as a group of adventuring investigators who chart the "secret history of the world" – the behind-the-scenes, covert history that the mass public isn't aware of (for a pulp-world example, the sort of stuff that The Nine Unknown might have their hands in). The three members of the Planetary field team – Planetary is actually a globe-spanning organization, as befits its name – ring a mental echo of the late-1950s Jack Kirby comic book group, the Challengers of the Unknown, by darting around the Earth and investigating secrets and mysteries of an unearthly type.
