Hey Derivative Fiction Book Club, For our next session, we're exploring Warren Ellis's Planetary, a groundbreaking comic series that reimagines the entire history of 20th-century popular culture through a lens of  archeological  investigation. This isn't just a superhero story; it's a genre-bending exploration of pulp fiction, kaiju movies, science fiction, and everything in between. Planetary follows Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, and the Drummer, members of the titular organization, as they uncover the secret history of the world. They travel to strange and wondrous locations, encountering hidden marvels and confronting powerful forces that seek to control the planet's mysteries. Ellis weaves a complex narrative that deconstructs and celebrates the tropes of various genres, revealing the interconnectedness of fictional worlds. Ellis's writing, coupled with John Cassaday's stunning artwork, creates a visually rich experience. The series is a love letter to the history of storytelling, blending high-concept ideas with thrilling action and a deep sense of wonder. From ancient alien technology to forgotten monsters, Planetary offers a unique perspective on the power of myth and imagination. We're excited to discuss how Planetary reinterprets and recontextualizes familiar tropes, exploring the relationship between fiction and reality. How does Ellis's  archeological  approach to storytelling change our understanding of these iconic genres? Once you confirm your attendance, I’ll send a follow-up email with further details. As always, reach out if you have any questions! Happy reading!
