This
is the end of the road as far as Boom Studios and the Planet Of
The Apes are concerned. These three double-sized issues wrap up
all lingering plotlines neatly. The writing and artwork has been
tremendous throughout, and I will make it a point to sit down and
reread all ten of these trade paperbacks again someday. I am quite
pumped about the new film!
(UPDATE 7/12- Boom has just announced a new Apes series, starting this fall!)
