Apes Planet Prequel: Chapter 2

A free online digital comic book prequel to Twentieth Century Fox's epic motion picture RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES has been released. The story of the comic is set before the events detailed in the film, presenting an epic tale of two apes brutally taken from the wild and driven into a life of captivity and experimentation - a journey that will alter the fate of the world forever.

The comic series is written by acclaimed PLANET OF THE APES writer Daryl Gregory, with sensational artwork by Damian Couceiro (HAWKS OF OUTREMER) and Tony Parker (DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?). Together, they set the stage for RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, the first live-action film in the history of movies to star and be told from the point of view of a sentient animal - a character with human-like qualities, who can strategize, organize and ultimately lead a revolution, and with whom audiences will experience a real emotional bond.

The film was impossible to make until the technology, invented for Avatar and now advanced to a new dimension, caught up to the idea behind the movie. A new free five-page RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES digital comic book story debuts each Wednesday until the final 10-page epic conclusion on August 3rd, two days before the film's release.

The comic book prequel provides an in-depth exploration of the events leading up to the film, delving into the lives of the two apes at the center of the story. Readers will witness their transformation from wild, free-spirited creatures to captives forced to endure experimentation and confinement. Through this harrowing journey, the apes will develop extraordinary abilities, setting the stage for the momentous events that will unfold in the motion picture.

By bridging the gap between the comic and the film, the creative team behind RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES aims to offer fans a more immersive and comprehensive experience. The digital comic format allows for a seamless integration of the two media, enabling readers to delve deeper into the mythos and gain a better understanding of the characters and their motivations.

The release of the RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES digital comic book prequel is a testament to the power of storytelling in the digital age. By leveraging the versatility of the medium, the creators have crafted an engaging and visually stunning narrative that complements the cinematic experience, providing a unique opportunity for fans to explore the world of the apes in a more intimate and interactive manner.

As the countdown to the film's release continues, the anticipation for RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES continues to build. The digital comic book prequel promises to be a must-read for fans of the franchise, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the events that will lead to the epic confrontation between man and ape on the silver screen.
