One of the most interesting comic series in recent memory is now apparently just a cat's whisker away from being finished. Warren Ellis is reporting that he has seen all of the finished artwork (except for a cover) to Planetary # 27, the grand finale of a truly amazing series. I'm lucky enough to have a page of original artwork from Planetary and it's every bit as gorgeous and detailed as you'd expect from something as impressive as what Ellis and artist John Cassaday produced over the past... what, decade now?! It's hard to believe that once upon a time new issues came out on a roughly bi-monthly basis, but that was years ago and I'm just glad that the boys stuck with it and actually finished the story off instead of leaving us hanging.
This final issue was a long time coming, but I have no doubt it'll be incredible when it arrives... and then I get to re-read the entire run, including all of the specials and crossovers, from start to finish. Which of course is one of the best parts of this sort of thing!
