God told men they would rule over all the creatures of the earth. The Lawgiver told the apes to beware the beast man, and for good reason. Now as the worst aspects of both species rise up in hatred and fear, two brothers-one man, one ape-hold in their hands the future of life on earth as they try to change the destiny of the Planet of the Apes.

    I can't say enough about how much I love Fernando Dagnino's (Suicide Squad, Justice League: Generation Lost) art through the whole series and he doesn't let up at the end. Everything is lush and vibrant. His ape faces are great. I could tell the difference between Zira, Cornelius, and Caesar in every panel they were in. They all looked like individuals, which is often hard to do with humans in comics, let alone our simian cousins. Read Full Review

    While by no means a bad book, the final installment of Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes simply feels weak in comparison to what came before. It's a simple end that's more dialogue based after a spurt of violence and that leaves it not really driving home the kind of powerful moment it needs to feel like it matters amid all the timeline craziness. Seely and Walker really put in some creative stuff across this series but it's also one that should have been a dozen issues or more to flesh it out and expand it rather than something this compressed. Daganino's artwork was great throughout it and really give it the right tone and roughness to feel like a part of the original works. This is a series that I think will really read well in one full sitting and just trying to break down all the references and inspiration is far too much fun. Read Full Review
