Studios we’re going Ape over the worldwide premiere of RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Friday, August 5th.

“The Apes will rise this week, and we’re keeping Apes mania alive by releasing not one but two more episodes of the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES free online prequel!” says BOOM! Studios Founder and Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie. “That’s right, these are the final episodes of the series! So if you know anyone who hasn’t read the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES free online prequel, link, chat, tweet, or facebook www.apescomics.com and see the events leading up to the feature film!”

The RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES free online prequel is written by PLANET OF THE APES comic series writer Daryl Gregory and drawn by Harvey Award-nominated artist Damian Couceiro (HAWKS OF OUTREMER) and Tony Parker (DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?). This free online prequel details the events leading up to the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES feature film debuting worldwide this Friday, August 5th.

Since its debut on July 13th BOOM! Studios has released a brand new 5-page episode of the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES free online comic book prequel every Wednesday at www.apescomics.com. Today marks the final two exciting installments of the online prequel released two days before the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES movie premiere this Friday, August 5th.

In April BOOM! Studios announced they were publishing an all new ongoing PLANET OF THE APES comics series set in the original classic 1968 movie continuity. Subsequently, a flurry of fan interest caused a complete sell-out of PLANET OF THE APES #1, sending the seminal issue into second print even before hitting store shelves!
