And it was that experience, of diving into new fantasy worlds and sifting through years and years of stories to find something of value, that Warren Ellis sought to examine in creating Planetary. It can be overwhelming, but also exhilarating. There’s dozens upon dozens of stories and characters you haven’t met yet, and dozens more stories and characters inspired by those stories, and then there are the stories that inspired your original favorite story, and then… And it turns out that this thing you love so much-say, superhero comics-isn’t new at all, but has actually been around for decades. Once you get a rush like that, you want to pursue it wherever it goes. You find something new to you, something flashy and exciting that resonates with you and opens your eyes to the world in a different way.
