“All over the World & other Stories” (TPB 1) was my first introduction to Warren Ellis’s “Plantary”. To be honest it didn’t really do anything for me. In fact I recall not liking it much and not enjoying reading it. I did like the characters, The Drummer was cool and Snow had potential. Because it was Ellis I stuck with it and I got “The Fourth Man” (TPB 2). This took a bit of getting into but the ending made it all worth while. It had some really great moments (a standout being Chase stopping time). Issue 12 was the culmination of what started off as a loose plotline and tightened up a lot as those issues went along and it ended on a really high note. I reread both books last night and enjoyed them far more than the first time around. So much so I’m gonna see if the next few are in back issues.
