Beware the Planet of the Apes #2

Set against the dusty sands of an ape arena packed with onlookers, this second issue of Marvel's 2024 series places a defiant human woman and a robed ape figure back-to-back, bracing against an unseen threat as a whip and spear fill the foreground with immediate tension. Taurin Clarke's cover composition pulls readers right into the action, using a dramatic close-up perspective that makes the danger feel visceral and inescapable. With Marc Guggenheim steering the story and Álvaro López and Alex Guimarães bringing the interior pages to life, Beware the Planet of the Apes #2 looks like a compelling continuation of this iconic world.
