Road To The Kingdom - Fall of Man Comics

The Fall of Man comic arc is the most recent comic series focused on the reboot trilogy. It is unique in that it doesn't feature Caesar and his troop of escaped apes at all. Some might find that a bit dull but I like to see the world building away from Caesar. It is set 4-5 years after the Simian Flu outbreak and follows a human soldier named Julia who is tasked with protecting and moving apes to Washington DC in the hopes of finding a cure. Along the way, Julia reflects on how the world has descended into chaos while fighting against a human militia, the Army of Man, who are killing apes and "monkey loving" humans alike.

The comic is a typical apocalyptic tale, though I feel like the large cast of apes and humans don't get much personality. Julia falls in love with a fellow soldier/scientist she's traveling with and I don't even remember his name, despite reading this a few days ago. Buster and the other apes get some good fight scenes but only Buster gets a name and I have a hard time figuring out what they want. When we first see the apes, Buster seems to ignore Julia's reassurance that she'll protect them and he signs to the others that "Ape protect ape". I thought it was setting up that the apes would leave the humans the first chance they got to take care of their own. But then they're willingly fighting alongside the human soldiers in DC, even when the apes could easily run off. I don't expect there to be a bond between Buster and Julia like Caesar and Will had in Rise, but I never understood how Buster felt about his human counterpart. Even in the very last panel, I can't tell if Buster is happy or having doubts about how the journey ends. If the story was meant to show humans and apes working together and showing a united front, I don't think the comic succeeded/ It doesn’t feel like the apes care about Julia or the mission and I would have preferred Buster and his crew to just leave the humans behind.

Also featured is a French gorilla named Pug who is raising an ape army against the Army of Man, and killing anyone who gets in their way. This story is secondary to the main tale, with neither of them intertwining at all. I wish Pug's story had been the primary focus; though seeing the last bits of governments and civilization is interesting, I much preferred Pug. We get little of his background but see that he spares and feeds human children who were held captive by the militia. It seems he can even rally human adults to his cause. His tale is brief compared to Julia and her team but I really enjoyed Pug more. Plus it's great to see what's happening in another country that isn't the USA, where Caesar and his apes live. I think both stories suffered from feeling rushed by having to share the comic, rather than each getting their own arc but Pug's story was much more intriguing than Julia's in the long run.

The world building of humanity crumbling is always a good read to fans of apocalyptic stories and it makes sense to look at how the governments and health organizations fell apart. But my favorite parts were the small bits of light seen amongst the chaos. I loved the glimpse of orangutans in Malaysia willingly working with human survivors. Pug was instantly fascinating when he took care of the human children his group freed. While a civilian army growing around the world to kill apes makes sense, it was nice to see pockets of people and apes getting along. All in all, not my favorite of the POTA comics but still a fun apocalyptic story for the apes series.

Intro / Previous / Next

Nope, not legit as far as I can tell. Given that the author’s Goodreads says that in this one year, they’re releasing books related to other movies like Ghostbusters, Inside Out 2, Furiosa, Dune Part 2, and more, I think this is someone using AI to write books sound like they fit in a movie’s universe, adding the matching movie title, and throwing it onto Amazon to make a quick buck.

Plus all the covers of the actual tie-in books from Caesar’s trilogy are stock photos of recognizable characters, mostly Caesar.

So don’t buy this book thinking it’s legit tie-in material, and really don’t support and author who is probably using AI to publish over a dozen books in the same year.

Does anybody know if this is a legit movie tie-in, or if this book is unrelated to the new movie? Leaning towards it not being a canon tie-in, but just wanted to make sure.

Several new posters, primarily international posters, released over the last week as the countdown to the new film continues

redesigning my take on Soona and Anaya

I watched the original films only after seeing Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I actually own a DVD box set of all five original movies, though I still haven’t seen the fourth or fifth movie, only the first three films.

I cant help but wonder how many of the people seeing the new planet of the apes movies have seen or even heard of the original ones.

I come bearing gifts… in the form of captioned apes.

Enjoy! No givesies backsies!

Absolutely agree! The female ape characters of Caesar’s trilogy are really lacking. The tie-in material is the only place they get fleshed out (Bright Eyes got a whole prequel comic and Cornelia was very prominent in the Revelations book). I have some hope that hope that Noa’s mother Dar and friend Soona will get more to do than Cornelia and Lake had in the previous movies since they’ve both been pretty present in the marketing for Kingdom.

Kingdom of The Planet of The Apes comes out next month…

Please let there be female ape characters with speaking roles/actually are involved in the plot! We didn’t get that with Cornelia or Lake and Bright Eyes hardly had much screen time despite, arguably, being the one to start everything in Rise.

This will also be the first Planet of The Apes movie since Disney bought the franchise along with other Fox properties so I’m really hoping it doesn’t suck (or at least much, much better than Wish or other movies they’ve made lately).

Listen, I will always adore Caesar with all my heart and soul because he’s amazing and Andy Serkis can do no wrong. But I’m so hyped for Noa! He is his own ape, living under very different circumstances from Caesar, and I can’t wait to see him on the big screen!

If anyone starts treating Noa like how ppl treated Korra then I will fight you

DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION

Here is Mae & Noa from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, recreating the Tarzan & Jane scene! 😂❤️😍

This is my first time drawing Mae, and either my third or fourth time drawing Noa. This is possibly one of the hardest pieces I've worked on, so far.

The polls are in, I will be posting fan art from time to time! I work with traditional art, preferably mixed media. I would like to do digital art as soon as I have a proper laptop or tablet. I was very hesitant about sharing my art on this site. I am still learning and practicing how to do shading and lighting, especially with colored pencils.
