A beloved cultural icon is BACK...and done RIGHT.

We sent copies of Mr. Comic's first issue out to the world's leading fans and scholars for the Planet of the Apes films, books, TV, and comics franchises, and asked for their honest opinion of what were doing. The response was overwhelmingly positive.

"Just great...

Two thumbs up for coming up with a great story idea and keeping the pace of great storytelling, action and intrigue all wrapped up in one great story to bring classic POTA in the 21st Century."

Terry Hoknes - President, PLANET OF THE APES INTERNATIONAL FAN CLUB Canada


"I am impressed...

This looks set to be the Apes comic that we die-hards have been awaiting a long time.

This is a confident debut on the POTA, you've gone out your way to show respect for a series of films that left our theatres over thirty years ago.

I have every confidence that Apes fans will be as delighted as I am with this first story.

Thanks..."

Alan Maxwell - Co-Editor, Simian Scrolls, the POTA fanzine.


"The pages I've seen so far look very cool...


....and closely follow the styles established in the movies. I'm definitely looking forward to this one!"

James Mishler - Associate Editor, Comics Buyer's Guide


"Excellent work all around...

As an Apes fan, I always welcome any new Apes product with enthusiasm, tempered by nagging worry. Would the new comic respect the original classic stories? Would it be true to Apes? Would it be any good!?

I needn't have worried. Your creative team have nailed it to the wall in terms of script, art and ''feel'' for Apes. Thanks guys--Apes are back and they are in very safe paws, indeed!"

John Roche, Co-Editor, Simian Scrolls, UK.


"Dear Mr. Comics...

You really have captured the spirit of POTA for the fans here. But you have also provided enough background to allow "POTA virgins" to get excited about the ideas you mention without having to have seen the movies prior to reading.

Now, finally, something the fans will love is here. Something that makes you feel that you are back in the POTA Universe. The art is great and the colouring is out of this world! And did I mention the STORY?"

Michael Whitty, Planet of the Apes writer, Co-Owner of the #1 POTA Discussion Group


"I am SO impressed with what you've come up with...

...and I couldn't imagine a better continuation of the original series. And that's after having only read the first issue."

Ed Gross - Contributing Editor at Cinefantastique, Movie Magic, SFX, and author of, "The Planet of the Apes Revisited".

This is just a sampling of a much larger mailbag full of happy responses to our first issue. We've been looking for a bad review, but we can't find it. Ask your local comic shop clerk about ordering Revolution on the Planet of the Apes #1 & 2 before November the 30th.

Editor, Mr. Comics.
