Five special young people have been empowered by Gaia, the embodiment of the Earth’s spirit, with an aspect of our world’s elemental forces: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. When the five powers combine, they summon the world’s greatest champion — Captain Planet! Five special young people have been empowered by Gaia, the embodiment of the Earth’s spirit, with an aspect of our world’s elemental forces: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. When the five powers combine, they summon the world’s greatest champion — Captain Planet! But before these would-be eco-warriors can combine their newfound abilities in pursuit of environmental justice, they will have to learn to trust each other — and with each member drawn from different (and sometimes mutually antagonistic) corners of the globe, that’s easier said than done. Unfortunately, time is not on their side. When Gaia is kidnapped, the inexperienced Planeteers are forced to come together — whether they’re ready or not — to face the well-financed might of Lucian Plunder! Even with the five-fold power of Captain Planet on their side, will it be enough to stop the ruthless ingenuity of Earth’s exploiters? Find out in the all-new Captain Planet #1 from red-hot writer DAVID PEPOSE (Space Ghost) and acclaimed artist EMAN CASSALLOS (Vampirella)! Includes the first six issues of the comic series.
