Planet of the Apes 5 ─ The Utopians

The epic conclusion of Daryl Gregory's PLANET OF THE APES opus!

It’s the final chapter of what Jason Aaron (SCALPED, WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN) called: “The best PLANET OF THE APES comic ever.And one of my favorite comics of the year, period.” And this time writer Daryl (DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS) is joined by the critically-acclaimed artist Diego Barreto (IRREDEEMABLE). When the Lawgiver was assassinated by a human, Ape City fell into a vicious civil war. Ten years have passed since the horrific violence and a fragile peace is emerging. Voice Alaya has been deposed and awaits sentencing in Ape City’s prison. Meanwhile, Sully has begun to rally forces, both human and ape. Little do they know they’re both on a collision course towards an even greater danger...
