Written by David F. Walker and illustrated by Jonas Scharf, BOOM! Studios’ War for the Planet of the Apes comic series is an original story set between 20th Century Fox’s films, 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and the upcoming eponymous film. As Caesar and his apes recoup and recover after the Kubo-led attack on the human compound in San Francisco, the military begins moving in, setting the stage for the momentous war to come.
War for the Planet of the Apes #1 will be available for sale starting July 12th at local comic book shops and digitally. War for the Planet of the Apes hits theaters on Friday, July 14th.
