Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Contagion

Set during the time jump between the two modern Planet of the Apes films, this 2014 one-shot from Boom! Studios explores the rapid collapse of human civilization. Written by Caleb Monroe with art by Tom Derenick, Contagion focuses on the early spread of the Simian Flu and the desperate, failing efforts to contain it. It’s a compact, atmospheric bridge story that expands the world of the rebooted film saga.
