DC has revealed a wild new team comic set to debut next year — the Jungle League-focused Ape-ril Special.
The Ape-ril Special, which is set to release on March 19, will feature stories by John Layman, Joshua Hale Fialkov, and Gene Yang as well as art by Karl Mostert, Phil Hester, and Bernard Chang. It follows the “all-ape” Jungle League as they battle Monsieur Mallah’s Legion of Doom, who seek nothing less than world domination.
“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,” reads the story’s description. “Ape-sembling a group of the DCU’s most sinister simians, Mallah forms the Legion of D(oo-oo-ah-ah)m, with an eye toward world domin-ape-tion. But the world won’t be conquered that easily! 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?”
The Ape-ril Special has two variant covers
Alongside the main cover done by Dan Mora, two variant covers for Ape-ril Special #1 have been revealed — one by Hayden Sherman and the other by Bernard Chang. DC’s news post even says that Sherman’s cover will have a “Banana Scent.”
