I like what Marvel does with these teasers, but I don’t think a monkey with a gun is going to be considered one of the most exciting new comic charters of the century.
Now watch me get proven wrong on Monday…

Is that the Mandrill?
what is that? I’ve got to admit that I’m getting a little bit excited :-)
Dont they have the coloring?
Admit it – while it might not be the greatest character of the century, it’s pretty awesome.
So Chris’ evil monkey gets it’s own comic book now?
It’s a baboon assassin. I sense a John Woo styled live-action CGI comic book film in the future…….
Well, it’s a monkey drawn by Frank Cho, so that’s a big plus. He’s wearing a suit and carrying a couple of guns, another plus.
Cho’s blog at apesandbabes.com has a tag ‘Hitman Monkey’ and currently tags an image of a chimp holding Dr. Doom’s mask.

I’d read something called ‘Hitman Monkey’…
It’s the new Punisher. Don’t mess with his bananas.
I’m seeing a Deadpool tie-in, somehow….. What? Isn’t he the new Wolverine?
HITMAN MONKEY! HITMAN MONKEY!
