Marvel has revealed new variants crossing its superheroes over into the Planet of the Apes. Marvel announced earlier this year that it would publish new Planet of the Apes comics beginning in 2023. To celebrate, the publisher will release variant covers in which Marvel heroes crossover with the Planet of the Apes franchise across various titles. There are more than 25 covers from various popular Marvel Comics artists. Marvel Comics has a history with Planet of the Apes, having published comics based on the film series in 1974. In 1975, Marvel published Adventures on the Planet of the Apes, adapting the Planet of the Apes films.
"We're thrilled to welcome Planet of the Apes back to the House of Ideas!" Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski said in the press release announcing Marvel's plans to publish new Planet of the Apes comics. "The new saga in the pipeline is going explore the limits of what this beloved franchise has to offer through bold comics storytelling, and we look forward to setting foot on this new adventure!"
The Planet of the Apes covers will be released throughout all four weeks of February. The full list follows, along with a few examples provided by Marvel.
