Brahm Revel started a wonderful series about primates thrown into war a couple of years ago.  The series was a little edgy, a little weird, and very well illustrated.  Everything this comic aspires to be.

Instead, Hit Monkey is an odd little origin story by Mr. Daniel “Deadpoolverine” Way.  On its own it’s a bit of fun.  And the cover does say it’s a one shot.  And, if that’s the case, props to Mr. Way for this tiny little fluff story about an assassin protected by a tribe of monkeys, and the one monkey who is destined to take his place.

Honestly, I don’t want to see Hit Monkey showing up in another comic.  Especially a Deadpool comic.  (Do you hear me, Way?  If this character worms its way into the Marvel Universe continuity I will never forgive you.)  It’s a dumb little character that should stay a dumb little character, and never be used again.

Story: 3 - Good
Art: 4 - Very Good

    Uh……no offense, but you should read the solict for this…..This is technically the ‘second’ appearence of Hitman Monkey.

    The first being sometime in the future cause Deadpool #19 was late this month.

    Uggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh.  That is AWFUL news.

    I don’t read the solicits because I like each comic and each issue to be a surprise.  But I am not looking forward to Hit Monkey being an ongoing character in Deadpool.

    @akamuu: I think he’s just the villain for the current arc. Which is about 2-3 issues…..so I wouldn’t worry. Then again if the Deadpool Corps will pass at Marvel, then who knows?

    @vadamowens: No.  It was ok, but not ok enough to warrant buying.  Skip it.
