Synopsis

Elijah Snow is hired by Jakita Wagner to join Planetary, a four-man team (3 field agents and one mysterious backer known as "the Fourth Man") looking to uncover the hidden history of the world as “mystery archeologists." Their first mission: to explore a man-made cavern in the Adirondacks, the last known destination of Doc Brass, an adventurer from the 1930s and 1940s.

Synopsis

Elijah takes Jakita and the Drummer into a secured vault beneath a Planetary building in Brazil that houses a complete collection of Planetary Guidebooks. He then brings them up to speed about his plans and the Four's history. An orbital particle beam sent by the Four destroys the building the three are in, in order to kill them. But the Four miss their targets, and Planetary's 3 field agents prepare to retaliate.
