‘Star Trek’ Meets ‘Planet of the Apes’ at IDW and BOOM! Studios
Back in the 60s, the world of film and television wasn’t as dominated by big franchises as it is now simply because there obviously weren’t as many. In the realm of science fiction, there were really only a few big names and two of them were Star Trek and The Planet of the Apes. Now […] More
