Planetary #4

Throwback Thursday takes us back to another adventure of the Archaeologists of the Impossible. Because it pushes our characters a bit to the side, Planetary #4 isn’t one of my favorite issues of the series but it is certainly notable in how it is used to flesh out and explore the universe where Planetary works. For Hark Corporation investigator Jim Wilder everything changes when he steps on an alien platform at ground zero of a demolished building and finds himself given the opportunity of a lifetime.

A flat tire on the way to a Van Expo, and a lift from Batman to a nearby town, provides the start of a new mystery.

Zatanna: Bring Down the House #4

Zatanna: Bring Down the House #4 offers a calm before the storm. The arrival of John Constantine allows for Zatanna to momentarily leave her current troubles involving the Casters and talking bunnies fighting over her as her ex whisks her away to Paris for a bit of R&R. This pause allows the story, and it’s lead character, a bit of room to breathe as well as catch up the reader on just what the hell is going on here and why everyone is after Zatanna.
