Collects three stand alone stories based on the characters in the Planetary series.

The archaeologists of the unknown come to Gotham. Planetary's Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, and the Drummer track a man responsible for several grotesque deaths to Crime Alley in Gotham City, home of the infamous Batman. Only Batman doesn't exist on Planetary's Earth. But, because of their quarry's random and seemingly out-of-control personal distortion field, they will soon exist on his. Or rather, theirs, as the members of Planetary are displaced to several variations of Gotham City, and encounter several versions of the Batman—all of whom are determined to bring the killer to justice...and out of Planetary's hands!

Planetary has been hailed as a timeless story that turned modern superhero conventions on their heads.Written by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) and with stunning art by John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men), this critically acclaimed, landmark series took a look at the inter-dimensional peace-keeping force known as Planetary.

All 27 issues of the original series are collected in this hardbound omnibus edition.
