So this is it the final issue. The Humans are brawling at Abe's fortress.

After much carnage the fight is over. The Humans have won,but suffered many losses.

And we find out that a sequel will be coming out with some of The Humans in jail.

I had heard this series was good.But wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Fuck it! It was better than good it was FUCKING GREAT!!.

Now I need to see if Image was smart and put the entire run out in on trade or hardcover.

Johnny leads the gang to Abe's fortress. And we get piles of carnage. All of it well rendered,

Since this is the next to last issue I was expecting lots of deaths. And surprisingly I didn't get as many as I figured.

Then there is the final image. Johnny on his bike reminding the traitor what happens when you break The Humans code.

And another issue that totally blows the previous one out of the water.

Johnny wants revenge on the Skabb that stabbed his brother in the back. So the Humans head off to the bar the Skabbs hang at.

After challenging the Skabbs to a fight,which they want to postpone till later,the Humans say fuck it and trash the bikes and them Johnny tosses a grenade into the bar.

We got 3 survivors. The leader of the Skabbs,a female member and the  backstabber. And once again the comic hits that S Clay Wilson type of comic book excessive violence.

Holy shit!!!

I figured with a big brawl set to happen at Kirbys this issue would be an action packed piece of simian sequential art. And I was right. But it was much much more.

The Humans have a traitor in their  gang.Who is working with Abe to take them down. It is all set up to take place at Kirbys.

Johnny has met back up with Peg and headed back to her room. He has a mild flashback and they end up in the bed.

While at the same time the Skabbs,who last appeared IIRC in issue 1,get ready to attack Kirbys.

So we get really hardcore images of violence,the stuff at Kirbys,mixed with underground comix levels of sex,the stuff with Johnny and Peg.

By the end the fight is over. There is many deaths. And Johnny makes it there in time to see his brother being zipped up in a bodybag.

And now the action has rampped up. The Humans are escorting a drug run into LA. All looks good for a decent amount of time. Then another gang attacks.

Which gives us 8 or so pages of just carnage. All beautifully drawn,inked and colored.

The issue ends with Johnny heading off to find his old girlfriend. Who is now supposedly strung out stripper.

So it is the morning after the big party. Johnny wakes up and starts having Nam flashbacks.

And most of the issue is us getting to see part of what he went thru over in the war.

The rest is detailing how one of the gang members is creating a new hybrid of acid and speed.

The detail in the art this time is so damn good. I am kind of surprised at how much detail is packed into most of the pages.

I had heard about this series last year. And it sounded interesting. It is about a biker gang made up of primates. Who are called the Humans.

This first issue is pretty much a set up/world building issue. We see that a member of the gang has died and the rest of the members are on their way to bury him.

Then a rival gang shows up and we get a few pages of fights. Which has great art. I loved the one Human's member that looks like Jughead from Archie.

To wrap it up we go back to the Human's hang out. And find out a long thought dead member is on his way back.
