Marvel Apes are coming"Haven't you always wanted a monkey?"
It's funny how some people have been so quick to put this down before even seeing a single panel. Is it the best idea? No. Does it really make sense? Not really. Am I going to enjoy this? Probably.
Everyone loves monkeys. Look at how successful the Planet of the Apes films were. I loved those as a kid. Marvel superheroes as apes? That's all I need to hear.
For those that think this is just too absurd, just relax. Take it for what it is. Don't be so uptight.
