It's really stupid. Tarzan is actually on the Planet of the Apes. If you read this you should probably suspend your disbelief. It's essentially an amalgamation of the 80s Tarzan movie Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes and the first Planet of the Apes movie, but as a comic/graphic novel. A lot of the other reviewers here weren't impressed. I had low expectations. But I think it works. You should definitely read this if you have an interest in jungle exploration/apes/extreme violence narratives. Read it, it's brilliant

Loved the combination of Tarzan's lore with Planet of the Apes. The writers did a great job of keeping the settings and personalities true to both franchises while crafting an enjoyable yarn.

I also adored the use of Pellucidar!

My only complaint is that once or twice the action was a little hard to follow. But still, all in all it was an enjoyable read.

I really like the concept of this story. The author did a good job of trying to combine the two worlds with an original story. I find that a lot of cross-world stories (especially with superheroes) kind of suck. They're cliche and have basically the same story. The two main characters fight each other before banding together. This book offered a unique and fun story.

However, the author was a bit too ambitious I think. There is a lot going on and it is a bit "out there." Still a good read and I would recommend it.
