The Planetary Omnibus by Warren Ellis
A collected comics narrative follows a secretive group of self-styled "archaeologists of the impossible"—an amnesiac with uncanny control over his surroundings, a super-strong young woman, and a genius information-savant—who roam the globe excavating hidden superhuman histories, confronting strange technologies and monstrous pasts, and unraveling how the twentieth century was secretly reshaped by a quartet of shadowy power-brokers. Mixing pulpy adventure, superhero deconstruction, and metafictional riffs on pop-culture myth, the stories move between elegiac world-building, noir mystery, and kinetic action as the team pieces together the planet’s buried architecture and wrestles with the moral cost of exposing long-buried truths.
