>Ellis needs to write more Batman.

Why? He'll just point at all the holes in the mythos.

Like he does with all capeshit.

I'd argue that if he was tasked with writing a story rather than a metacommentary and reigned in by an editor, I'd feel like he'd give us stories that would be a combination of Fell, Moon Knight, and Secret Avengers (depending on how out there he wanted to get). Also posting pictures? Come on man.

Glad you liked it. Ellis may not be everyone's cup of tea but I feel like this series offers a little something for everyone.

I wish I could be more involved in this thread. Plugging away at a lecture so I can get it uploaded to their resource site so can print it before class.

>>89438907
IIRC when the crossover came up, Ellis planned to make Planetary #12 deal with a Batman analogue. Since he agreed to the crossover he decided to switch gears and do the Fourth Man reveal in that issue instead.

Responding to a post in the prior thread:
>>89420767

>Sorting issues by homage

>1. Pulp Heroes (Doc Savage Leading) and how superheroes supplanted them
>2. Kaiju films and the post war japanese culture that gentrated
>3. John Wu gun fu hong kong movies
It's that combined with a take on The Spectre (who was a cop that was murdered and came back as a ghost)
>4. Jules Verne Science romance
It's also a take on the Golden Age Captain Marvel. Notice how the guy was an orphan and his superhero design evokes a bit of Captain Marvel's costume.
>5.Doc Savage again
>6.The fantastic 4 and how they killed off other genres (not true)
>7. Early and proto Vertigo and how despite being soiced as more "mature" than old comics they are just as silly and need to be supplanted in turn (Constantine suceeded by Spider Jersuleum)
>8.50s atomic horror monsters
>9.Grant Morrison comics (with a tinge of Matrix, said to be based on the invisibles)
>10.DC comics superheroes and how Marvel heroes supplanted them in the 60s (actually true)
>11.Steranko era nick fury
>12.Planetary itself
>13. Victorian loeg style fiction (Sherlock Holmes, Dracula etc, with the subtext of there era ending as the 20th century dawns)
>14.The x files , with conspiracies seen as distractions to distract the feeble minded from actual issues
The hammer is also a reference to Marvel Thor's cane transforming into Mjolnir. And the subspace thing might be sort of like the one from Miracleman (only weapons are being stored instead of bodies).
>15.Aborgine dreamtime
Also Carlton Marvell is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars and Carson of Venus.
>16.Japanese horror films (Ringu, the Grudge etc)
You miss the major homage in there, it's more about Wire fu than horror films. Remember Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was only just out maybe about three or so years before this comic.

If you could keep this going up to the final issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Superman reference?

And thus concludes the third thread. Looks like we're going to finish tomorrow. After which we will commence the next upcoming story, Automatic Kafka followed by Superman Adventures, with both titles being written by Joe Casey

>>89443374
>17.Tarzan
>18.From Earth to the Moon
>19. 2001 a space Oddessy
>20. Space comics (with a riff on the galactus trilogy)
I'd say both 19 and 20 are a riff on the Galactus trilogy plus other Kirby cosmic stuff. The angels could be comparable to the Recorders from Marvel.
>21.psychadleia and acid trips
Also a take on Doctor Strange and Promethea.
>22. Westerns Zorro/Lone Ranger style
The Dead Ranger's descendent is Bret Leather who is the analogue to The Shadow and The Spider (who himself was a sort of knock-off of The Shadow, but had far more batshit insane stories). The part about Bret's name, and Bret being a newspaper man and being a descendent of the Lone Ranger analogue is supposed to be compared to Britt Reid. the Green Hornet (who was a relative of the Lone Ranger and ran a newspaper).
>23. Jerry Brucmheimer action movies
>24.Planetary itself
>25. The Fantastic 4 (as the bad guys)
Not only that but John Stone's weapon is a deliberate reference to the Satan Claw from Steranko's Nick Fury. It was a weapon that Strucker used. The planet that the Four encountered might be a version of Apokolips.
>26. Planetary itself
>27.Planetary Itself

>>89443733
>Automatic Kafka
Awesome

>>89443809

The other thing to note is that the pulp stuff such as Doc Savage and Tarzan, there might also be a bit of nod toward Philip Jose Farmer's work. Farmer was a sci-fi writer who around late 60's and 70's wrote his take on pulp characters and introduced the Wold Newton Family Tree, in his biographies for Doc Savage and Tarzan. This tree includes Doc Savage, Tarzan, The Shadow, The Spider, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, G-8, Phileas Fogg, and others. Farmer also wrote A Feast Unknown, which was like a pulp tale with analogues to Tarzan and Doc Savage, but with the sex and violence luridity of the pulps ramped up. I know Ellis definitely confirmed he read that book. Also notice how in >>89441158 he tries to imply that Lord Blackstock had sexual experiences with more than just humans? It's more explicity with A Feast Unknown's Tarzan analogue.

Farmer's definitely an influence on Alan Moore (Moore referenced him during his intro in Dark Knight Returns, and I think at one point even acknowledged Farmer's influence on LOEG)

Another reminder, assuming I don't crap out or get the flu, I also plan on storytiming JSA and The Boys.

>>89443943
Wold Newton would be so much better if it weren't bogged down by a near autistic obsession with making everyone related.

It's very deliberate homage to the Armageddon film poster.

Research methods and concerns in the context of social psychology was the first presentation. The second that I'm going to give is a primer on the field of biopsychology and cognitive neuroscience. Actually about to do a dry run in preparation because I'm a bit rusty. Also I can confirm some rars are being uploaded to MEGA today.

>select all images with a storefront

...huh.

>>89456220
just realized that the sign probably said 'supermercado' (supermarket) since there was a pole in between "superman" and 'cado'.

incidentally, check out the prices when you search for superman on 'mercado libre'.

Top tier Planetary, too. It's the issue everyone should hand to someone who's never heard of the series before. It captures everything they need to know. I don't think I've ever read such a more satisfying conclusion to a series, either.

>>89440105
This is even a reference to JLI, isn't it?
