Ape Nation pt. 1 (with Barm)
The ApeCast
The most unexpected comics crossover event of 1991 is here! Jack and Geoff are joined again by Barm to discuss the first two issues of Malibu's Ape Nation! It's the comic that answers the question "What would happen if POTA met Alien Nation, the aliens-as-metaphor-for-immigrants sci-fi franchise that was briefly a thing in the late 80s/early 90s?" The answer is FUN, as your Ape hosts discuss Alien Nation as a whole, the ways it fits (and does not fit) into the POTA milieu, and the sheer delights to be found in a marauding horde of apes, humans and aliens!
