Ape shall not kill ape… but what about humans?He delighted you with A Nightmare before Christmas. He terrified you with Sleepy Hollow. Now Tim Burton is your guide to the Planet of the Apes, a visionary new re-imagining of the classic sci-fi movie.

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 book based on the Burton film, apes and humans strive to live together in equality after decades of ignorance and strife. But not everyone in ape society shares this enlightened view, and not all humans think apes can ever be trusted. Now it will true leaders on both sides to bring them together and quench the fires of dissent that could lead to bloody, full-scale war! Following 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.

Story/Spoilers
First in part #1, Several decades after human astronaut Leo Davidson’s adventure on the ape world, ape society has been torn apart from within by a horrible civil war that’s erupted between ape rebels advocating human integration and the fearful but powerful ape regime. Is the ape, Seneca and his scattered but loyal followers of humans and apes enough to defeat the charismatic Shiva and her imposing ape army? The conflict has reached a bloody stalemate. But Shiva has a deadly secret that will end the war…and wipe out mankind! After all, the only good human is a dead human!

Next in part #2, The anti-human forces of Shiva’s ape army seek to exterminate the integrated human and ape resistance led by the chimp leader, Seneca, and the human, Esau. Meanwhile, a double-agent walks a dangerous line, working for the ape army while smuggling arms and provisions to the rebels. When this agent is exposed, secrets are revealed that force both sides into a race against time for the ultimate weapon in the war…and for the chance to rule the Planet of the Apes!

Finally in part #3, The fate of humankind is decided in this gripping finale! Shiva’s ape army seeks to deliver a killing blow to the integrated human and ape rebellion by utilizing the most terrible weapon on their planet, nuclear power! As both sides race to find the wreckage of the spaceship Oberon, Attar, the wise, semi-retired gorilla general, wonders if Shiva’s fanaticism and hatred for humans will spill over to ape kind. If so, it would lead to her tyranny over the entire Planet of the Apes!
