Planet of the Apes #4

Issue four of Boom! Studios' "Planet of the Apes" series arrives with a brooding, atmospheric cover by Karl Richardson — a powerfully built ape soldier storms forward clutching a rifle and raising a musket overhead, leading a grim procession of armed apes through smoky, shadowed streets. Writer Daryl Gregory and artist Carlos Magno continue "The Long War," and this cover captures that conflict's tension perfectly: these are not creatures to be trifled with, and the mood suggests the stakes are only getting higher.
