This
book compiles two giant-sized one-shots which were both anthologies
of various points in Apes history. One was set in the original
quadrilogy (sic?) continuity, the other in the more recent trilogy
continuity. It's a fairly mediocre bunch of stories, perhaps the
laziest Apes offering that Boom has done yet. It's like they
are trying to kill the brand with these uninspired rehashes. The only
ones that seemed worthwhile were the nod to the original Marvel black
and white Apes magazines storyline Terror On The Planet Of
The Apes and the Cloud And Rain story which showed Koba's
subversion in action.
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.
