Planet of the Apes #4

In "A Riverboat Named Simian," Jo and Jason find themselves hunted across a war-torn landscape after Warko, loyal only to Brutus, forces them into a desperate flight. With the skycar destroyed and their escape cut off, they must navigate treacherous terrain while uncovering the shocking alliance between Brutus and the enigmatic Gestalt Commander Be-One, who has unleashed mutant war machines in a bid to eliminate the Lawgiver.

In "Gunpowder Julius (Ch. 2)," Jason, Alexander, and the Lawgiver survive a treacherous river and waterfall to reach a jungle settlement ruled by the enigmatic Gunpowder Julius. As they seek refuge, Brutus closes in with a brutal assault, aided by strange mutant war machines—tanks that rumble through the undergrowth. With the settlement’s defenses tested and the night alive with tension, the fate of the survivors hangs on the coming dawn.

In "Trial (Ch. 4)," Taylor faces a courtroom rigged against him, where the prosecutor dismantles his defense with ruthless precision. The three judges, clearly prejudiced, preside over a trial that feels less like justice and more like a verdict already decided.
