Timing
is everything. This prequel to last year's movie would have been more
enjoyable had I experienced it when the single issues came out around
the movie release. Instead these comics were released in a collection
which was pushed back several times. As it stands, it is still a
highly enjoyable read that fills in plenty of gaps between the second
and third act in the rebooted trilogy.
If
you enjoy the new Apes films then you will enjoy this. If you dislike
them then you will also dislike this. I enjoyed the explanation of
the virus as well as what drove The Colonel to go rogue. It's a brisk
read and a pleasant way to spend an evening.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 4 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
This
is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials used in
physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or
women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest
convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.
Paper
stock: Super glossy coated stock. I'm not kidding. You get
light glare with no lights on during the day, even when you are
nowhere near a window. If you get stranded on a desert island and
have this book with you then you could use the pages as a reflective
substance to alert the search planes as they pass by.
Binding:
Perfect bound trade paperback.
Cardstock
cover notes:
Matte coated cardstock cover.
