It's A Dan's World: COVER SHOTS: BOOM! Studios April Solicitations

[samurainoir]

Cool! Boom puts out good product. I'll definitely check it out.


Did anyone read the previous series by Mr Comics? Worth checking out?

It had pretty low exposure, but it appears that the credits are comprised of Canadian artists who've previously worked on stuff like Stig's Inferno, Grendel and some of those Clive Barker Shadowline comics.

Do you mean REVOLUTION/POTA? I read it but didn't really care for it... Some of the artwork was good, but story-wise, it strayed too far off the path for me...

It pops up on eBay sometimes, so you should be able to get the complete set for a pretty good price...

cool. Boom did a good job on the farscape titles too. I dropped them after a while only because there were too many coming out. I will have to check out POTA

Cool!

Is it tied to the new film, or based on the classic's?

[apes3978]

I'm pretty sure it's based on the originals only... Maybe if the new film is a hit they'd go in that direction?

[MIB41]

Oh cool. Any updates on the intended sequel to "Battle from the Planet of the Apes"?

[apes3978]

Do you mean the "Rise/Apes" film or is this something else you're referring to?

[MIB41]

Yep. Rise of the Apes. Any news on that or if the treatment will be similar to the original films with regards to makeup?

[Nostalgiabuff]

Rise of the Apes will be using CGI apes....have yet to see any shots of what they will look like

[apes3978]

Yes, there is a little news on it in this thread:

release moved up - Mego Talk

Nostalgiabuff is correct about the CGI apes... That's part of the reason it was moved back to a November release instead of June... But now the suits are happy at the way things are progressing and want to get in on the last of the Summer releases so it's now due in August...

I'm very disappointed at the previews. Very Burton-like. Yuck. Easy pass.

[apes3978]

I was planning on supporting this thing when I first heard about it, though I had reservations about it when I started seeing the various covers... Now with the preview pages that are out there, I'm ready to say forget it...
