Exile on the Planet of the Apes coming from BOOM! in March
Exile on the Planet of the Apes
BOOM! Studios’ March solicitations include several new projects, including a new Planet of the Apes miniseries called Exile on the Planet of the Apes.
Exile is a sequel to the miniseries Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes and will feature the return of the writing team, Corinna Sara Bechko and Gabriel Hardman. Hardman won’t be drawing the second mini, as he is currently busy with Secret Avengers, so the duo will be joined this time by artist Marc Laming.
“We’re thrilled that BOOM! and Fox are giving us this opportunity,” Hardman said on his blog. “The story is a direct sequel featuring Dr. Zaius and characters we introduced in Betrayal. Well, the ones who survive, anyway.”
Other projects due from BOOM! in March include a Hellraiser annual written solely by Clive Barker, an Ice Age one-shot from their kids line, a new superheroes-meets-Real Housewives comics called Supurbia and a retrospective of now-defunct independent publishing house Kitchen Sink Press.

No Hardman art? too bad. Atleast he’s still writing.

BETRAYAL has been fantastic. I love that they’re exploring Dr. Zaius.

I gotta say, it’s awesome that Boom seems committed to the Apes franchise. Great time to be a fan!

Boom! Is doing a great job with their POTA comics! (And Hellraiser too!) I am loving the ongoing, and read good reviews on Betrayal (I get mine sent out, and haven’t received it yet!). So this is pleasing to hear.
The only thing I AM NOT impressed with? They are reprinting the ALREADY MADE AND RELEASED Moench series from the 70′s And making it $4 an issue still. Really Boom!? $4? I won’t be collecting that series.I would of, if it was cheaper. Besides, I have the first 4 issues from when Adventure Comics released them in the 90′s. Hopefully the trades of them will be cheaper!!
