Planetary

one the best series I have read in a long time - have the four collections, only lacking the fifth book that collects their three one-shots.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_(comics)

loved how the series tied itself to heroes/villains/tropes that we all know and love - but managed to give a great spin on each character.

anyone else a fan?

I might have already started a thread about this series; I do agree that it is one of the best!

Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

I don't know where book 4 leaves off, but there was one last mystery they solved at the of the run, and I really liked it. So, do they put the individual covers in the graphic novels? I really like Cassaday's covers.
