Planet of the Apes #9

In "Kingdom On an Island of the Apes (Part 1)," Derek, heartbroken after Michelle ends their relationship, reveals a secret: he’s built a time machine. Desperate to prove himself and redeem his future, he travels thousands of years ahead—only to land in a world where apes rule and humanity is enslaved. The story unfolds with a quiet tension, as Derek’s fate becomes entangled in a civilization far beyond his imagining.

In "The Horror Inquisition (Ch. 4)," Brent finds himself caught between loyalty and survival as the mutants pressure him to aid their cause, using Nova as leverage when he hesitates. With Dr. Zaius and General Ursus leading a massive force into the Forbidden Zone, Brent witnesses a chilling revelation: the worshipers of the atomic bomb remove their lifelike masks to expose the grotesque, scarred faces beneath—proof of their twisted devotion to a long-dead god.
