Malibu[edit]

I fixed an incorrect date in the Malibu section. The company continued to produce Apes comics until 1993, not 1991. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.210.59 (talk) 20:31, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beware the Beast[edit]

I removed the line "Many fans believe this to be the benchmark in quality writing and art, not usually matched in published works." This is an unsupported statement on several grounds. First, it's just an opinion, not a fact (and it was very likely written by one of the fans who made the comic). Second, it's a very minor fan work, so the vast majority of fans have no idea it even exists and thus cannot call it a benchmark. Third, it's entirely unsourced. In short, that line simply doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article. In fact, there's no reason for "Beware the Beast" to be even in this article at all. It's a fan-made work with a very tiny distribution on an unprofessional basis, and 99.999999 percent of fans have never heard of it.

I agree. Fan produced works should not be included in the article. SonOfThornhill (talk) 15:53, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Get your filthy hands off me you damned dirty Overseer"[edit]

The Adventure Comics PoTA comics included a miniseries in which the Monkey Planet is the site of yet another marooned Tenctonese slave ship, allowing a crossover with another of Adventure's licensed properties, Alien Nation. Sensibly enough, it was titled "Ape Nation", because "Planet of the Aliens" would have been an oxymoron. Asat 00:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Go for it and add it in. I had a look around and that sounds impressively bonkers. The ultimate aim is to split the page up into sections based on the publisher with a brief outline. Examples of what I was thinking of include: A Nightmare on Elm Street (comics), Halloween (comics) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (comics). So start adding what you can and we'll take it from there. The Alien Nation entry is here: Alien Nation (comic book) and we can cross link them. (Emperor 00:46, 25 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I've broken it up into sections and expanded what I could - I did a better version but stupidly closed the wrong tab and lost it (I know) and will go back through it in the future and expand it more. Now it is in sections it should be easier for people to expand. What it really needs are dates and creatives, which specific thing was adapte and if they are original storylines what did they invovle? (Emperor 13:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Citation style?[edit]

There was a recent addition of a citation needed tag to an edit I made, by an anonymous editor. And as much as I loathe anonymous editors, this one was probably correct in looking for citation here.

So in the Boom! Comics section, about the newest line of Apes comics, my edit reflected that the original films are comprised of two different timelines. This is made pretty clear to anyone paying attention to in-film dialogue in Escape (portraying different events than what happened in Conquest) but is also confirmed on the fold-out box art of the Planet of the Apes Blu-ray film collection. But I don't think I've ever seen movie packaging cited before. Would anyone out there in Wiki-land know how this is done, or how to cite a given timeline being altered across two movies?
