Seeing this... thing listed among the week's releases gave me an immediate flashback to last month and all the mediocrity that was Justice League/Power Rangers #1. Except, there's a key distinction between these books that I noticed pretty quickly. While both are crossovers bearing both companies' names, DC is technically the publisher for JL/PR, while it's Boom! for PotA/GL (this is reflected in the construction of their titles, with the publisher's properties being listed first respectively). My first thought was something along the lines of "oh god, there's another one." This was followed quickly by me wondering who got the shorter end of the stick. Had the deal(s) somehow screwed DC while simultaneously landing Boom! a good book? After all, Green Lantern and Planet of the Apes is a far stranger crossover than Power Rangers and the Justice League. However, perhaps that meant there was a much better reason for it to be happening. With that thought in mind, I went ahead and signed up to review Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1. And guess what? It's garbage.
