Extra Issues – Superhero Subversions ep. 2: Planetary

May 02, 2023

Zack and Charlotte (aka Zackita Wagner and Charlotte Leather) continue our first miniseries on Superhero Subversions with a discussion of Warren Ellis (https://www.somanyofus.com/) and John Cassaday’s Planetary.



Topics discussed:

– Is Planetary just a series of references to pop culture or does it have something to say about those stories?

– Does it work as a series of one-off stories or as a complete tapestry? Both? Neither?!

– Are Ka-Zar and Zabu…. lovers?


Upcoming episodes in our Superhero Subversion miniseries:
– Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt, 2019

– The Boys, 2006

– Miracleman, 1982

– Listeners’ Choice, TBA
