The best part of that is her and Taskmaster are technically on the same side. But gently caress that nobody messes with the First Family.

He did end up aging but that's only because he had the whole thing where he became human for like one day a year so during that day he would age.

Elfface posted:Also, was it Ultimate Reed or Mangaverse Reed who stretched his brain for extra smarts? I have a vague recollection that the Reed Richards analog in Planetary didn't so much stretch his body, but enabled him to stretch the way he thought? I mean it sounds loving terrible the way I'm describing it but I really dug that it basically functioned as,"This guy isn't human anymore, he doesn't think like a human, he doesn't think like anything in the universe, he's weird and strange and bizarre" Man I really dug Planetary.

Dowling in Planetary was pretty badly described tbh. To my recollection the series gave us the following:
I really dug Planetary too, but Dowling was easily the biggest blunder of the entire series. It felt like there was a lot more there before Ellis and Cassady stretched things out half a decade longer than planned. They lost the trail and the last few issues has a strange air of obligation to them.

Sounds like I remember that part of it better than it was. I remember really liking that the series ended with them rescuing a friend as opposed to the big battle with the ultimate bad guy, which happened in the penultimate issue from memory but I can also see how that would have pissed off a lot of people.

The Earth X Reed stretches his brain to match the shape of ling dead Charles Xavier's from a series of MRI printouts he has on file. He does it in order to use Cerebro. The ramifications that he probably gives himself extremely powerful telepathy and psychokinesis are not touched on. This Reed is very absent minded and it probably didn't even occur to him to try either.

That just seems kind of derivative to me, considering that Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol run ends the exact same way. I wasn’t impressed by the last few issues of Planetary either. Edit: Don’t mean to dump on Ellis too much here. I endorse the themes of Planetary and culture is a continuum we all share, etc. My av is from a Weisinger era Superman comic and I have it saved on my hard drive as Barbelith.jpg.

Planetary's run was cut short, when it launched Ellis claimed he had a 50 issue plan but as with any Ellis project he was clearly getting bored by the end of the first year so he cut massive chunks out of his plan.
