Luckily this doesn't seem to be the case here. It definitely looks like the creators did their research and/or were big fans of the two series. Oh, yeah, the artists did a bang up job of capturing the likenesses of the apes and Trek cast too.<br /><br /><br />- Mike 'until they make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/X-men crossover' from Trinidad & Tobago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-84599586365177081282016-02-08T12:33:48.261-06:002016-02-08T12:33:48.261-06:00Cool review, Karen.

I love a good ape tale.<br /><br />But you forgot to address the question I'm sure is uppermost in everyone's mind...when Shatner and Heston fought, did they BOTH end up shirtless or only one?

I would encourage you all to take a chance on it. It was a lot of fun, perfect reading for a lazy Sunday. <br /><br />Regarding the covers, there were apparently a large number of variant covers for each issue. I recall seeing a number of them in the back of the book. Some looked pretty great (I thought the cover to the TPB was perfect in both theme and execution); others were kind of clunky. But I could see how some it could also be confusing -which issue is which?<br /><br />I should mention this trade also has 4-5 essays by humorist Dana Gould. They are of a personal nature; he is a big POTA fan. I found them somewhat amusing. If you are a fan of his, you might like to read them.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-34611565525532550682016-02-08T11:13:12.710-06:002016-02-08T11:13:12.710-06:00Edo, Colin and Redartz commented on the art.

That gorilla holding the glove would have probably gotten me to buy that issue (if I had seen it). I just don't recall this jumping out at me at the LCS, maybe they didn't stock it.. but it is a great cover.

Like I said in the c...Thanks for the review, Karen!<br />Like I said in the comments to your review from last year, I'm really interested in this because it's gotten such high recommendations from a number of online sources I trust (which includes BAB). I'm glad it's out in a tpb - I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this. By the way, based on the samples you posted, I really like the art. You're right that it captures the likenesses of the characters quite well, and it also looks very natural, i.e., there's none of that stiffness that can often be seen when an artist tries too hard to capture the likeness of actors from TV shows or movies (probably because they depend too much on photo references).Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.com
