Added 3/1/2000 - PLANETARY #9 WRITTEN BY WARREN ELLIS; ART AND COVER BY JOHN CASSADAY In stores February 2. A critical story from Planetary's past. In 1997, Planetary consists of Jakita Wagner, the Drummer and... Ambrose Chase, the team's "Third Man" since 1995. And they're all in deep trouble. All three of them are on a field mission to a place where a spacecraft has seemingly fallen out of nowhere. And, in reality, it has — because it is the first vessel to have been sent into a literal non-reality. When it was launched, there were four crewmembers on board... when it came back, there were five. This is why the Drummer never goes on field missions anymore, and why Planetary needed a new Third Man. FC, 32 PG. $2.50
