Planet of the Apes #5

Part 2 of the "Bloodlines" arc arrives with a cover that means business — a charging pack of armored gorilla warriors surges forward through dense jungle foliage, blades raised and teeth bared, their ornate red-and-brown battle gear suggesting a disciplined, fearsome military force. Joe Weems' pencils and inks bring a raw kinetic energy to the scene, with the lead warrior's spiked gauntlet and drawn sword filling the foreground while more soldiers press in from behind. Dan Abnett scripts, with interior art by Adrian Sibar, as this 2002 Dark Horse series continues to explore the world of the apes with real intensity.
