This
is a great time to be a Planet of the Apes fan. Between the most
recent movie and these comic books from Boom, quality for the
franchise is at a high not seen in 40 years. Daryl Gregory is a
great writer, and he gets what the Apes universe is all about. I am
really enjoying seeing the relations between apes and humans strained
to the breaking point, and the fallout which becomes “the way
things are” in the first film. I try not to use the word great
often or lightly, but this is a great title.
The
OCD zone- Boom Studios' collected editions are high quality
stuff. Wax coated cardstock covers and nice coated stock
paper...everything that an OCD suffering boy (or girl) could possibly
want.
DC
has made strides in fixing the problem of their books not laying
flat. Join the cause page if you want make sure that DC keeps up the
recent good work on their hardcovers. Don't do it for me, do it for
the children. Won't somebody please think of the children??
Does Boom do hardcovers very often? I'm holding out.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall them doing any deluxe ones. I think that did HCs for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but those were PHC equivalents.
