I think I might draw the line at zombies...

"It's four issues of furry fury and feces-flingin' fun! It's all your favorite Marvel characters—as you've never seen them before! If you only buy one mini-series next October about intelligent, super-powered apes and monkeys – it must be MARVEL APES!"

 

[Mister J]

Goodness. I didn't particularly care for this when DC got all simian.


So, Batman and Superman ought to be on opposing sides of a Superhero Registration Act sometime around 2015. Cool.

 

[Spade]

Marvel Zombies was fun, but this feels like a gimmick. It'd have to be really funny to draw me in.

 

[Bubonic]

lol, oh well at least they aren't all gorilla's this time around

 

[Mister J]

Any zoologists out there?

Captain Gorilla
Iron Orangutan
Spider-Monkey
Spider-Chimpanzee
Mandrill
Power Baboon

My best guesses.

 

[Tony Ingram]

what is this weird fascination the comics industry has with apes? I've never understood it!

 

[Vartha]

They just remind me of Red Ghost's apes in costumes.

That's exactly what I thought of. It wasn't that great then and I doubt Marvel will do it any better. Pass.

Also, the art on that promo pic for Marvel Apes looks atrocious. At least DC got Art Adams to make monkeys out of their characters.

I don't see the difference in quality of art between the two pictures posted in this thread. Cept that Marvel's is shinier.

Not defending, I think this is a pretty big waste of trees.

I wanna read it!

Look at Captain Ape-merica's arms and tell me what sort of ape that's in proportion for.

IT'S A TUMAH!

One improvement of the Marvel Apes over the regular Marvel comics: Spider-Woman's breasts aren't bigger than her head for once.

 

[The Geek Vault]

what kind of ape is wolvie?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Looks like a mandrill or a baboon.

why is that an improvement?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because a little goes a long way.

 

[Darthphere]

Well this was all a fan idea wasn't it. Like a joke started at some con a couple of years ago.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, gee, what better basis for a story could there be?

 

[Darthphere]

The fans demanded it!

EXCELSIOR!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Fan: Heh, wouldn't it be dumb if they made all the Marvel characters, like, I dunno, apes or something?
Marvel: Marvel Apes! The fans demanded it!

 

[Darthphere]

I would laugh if that wasn't innaccurate.

 

[SuperFerret]

This is all a ploy for Joe Cheese to legitimately be able to say "Monkey is my business, and business is good." That's all this is. I understand, I think we've all been tempted to try and work that into our lives, but this is madness.

This will sell out at Diamond, all 3 copies.
