Marvel Apes #[nn]

What if Earth's mightiest heroes were also its most magnificent primates? This 2009 Marvel collection brings together the simian-twisted universe of Marvel Apes, and John Watson's cover delivers the premise with gleeful conviction — a barrel-chested gorilla Captain America anchors the foreground, shield raised, while ape versions of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine, and the Wasp surge behind him against a crackling lightning-filled sky. Watson's painted artwork gives the whole absurd concept a surprisingly epic weight, making this one of the more memorably strange corners of the Marvel multiverse.
