A Must Have (as long as you buy vol. 2) August 15, 2010
Tim D
There's nothing new that can be said about this series.
Masterpiece of a story from beginning to end.
Gorgeous artwork.
Tight, beautiful scripts.
Intense stories worth your time.
It's all true, but what is also true is that you must buy vol. 2 to get the whole story. (For anybody wanting to try it.)
Fabulous! July 29, 2010

I took a risk and ordered the Absolute Edition without ever having read the story before. Well, I'm 6 issues in and I am LOVING it. The wonderfully-subtle dialogue, dense plotting, and beautiful art make for an enjoyable story.
I don't have much to say specifically about the story itself since I'm not done yet. But I will say that the packaging is superb. It's the same high quality that we've all come to expect out of an Absolute Edition.
HIGHLY RECCOMENDED

the book is gorgeous.
you get a slipcase, dust jacket and a great hardcover with thick glossy paper.
unfortunately it is not as big as Amazon info says.
it is not 16 inches but usual Absolute Edition size.
still, looks and feels great!!

Great book, yes. Great writer, no question. Great artist, without a doubt.
A must have for any Planetary fan but lets get real here, is there anyone out there who is willing to pay the $1000.00 price for this or any Absolute Edition of any title? If there is then let me tell you about some Florida swampland I have for sale. What are people thinking when they list items like this at such ridiculous prices. I thought the video game for $500.00 was bad but this is beyond that. If you want to read the material then buy the paperbacks and if you want to spend a little more and own the individual issues then buy them and you will still not spend a fraction of what this seller is asking for this book. If we all refuse to buy from this type of seller then maybe they will realize that they have to offer reasonable prices or get stuck with their items.
A must have for any Planetary fan!!!! December 19, 2006

Planetary to me is Warren Ellis's (The Authority) masterpiece, his clever story telling and homage to the golden age heroes makes this book a endless treasure. His plots are well written and the connections un fall able. He put a lot of effort and time into this novel. John Cassadays (Astonishing X-men, Desperado)work is marvelous, a bit rough at the beginning but his ever daunting potential was visible even then, this collection is evidence of his talent and his beautiful artistic development. The oversize pages filled with Cassadays pencils are alone worth the cost. This is a must have for any planetary fan, a hard bound collection of today's best stories. Snatch this up while you still can, 1st prints were limited and quickly made there way onto ebay for upward of $100 plus. Thank God I found one for the retail price. Absolute Planetary collects issues 1-12 and the preview issue.
