Yes, "Revolution on the Planet of the Apes" is an ALL CANADIAN production! Ty has become active on one of the POTA discussion groups and I've also met Tom Fowler here in Ottawa (because of that chance encounter I was the first to bring the news of the new Apes comics to all the POTA DGs).

Like you say, these comics are still pricey when compared to their paperback novel counterparts, but when it comes to Apes I can't resist and thankfully these comics are very well written and drawn. 

Again, it all comes down to a person's particular likes and dislikes.  The Ape lover in me has compelled me to get all the Apes comics I can get my hands on, and I'll be the first to admit that some of those are really bad comics. But I seem to enjoy them nonetheless.

I like to keep and open mind and try things. For instance, I've tried reading Manga comics now and then and for the most part, I haven't really liked what I've read. But there was one that was simply awesome that I read years ago. (Can't remember the title offhand, but it was passed along to me by Cosmic. It may even have been at one of the EotU GTs.)
