BOOM! Studios is proud to announce the release of PLANET OF
THE APES SPECIAL #1, a standalone tale written by sci-fi novelist Daryl Gregory
(PLANET OF THE APES, DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS) and illustrated by Diego
Barreto (IRREDEEMABLE), with 32 pages of story and art. The PLANET OF THE APES
SPECIAL #1, the first of three over-sized issues that will conclude Gregory's
Planet of the Apes opus, is available in comic shops this Wednesday, February
13th.
It’s the return of what Jason Aaron called: “The best PLANET
OF THE APES comic ever. And one of my favorite comics of the year, period.”
When the Lawgiver was assassinated by a human, Ape City fell into a vicious
civil war. Ten years have passed since the horrific violence and a fragile
peace is emerging. Voice Alaya has been deposed and awaits sentencing in Ape
City’s prison. Meanwhile, Sully has begun to rally forces, both human and ape.
Little do they know they’re both on a collision course towards an even greater
danger...
“I've got mixed emotions: on one hand we're bringing to a
close a storyline we've been working on for over two years. On the other, hand,
we're bringing to a close a storyline we've
been working on for over two years! It's 90 pages of war, death,
politics, and redemption that I think follows in the best POTA tradition. I'm
grateful to the fans who've followed us this far. It's been a blast for me,”
said Gregory.
PLANET OF THE APES SPECIAL #1 ships in January with a main
cover by Marek Oleksicki (28 DAYS LATER) and a retailer incentive cover by Paul
Azaceta (UNTHINKABLE, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN).
