Product Description

From Amazon.com

To coincide with the big-screen release of Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, Dark Horse released both a graphic novelization of the movie and this, a separate miniseries set decades later. Collecting all three issues of The Human War, this trade paperback follows the progress of a brutal civil war between human guerillas (along with their sympathetic ape compatriots) and a beefy, well-armed gorilla army. Things aren't going so well on the simian side, and there's even been some grumbling in the senate about negotiating with the human rabble. The descendants of some of the movie's main players--including the evil Minister Shiva, mongrel granddaughter of General Thade--duke it out in a war that threatens to escalate to genocide. --Paul Hughes

1.0 out of 5 stars The Lost War, May 13 2004
By Ametisti (Chicago,IL,USA) - See all my reviews
I was very disappointed with this comic. The art is very nice. However, the story is dribble. The writer assumes that you've seen the new movie and know the past characters.
Not very well written or creative. Good for a collectors item though I guess.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a MADHOUSE!!!! A MADHOUSE!!!!, Jun 23 2002
By Daniel V. Reilly (Upstate New York, United States) - See all my reviews
Planet of the Apes: The Human War commits the cardinal sin for a movie tie-in: It assumes you've seen the movie, and loved it so much that you'll buy into a story that really has nothing in common with it except the basic framework.

Considering that Tim Burton's film wasn't well received by either critics OR fans (I liked it, though!), maybe Dark Horse's decision to have this book revolve around a trip to Calima (Astronaut Leo Davidson's downed ship, from which all Ape and Human life on the planet evolved) wasn't such a good idea...Why not? Well, because they assume the reader KNOWS what Calima IS, and what it's secret is, so they never tell us...we're just supposed to KNOW. I knew, and I was still unsatisfied, so I can imagine how a casual reader would feel after putting this book down. I was also disturbed by the totally out-of-place art, and the slang the Human characters use...."I am SO gonna kick your butt!!" doesn't scream out Planet of the Apes to me...it screams out sloppy writing, which surprised me, since I only bought the book because of Writer Ian Edginton, who is usually rock-solid.
All in all, a terrible effort, which makes it easy to see why Dark Horse's Ape revival only lasted a pitiful six issues. Avoid at all costs!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great but entertaining, Mar 10 2002
I picked up this comic book since I liked Tim Burton's movie a lot and wanted to read some other stories in this world.

It takes place at least 40-50 years after the movie. The main characters are grandsons of some of the characters from the movie.

The story is pretty interesting. I liked how it was linked up with the movie. The characters were fairly good.

The artwork is somewhat cartoony and not for all tastes. I found it to be satisfactory. Because it has more of a cartoon feel, it is colorful and also clear. Although I like lots of detail in comic art, sometimes it gets annoying in the action when everything is too cluttered. This comic avoids that.

Regarding the content: there is some graphic violence and some brief cursing.

All in all it was a brisk, entertaining read. Followed by an on-going monthly series published by Dark Horse, which continues with this story and characters. I read the first three issues of that series and found it to be along the same quality, perhaps a little better.

Worth checking out if your an APES fan. If not, you might want to steer clear of this.
