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

Posted in Reviews by Undead Knight on May 8th, 2008

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.

The Square:

It could get old fast. Very fast. Faster than a Falcon Punch would solve a teen Pregnancy. There is only so many monkey puns I can take.

Ah who am I kidding, I could probably go a full length series of monkey puns. Monkeys rule!

Conclusion:

Pure… Undiluted… Fecal Matter Flinging… Awesome.

4/5 (But only because I have to leave room for error.)

*Hey Remotehog, my article is more TV related than your article. AND YOU’RE THE TV REVIEWER. Damn dream article. BTW, if your reading this, don’t go read Remotehog’s dream article, it’s a crime against the internet.
