Warren Ellis improves on his already outstanding stories and characters in the second collection of Planetary: The Fourth Man.While scraping their way through their investigations, the three archaeologists of mystery, enigmatic themselves, deal with their own past and learn more about the creepy metahumans lurking behind practically every oddity on the planet.Ellis seems to take pleasure in turning superheroic icons inside out. Fans will find references and deconstructions from the Golden Age to the post-postmodern comics world.John Cassaday"s penciling adapts itself well to the stories, giving intimate barroom chats and epic battles against giant ants equal credibility.While reading Planetary, one gets the sense that superhero comics really do have somewhere to go after being so thoroughly demolished in the "80s and "90s - and that we"d do well to keep reading. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Planetary Vol. 2: The Fourth Man (Warren Ellis, John Cassaday)
