"These are the moments I live for. I put up with all the other crap just to get seconds like this. The moments when you know the world is a better place than advertised."
-Jakita Wagner in Planetary #4 by Warren Ellis and John Cassaday
PS - "Quote of the Week" just indicates a favorite literary quote of mine that I decided to post online that week. It doesn't necessarily mean it was a phrase used in lit that actual week.
But who do you blame for false advertising on the world?
ReplyDeleteThe world would be a much better place, were it not for the Four. Within the story, the Four are a stand-in for the Fantastic Four, but thematically, they stand for anyone who would impede progress for their own ends.
ReplyDeleteI am deliberately staying away from comics and graphic novels on this blog, but Planetary is my very favorite - it's also about something. That makes it different, and very much worth talking about.
