Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #2

The second chapter of BOOM! Studios' six-part series sets a vivid, unsettling tone with Christopher Mitten's striking cover: a snarling ape looms large in the foreground, teeth bared and eyes sharp with intensity, while a weathered television set bearing a skull emblem and the words "of America" rests in the rubble below — a haunting image of a civilization in collapse. Writer Michael Moreci and artist Dan McDaid continue their exploration of the tense world bridging the rebooted film saga, with colorist Jason Wordie lending the scene a moody, painterly atmosphere. If this cover is any indication, the series has a confident, atmospheric voice all its own.
