    Just like the moon is made of cheese, mars is covered with red wine, and that's why it's red. It's all about planetary gastronomy, I'm telling ya!

    Maybe it is red due to a planet wide red-light district?

    Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light, turn on the red light, turn on the red light, Roxanne...

    @IveGotSoul: Hey, I'm just killin' time on my lengthy space voyage to Mars, hoping there'll be some ladies there when I arrive.

    In the meantime all I can do is torment the people of io9 with my Sting impression.

    The Martian Proletariat threw off the chains of their oppressors and put the means of production in the tentacles of the Workers.

    GLORY TO THE REVOLUTION!!

    @Grey_Area: But have you read The Red Planet by Mick Farren? He wrote it while the Berlin Wall was going down. It really is a great piece, we just have to view it through the lens of allohistory. Not unlike the 2010 movie with John Lithgow, love that.

    There are already several collected volumes and the final one is scheduled for July.

    Planetary is a great series and (almost) worth waiting for. But don't blame Ellis.... and Cassaday is a busy boy!

    Great concept, pretty good story, terrific art, gorgeous covers, tolerable-to-mediocre signal-to-Ellis ratio, hand-wringing publication schedule.
