Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Cast Coming to WonderCon With BOOM! Studios

BOOM! Studios is the official publisher of Planet of the Apes comics, part of a broad arrangement they have with 20th Century Fox, who are distributing the film, due out on July 11.

Limited-edition WonderCon exclusive Dawn of the Planet of the Apes prints illustrated by Garry Brown (who works on BOOM!’s popular Sons of Anarchy comic) will be available for purchase for $20, and the cast will be available to sign them from 2:30-3 p.m. on Saturday, April 19, at the BOOM! Studios booth, #319, at the Anaheim Convention Center. The signing will be ticketed and a print purchase is required for the signing.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is about a growing nation of genetically-evolved apes led by Caesar (first introduced in 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes) that is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

With the movie coming out shortly before San Diego Comic Con International in July, expect a number of high-profile appearances at smaller cons between now and then to help increase the film’s visibility without the boost from a packed Hall H panel and the positive buzz that generally flows from them.
