I’m still not sure about this series, but I would have said the same thing about Marvel Zombies originally. I’ll give it a try and see what it’s like. Monkey are fun and the variant covers for other Marvel titles have been great. I’ll be creating an image gallery for those very soon.

Get ready to see all your favorite Marvel Characters – as you’ve never seen them before! You’ve seen the Zombieverse, now plan to go bananas for the Ape-verse in Marvel Apes #1! Welcome to the jungle as talented star-writer, Karl Kesel (Fantastic Four), introduces readers to a world where apes–in–capes run amok and humans are scarce! But just what is the terrifying secret behind this universe? And how does it relate to the Marvel Universe? Join the loveable loser, Martin Blank aka Gibbon, and the spunky villain, Dr. Fiona Fitzhugh, as they are transported to the United Simians of America! With stunning interiors from red-hot artist, Ramon Bachs (World War Hulk: Front Line, Civil War: Front Line), meet the incredible primate super-heroes and villains, such as: Spider-Monkey! Doc Ook! Iron Mandril! The Simian Torch! Iron Paw! The Ape-vengers! And many more ape-tastic characters! Plus, this issue contains no ads, as Marvel is thrilled to present exciting backup tales exploring the Ape-verse in this extra sized issue!

Something has gone awry for the Ape-verse and it is up to the chimp-like mutant, Gibbon, to save the day – if he can survive this strange new world! Prepare to run wild and for all the guerilla warfare you can handle this not-to-miss first issue, Marvel Apes #1!
