I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm damn excited about Planet of the Apes coming to comics. Mostly because I'm a big Rod Sterrling fan and love the first movie because of it. Well today we have some gorgeous preview pages from Boom! Studios up-coming release of the new series. You can check out our Wonder Con panel info for more details about Apeshere.
BOOM! Studios brings you a stunning first look at the all-new ongoing PLANET OF THE APES comic series hitting store shelves April 27,2011! It's a bold new vision of the classic Apes universe written by award-winning sci-fi novelist Daryl Gregory (Dracula: The Company of Monsters, Pandemonium) and drawn by sensational artist Carlos Magno (Green Lantern Corps).
