Planet of the Apes #2

BOOM! Studios' 2011 series continues with issue two of "The Long War," and the cover by Karl Richardson sets an immediately commanding tone — a massive, silver-maned gorilla soldier looms large, clutching a heavy rifle with an expression of grim, battle-hardened intensity against a smoky, industrial backdrop. Writer Daryl Gregory and artist Carlos Magno bring their talents to a story that promises the kind of tense, politically charged drama this world does so well. If this cover is any indication, the uneasy peace on the Planet of the Apes is anything but.
