And yet more titles to make furry fans stand up and take notice. Hitman Monkey is a new full-color comic book series from Marvel, created by Daniel Way and Dalibor Talijic. Issue #1 also features a kick-ass cover by Frank Cho (of Liberty Meadows fame. See below). Yes, the hero is a Japanese macaque who happens to be a hitman. It seems that folks at Marvel Comics have been following some Internet photo-memes… Series executive editor Alex Alonso describes Hitman as a “soulful, tortured, jazz-loving, 30-pound engine of destruction.” This new series introduces the character, who then gets to go bananas (sorry ^^ ) in an issue of Deadpool that also features Spiderman. Interestingly, in the same month there’s an issue of Deadpool Team-Up where the “Merc with a Mouth” battles an army of gun-toting giant raccoons! What’s going on here??
