''Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern'' is a 2017 {{Crossover}} comic between ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' and ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'', published by Creator/DCComics and Creator/BoomStudios and specifically taking place after the events of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'' while using some characters and elements from ''Film/BeneathThePlanetOfTheApes''. The 6-issue miniseries was written by Justin Jordan as well as Robbie Thompson and illustrated by Barnaby Bagenda.

Hal Jordan follows Sinestro into the ''Planet of the Apes'' universe after learning that the latter had killed a Lantern from each of the seven Lantern Corps of the emotional spectrum to empower an ancient artifact dumped into the alternate reality known as the Universal Ring.

After Hal and Sinestro crash-land in Ape City, trouble arises when Cornelius finds the Universal Ring and subsequently puts it on.

Compare with ''ComicBook/StarTrekGreenLantern'', another comic crossover between Green Lantern and an iconic sci-fi franchise.

!!This series contains the following tropes.
----
* AdaptedOut: The only human members of the Green Lantern Corps shown are Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner, with no acknowledgement made whatsoever of John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz or Jessica Cruz.
* AllYourPowersCombined: The Universal Ring combines the powers of all seven Lantern Corps.
* CrossoverPowerAcquisition: The whole mess starts when Cornelius obtains an experimental power ring called the Universal Ring.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** The miniseries starts with Sinestro killing Fatality, Arkillo, Larfleeze, G'Nort, Munk, St. Walker and Bleez in a ritual sacrifice.
** Atrocitus ends up getting torn in two by Lucius and Nova.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Zira succumbed to mortal injuries in ''Film/EscapeFromThePlanetOfTheApes'', while here she takes her own life to free herself from the Universal Ring's hold.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Cornelius tries to sacrifice himself to remove the power of the Universal Ring from his world, but finds in the end that he's survived.]]
* SequelHook: The miniseries concludes with General Ursus and Dr. Zaius conspiring with a very much alive Gorilla Grodd, while [[spoiler:Cornelius turns out to have survived his sacrifice and finds himself in another universe inhabited by humans.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Cornelius becomes rather unhinged upon donning the Universal Ring.
