Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #5

Two apes lock intense, glaring stares in an extreme close-up that dominates this penultimate issue of BOOM! Studios' six-part series — their confrontation reflected below in a web of silhouetted apes that hints at the broader tribal stakes. Christopher Mitten's cover work captures real tension in the set of those jaws and the cold green gleam of their eyes, set against a murky, jungle-hued backdrop. With Michael Moreci writing and Dan McDaid on interior art, this fifth chapter arrives at exactly the moment when the series' conflicts are poised to come to a head.
