Planet of the Apes Special #1

Planet of the Apes Special #1 was a really good story.  I had not read the comics leading up to this special so I might have been a little behind the other readers of the book.  But what was presented was a very good story.  A war story to be sure and it happens long before (20 years?) the Planet of the Apes movies.  This is the story for the control of an Ape City Mak that claimed to have equality between humans and apes.  But at this time the humans had been driven from the city and Apes were killing ape for control.  There were two factions lead by sisters.  There was a human army that had help from monks with telepathy and illusion powers much like the mutants in the Apes movies.  There was also an Ape Khan with ships invading or brining an army to help the humans – though in this story his army does no real fighting.  The Khan just talks a lot to a chimp Historian.  It was all very interesting I may have to hunt down the comics that come before this story.
