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.
