Marvel’s gone Ape (and Chimp, and Gibbon, and Gorilla…)

Craziest… Idea… EVER…

Marvel Comic has just announced that in October this year, they will be releasing “MARVEL APES”. A mini-series in which all your favorite marvel heroes; including so far: Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Luke Cage and Wolverine; are… wait for it…

MONKEYS

Yes, that’s right. You will get to witness a Gorilla in a Captain America outfit, more banana jokes than you can handle and; as has been severely implied by the series’ writer, Karl Kesel; your favorite comic book characters flinging their own feces. Quite honestly, what more could you want?

The Hip:

THEY’RE FREAKING MONKEYS!!!!! I mean, what could be cooler. Honestly, until they come out with Marvel Ninjas/Pirates, this is the coolest thing they’re going to do for a while. Also, it features Gibbon, Marvel biggest loser. The WORST villain of all time. Marvel has officially stated that he is the Biggest Loser in their comics. And he’s not on a diet*. Notorious for having nothing go right for him (as in, born a mutant, has had two additional forced mutations, been poisoned and burnt AND MORE), he must now save a universe filled with monkeys. Yes, that’s right, FILLED WITH MONKEYS. And it’s also filled with monkey puns. My favorite one they’ve shown us so far is Spiderman now being Spider-Monkey. (more…)
