Up until now, Conspiracy has been structured like some of Zenescope Entertainment’s previous anthology series, such as Grimm Tales of Terror and early issues of Grimm Fairy Tales before it became a superhero epic. This issue brings elements of all the previous standalone stories into a story that functions both as the series’ ultimate payoff and, incredibly, a one-off comic that can be read on its own without prior knowledge. Hans Rodionoff and Goldbergs showrunner Adam F. Goldberg script from a plot by Joe Brusha, Ralph Tedesco, and Dave Franchini, and this writers’ room-style storytelling pays off well with Conspiracy: Planet X. Like previous issues, this is a well-balanced mixture of psychological terror, sci-fi intrigue, and emotional, character-based storytelling.
