The first issue of Hit-Monkey hit Marvel Digital last week and I finally got around to checking it out.
First off, with the title I figured it would be a pretty humorous book, boy was I mistaken.
The first issue is serious, brutal, gory, and actually pretty good.
It read like a 70's Kung Fu Movie's story, which I'm assuming is point:
- Spoiler:
- Hit-Monkey learns Martial Arts by watching an assasin his tribe rescues practice , eventually his whole tribe of Monkeys gets killed off for helping the assasin and Hit-Monkey kills them all in retaliation then heads off in the world to find more of them as the "Killer of Killers".
There's allot more to it than that, but that gives you an idea of what you're going to find in the book. Not sure when the paper copy goes on sale, but I found it completely out of left field from what I expected and and unepectedly good.
