Gorilla Grodd’s recent incarcer-ape-tion in the pages of DC’s The Flash comic book series has left a void that Monsieur Mallah is more than happy to fill.

Enter the all-ape JUNGLE L(ee-ee)gue. Can this team of hero-eek anthropoids be the salv-ape-tion we need, or will Mallah’s team of maniacal monkeys bring forth the ape-pocalypse?

>Who's the one in the clown costume?
I guest is the monkey that is always with the joker, check that villain of the year issue.
It’s Jackanapes, ffs Cinemaphile
>an ape named Ape
Yeah, from Angel and the Ape.
He's actually called Sam Simeon but whatever.
Ah, so that's who that was. I thought it was The Gorilla crime Boss Of Gotham gone straight.
And the grandson of Gorilla Grodd.
Depends on the version they go with, the New 52 made him an ARGUS agent that became a gorilla.
I honestly don't like the idea of tying him with Grodd, but I also don't like him originally being a human.
>No Gorilla Boss
Why is he always excluded outside of Batman the Brave and the Bold?
>sherman cover
Sounds dumb, no one will read this,
I might read this.
But will you buy it?
>not going back to monkee
Ngmi
It will sell a gorillion copies
Marvel Apes happened because some random person in a crowd wanted it
DC is really desperate.
First a Dinosaurs Justice League. Now a Monkey Justice League.
What’s next? Monster Truck Justice League? Magical Girl Justice League? Luchadore JL?
oh sweet child you must be new here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLApe:_Gorilla_Warfare!
DC is well known for using monkeys, apes and gorillas since 1950s
>Monster Truck Justice League? Magical Girl Justice League? Luchadore JL?
Hopefully, these all sound like kino.
This story is getting a reprint next year.

Apes alive! When Solovar, leader of Gorilla City, is apparently assassinated by pro-human extremists, Gorilla City’s new government declares war on humanity. Part of their plot involves turning the JLA into human-hating gorillas to help carry out their bidding.
Now it’s up to Batman (the only member who wasn’t transformed, of course) and Martian Manhunter to find a cure for their banana-loving buddies and prevent all-out gorilla warfare from encompassing every civilization from Atlantis to Themyscira.
JLApe: The Complete Collection reprints the entire crossover from Legends of the DC Universe #19, JLA Annual #3, Batman Annual #23, Aquaman Annual #5, Wonder Woman Annual #8, The Flash Annual #12, Superman Annual #11, Green Lantern Annual #8, and Martian Manhunter Annual #2.
>Monster Truck Justice League? Magical Girl Justice League? Luchadore JL?
those all sound based and this ape comic looks based
why do you have a stick up your ass about elseworlds / alt universe teams? its just comics bro
>why do you have a stick up your ass about elseworlds / alt universe teams?
You make a good point, but this is the main DC earth I think. The solicited info makes reference to Grodd being arrested in Flash.
I liked the dinosaur justice league
the giant mech justice league was okay
Are we really at the point where DC believes slapping a monkey on the cover will sell books again?
It worked back in 1999
JLAPE IS BACK, BABY!
Call me when Jurassic League gets a 2nd volume.
Kinda disappointed they didn't slip in Magilla Gorilla and Space Ghosts little monkey in the background
They should use Magilla Gorilla in this event. He had that crossover with Nightwing in the Looney Toons event.
thats a funny cover
Any chance of Mod Gorilla Boss ?
I'm hoping to see Space Ape and Congorilla.
ok
