No.

But I am a few stories into the first Planetary TPB.
God that takes me back, I've known who the 4th man is since 2001!
To me Planetary was a vehicle Ellis could use toward writing about any topic and tie it into the narrative. Also I feel the book really picks up in the second collection 7-12.

Plus the FF analogues in Planetary are really *SQUEE* cool.
The Planetary Batman special proved Warren Ellis would write the best Batman. That, the Planetary/Authority and Planetary/JLA Elseworlds are all collected in the Crossing Worlds TPB.

When are they going to collect the rest of the series?
Sometime after the final issue is completed. John Cassaday is still working on the art for that one.

Cassaday is good. I loved his covers for Ghost.

Found some examples online. You know, this got me ruminating. I think he could do great work as the artist of Rai, Dr. Mirage or Shadowman.

If they were released bi-monthly and more likely 4 times a year.
I love his art, but speed is not his strong point. Probably why his Astonishing run and Planetary work best in trade.

You know, he WOULD be perfect for a Bi-monthly or quarterly. Maybe they should have him do the art for a quarterly of rotating stories.
