Extra Issues – Superhero Subversions ep. 2: Planetary

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
