* GentleGorilla: While no pushover in the slightest, Aleron largely averts the standard portrayal of gorillas in the classic films. While as a general, he had no interest in causing needless bloodshed and he gets along with non-gorillas such as Cato the orangutan and Prisca the chimpanzee.

[[caption-width-right:658:There's something rotten in the Planet of the Apes...]]
''Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes'' is Creator/BoomStudios four-issues series published in 2011, written by Corrina Bechko and Gabriel Hardman, with Hardman also providing art duties.
Set two decades before the [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 man called Taylor would come from the stars]], the story follows an ensemble cast led by the former general, the gorilla Aleron, as he uncovers a vast political conspiracy in Ape City where it seems the most sacred rule, "Ape shall not kill Ape" has been broken.
All the while the young councilor, Dr. Zaius, finds himself navigating the growing pro-human sentiment within the Ape community and learning of political upsets that threaten to shake Ape society to it's core.
This would be the first in a trilogy by Hardman and Bechko, followed by ''Exile on the Planet of the Apes'' and ''Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm''.
!!This works contains examples of;
* DeadlyEnvironmentPrison: The Apes have "The Reef", an Alcatraz-like prison only accessible by boat where Apes who have gone insane, killed another ape, or are politically inconvenient are sent to.
* EyepatchOfPower: Aleron, a former general and war hero, wears one.
* {{Expy}}: Aleron can be seen as one for Attar, Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan's character from the [[Film/PlanetOfTheApes2001 Tim Burton remake]].
* GovernmentConspiracy: Tenebris
* {{Prequel}}: The main story takes place 20 years before the first film, along with flashbacks set 15 years before the story's present.
* StartOfDarkness: For Dr. Zaius. He starts out as a well-meaning new member of the city council but by the end is [[spoiler: informed by Tenebris of the true history of Apes and Humans, and becomes a participant in the government conspiracy]].
