General Ursus forces a Mutant (a mutated human telepath) to make the Predator (an alien Yautja warrior) his and Dr. Zaius' slave.
Arch (the ANSA astronaut) blows up her crashed spaceship (and the Gorilla soldiers of General Ursus who were sniffing around for weapons) and grabs all the futuristic guns lying around.
Cornelius and Zira bring some primitive humans to The Mutants of the Forbidden Zone (the ruins of New York City). Cronus (another Mutant) utilizes his telepathic powers to teach the primitive humans how to use the futuristic guns.
Will Arch and her new army of Mutes and Mutants be able to stop Ursus and his mind-controlled Predator from exterminating all humans?
What I did like:
Sumptuous covers by Stonehouse & Salvador Larroca/Morry Hollowell!
What I did not like:
Astronaut Arch has completely forgotten that she is on a rescue mission.
Still no smart aleck giant brains in jars aka The Inheritors. Very disappointing.
Where is Mendez XXVI!?
Needed more Minister Sabian, Astronaut John Brent, Astronaut George Taylor, Lucius, Julius and Nova. A lot more.
The unpublished scripts of Doug Moench: Forbidden Zone Prime, The Captive of the Canals, To meet the Makers and Derek Zane + Faron in Journey to the Planet of the Apes are still not adapted!
I give it a 7/10. Greg Pak still doesn't tap into Doug Moench's POTA expanded universe. And who is physically stronger, a Yautja or a Gorilla? We wanted to know since issue #0.
