October 26, 2011 8:46 pm I'm just puzzling over what they're trying to set up with this. They wouldn't print it if they didn't think there was a revenue stream involved.

October 26, 2011 8:13 pm Interesting ... I was disappointed that Wilson died, but the revelation that he considered Matty one of his best (only?) friends meant something in terms of Matty's recent history. Zee's character development has been situated more in her back-story, although the revelation that she'd been keeping all of Matty's material was intriguing. You're right though ... we've seen them come full circle, but haven't really seen her develop. I'm curious. If you thought of the city itself as a character (perhaps even the central character), how would you read its development?

October 26, 2011 3:29 pm I don't entirely disagree, but am waiting for the final issue to render a final judgment. Fast-forwarding the clock was an interesting but unexpected choice. As complex as cease-fires and peace settlements are in real life can we reasonably expect Wood to have wrapped this up with a neat little bow?

October 26, 2011 12:37 pm This is starting to look more and more like Project Superpowers redux. Sorry to say that I'm jumping off at the end of the first arc.

October 26, 2011 12:36 pm I keep jumping off, and then keep getting sucked back in.

October 26, 2011 12:31 pm I was just thinking about this the other day. I mean, has this book ever even caught a wiff of an Eisner nomination? I'm glad to have collected this in single issues. My nephews will enjoy reading it one day I like to think.

October 26, 2011 12:27 pm At least one significant content error so far. Thoreau was not a significant influence in the development of Gandhi's thought ... as Gandhi himself insisted in his writings ... Gandhi specifically named Tolstoy, Ruskin and the Hindu mystic Raychandbhai as his three main influences. The lettering needs to be re-edited as well. With that said, I'm excited to see this GN on the shelves. I'm always looking for graphic adaptations of historical content to incorporate in the classroom, and this will fit the bill perfectly.

October 26, 2011 12:17 pm They're really hitting this one out of the park. I think it would be daunting to write a Planet of the Apes story in this day and age, what with the epic quality of the original movies and the shoddy/shaky quality of more recent entries. Anything Ape will always be compared to the original. I've never read any of the earlier comics so have no idea how this book stacks up against them. But, so far, Boom!'s "Planet of the Apes" has been blessed with a well-crafted story that combines mystery, thriller, and political intrigue with exceptional art work. I've been buying the variant covers of this one ... may have to pick this up in hard cover as well.
