Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #3

The halfway point of BOOM! Studios' six-issue series arrives with a cover by Christopher Mitten that commands immediate attention — a massive, battle-scarred ape face fills the frame, rendered in smoldering oranges and greens against a dark, splattered background that crackles with tension. Those piercing eyes and that weathered, intense expression suggest a world where the stakes between humans and apes are anything but simple. With Michael Moreci writing and Dan McDaid on interior art, this 2015 series continues to draw from the rich, morally complex territory of its source material.
