It's O.K. To Hurt Gorillas When They're Nazis


Context: Hellboy has been captured by a Nazi scientist and has left Hellboy in the "care" of a cyborg Nazi ape. Nazi ape has been torturing Hellboy with electrical shocks when somebody switched off the supply. Nazi ape knows what's coming next...

Hellboy takes down a cyborg Nazi ape while mouthing off the sound effect himself. It's like that Onomotopeia guy in Kevin Smith's Batman story. Aw, go look him up yourself. Hellboy: Conqueror Worm, written and drawn by Mike Mignola is just all kinds of awesome!!

The Conqueror Worm trade is still widely available or you can just wait a while, save some cash and wait for the oversized hardcover 'Library' edition coming soon next year. The
Volume 1 is already out. So is Volume 2. Every discerning fan of comics needs to have these babies in their collection. After all, volume 3 will have Hellboy punching a Nazi Gorilla in huge, huge panels! Also, a guy named Lobster Johnson craps in his pants when he has to shoot a horde of the undead in a derelict Nazi castle.

A question all of us wish we could ask at least once in our lifetimes.

Batman Hates Apes



Especially albino apes. The SPCA be damned. Albino apes freak the hell out of Batman and when he sees one, he's gonna make sure that mother goes down.

Remember kids! Always destroy those who look, move, speak and behave differently from you.

Get Your Paws Off My Comics, You Damn Dirty Apes!



From Comic Book Resources.com: "Quesada explained that based on a fan's suggestion at a previous Cup O Joe, Marvel will go bananas this fall with MARVEL APES."

This might make me go back to collecting comics on a monthly basis again. Look, it's Iron-Ape, Captain Gorilla, Spider-Ape...although he has a tail so that makes him a
Spider-Monkey. What's not to like? If you don't like comics about simians then the terrorists have won. Why do you hate America?

Oh, lighten up. It's just a comic book. About apes.
