How does such a thing happen? Looking at the preview you can see there's a scientific reason we get to see all our heroes in simian form.
It's not quite on the level of Marvel Zombies. It does make more sense than Spider-Ham and his universe. Who would've thought that the Gibbon could actually be a likable lead character?
I will tune in to see what happens in the second issue. Things look like they're going smoothly but then there's a slight twist. There's also "The Official History of the Marvel Apes Universe, part 1."
Oh and as they mention in the solicit, Speedball is in this...
