Planet of the Apes #6

This sixth and final chapter of Marvel's six-part Planet of the Apes adaptation arrives with a cover by Bob Larkin that crackles with desperate motion — a woman and a man on horseback racing across a sun-baked desert landscape while armed apes on foot give chase, and a menacing ape in the foreground levels a rifle squarely at the viewer. The tagline "Where Man Once Stood Supreme — Now Rule the Apes" sets the stakes perfectly, and the promise of a "cataclysmic conclusion" gives the whole image a thrilling sense of finality. Writer Doug Moench and artist Mike Ploog bring their "Simian Fiction" saga to a close in what the cover bills as the Mighty Marvel Manner — and there's even a bonus feature on how to be an ape for a day.
