Salgood Sam here, doing the look at me thing. Hopefully by now you’ve heard that there’s a new Planet of the Apes books coming out this December, but if not, HEY YOU MONKEYS, THERE IS A NEW PLANET OF THE APES COMIC BOOK COMING OUT THIS DECEMBER! It’s in Previews now.
http://previews.diamondcomics.com/default.asp?t=1&m=1&c=23&s=126&ai=22282
It’s called Revolution on the Planet of the Apes, and it tells the story of the earliest days of the Ape Rebellion, picking up shortly after the movie conquest leaves off. The ORIGINAL PLANET OF THE APES characters star in this six issue miniseries. Featuring Caesar, Aldo, Dr. Zaius, Cornelius, the Lawgiver, Zira, Colonel Taylor, and others from the classic film series.
Story by Eisner-Award winning author Ty Templeton (Spider-Man Human Torch, Simpsons, Batman Adventures) and Joe O'Brien (Robocop: Prime Directives).
On the art chores, well there’s me! 2005 Doug Wright Awards Nominee Salgood Sam (Sea of Red, Terminator, RevolveR, Wonder Woman, Dr. Strange), I’m drawing the main story for the first two and last two of the series, as well as doing a backup in one other.
Artists include Tom Fowler (Green Arrow, Star Wars) who’s doing #3 & #4, and colouring it all is Eisner-nominated colourist Bernie Mireault (The Jam, Grendel, Dr Robot). Each issue will have a backup story or two as well, with a guest artist. You can read one by Gabriel Morrisette for free right now on the Mr Comic Web site!

Revolution on the Planet of the Apes #1
Recommended by Jim Kuhoric
I am really excited about the launch of MR Comics' new series, Revolution on the Planet of the Apes. Everything I have seen so far - from their brilliant cover images to dazzling interior art - has screamed "this is the real deal!" No super-fancy special effects trying to cover up bad actors pretending to be angst-ridden anti-heroes. No, this is old school, in-your-face "Chuck Heston-approved" Planet of the Apes action! I can hear the haunting soundtrack from the original film in my head looking at these nostalgic images. The story begins in the city of San Diego in the near future, ablaze with the flames of ape rebellion. Caesar is back, and leading the way for the human-run planet to transform into a warlike simian culture. All of the original movie characters are back in two new stories per issue, including Cornelius, Dr. Zaius, Zira, and Taylor. Classic sci-fi fans, join me in breaking out those Apes DVDs and do your best Taylor impression with me - "get your stinking paws off me you damned dirty apes!" But be sure you get your "stinking paws" on this debut issue!
