Get your comics onto my shelves, you damn, dirty ape!
The Planet of the Apes franchise has been on ice since the reboot films wrapped up with 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. Fox is preparing to start the films up again in 2024, meaning we’ll see what the series is like now that Disney has a hold of it. And with Disney comes Marvel, which means some new comics.
Starting next year, Marvel will be publishing a brand new Planet of the Apes ongoing series from writer David F. Walker (Bitter Root, Power Man & Iron Fist) and artist Dave Wachter (Guns of Shadow Valley, Aliens: Aftermath). The comic was originally announced back in June, with editor-in-chief CB Cebulski saying at the time that the new comic “is going explore the limits of what this beloved franchise has to offer through bold comics storytelling, and we look forward to setting foot on this new adventure!”.
