    Someone at marvel really seems to love monkeys.

  2. aka Wade_Wilson’s pick of the week. :)

    I’m curious to try this out, if my LCS gets it. Sadly it is a bit too early, or Deadpool is too late, cause the solict sounds like it was suppose to come after #19 this month. Oh well that’s not gonna bog me down: It’s a monkey as a hitman! What more do you want!?

  3. MattB MattB says:

    Only because of the name and the cover am i getting this lol

  4. MrPopular MrPopular says:

    If my LCS has it i’ll get it.   Sounds hilarious.  but i’ve still been very on the fence with Mr. Dway.

    Excuse me? 

  6. zenman zenman says:

    I’m staying far, far away from this one.

  7. SplifEOC SplifEOC says:

    huh? Say what Hit Monkey? yeah yeah sign me up… but forget about that Doctor Voodoo title.

  8. MacAoidh MacAoidh says:

    You’d wonder if it was inspired by the semi-popular internet meme. ;)

  9. Fvckstick Fvckstick says:

    yeah…picked it up and just couldnt bring myself to do it.

  10. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    This was a lot of fun

  11. WadeWilson WadeWilson says:

    If this comic had a vagina, I would marry it.

  12. NathanNicdao NathanNicdao says:

    I’m awfully interested. Worth it?

  13. This was executed beautifully. I feel bad about all the negative things I have said about Way’s writing for the past few years, as he’s proven to be a brilliant comedy writer. I highly suggest this.

  14. Good fun read, and not as ridiculous as it sounds.

  15. Fantastic issue and my POTW.

    Just hilarious to read on how serious this was. @comicbookchris is right; Way is brilliant at comedic writing. Maybe he isn’t so hot on action or ‘serious’ comic books. But time and time again he shows how fantastic he is as a comedic writer. I just love how quick the monkey was able to learn kung-fu and guns. How can he hold a gun with no thumbs? Also, Dalibor Talajic is an amazing artist. One of the best new artists in my opinion.

  16. WadeWilson WadeWilson says:

    So many great lines & panels.

    The panel where the monkeys look at Hit-Monkey with shame, one holding his bloody mouth. Their eyes huge with shock & disappointment.

    The very last panel. Hit-Monkey dragging a bag filled with guns through the snow.

    Comedy gold. 

     

  17. My lcs guy summed it up well. Kind of like 300 but with a monkey and guns

  18. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    @wade – The panel where Hit-Monkey doesn’t even have to look at the mutha fuckaz as he blast them in the face? Awesome. Nobody duel wields like Hit-Monkey! Nobody!

  19. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    I am ashamed to admit how much I enjoyed this issue. It was pretty good. I could have read a full three-issue mini! Great art, great writing, fantastically hysterical! 4/5 for me.

  20. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    @Prax-Everyone loves monkeys, ain’t nothing to be ashamed about.

  21. Noto Noto says:

    @TNC Monkeys have thumbs.

    I didn’t feel this book at all. But I’m glad others seem to have dug it.
