The Hero Initiative\u2019s Marvel Apes #1 variant is limited to only 3000 copies worldwide and available NOW at www.AtomicComics.com . Retail price is $8, and the book will also be available at the Hero Initiative booth at the Baltimore Comic-Con (Sep. 27-28), Mid-Ohio Con (Oct. 4-5),<!--more-->\u00a0Adventure Con (Oct. 25-26) and Wizard World Texas (Nov. 7-9).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marvel Apes writer and cover inker Karl Kesel said, \u201cIt was a blast working on Marvel Apes \u2014one of the most far-out, fun assignments I&rsquo;ve ever had! And inking Mike Wieringo&rsquo;s \u2018Daregorilla\u2019 variant cover only made it better. This drawing is one of the initial inspirations for the entire mini-series\u2014chances are the comic would have never happened without it\u2014so this cover brings everything full circle. And it&rsquo;s only fitting that it helps The Hero Initiative, because Mike was a big believer in giving back to the comics community, and that&rsquo;s exactly what The Hero Initiative is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As with Marvel Zombies before it, Marvel Apes is a limited series that takes place in an alternate universe, in this case, one populated with simian versions of popular Marvel Super Heroes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Hero Initiative is the first-ever federally chartered not-for-profit corporation dedicated strictly to helping comic book creators in need. Hero creates a financial safety net for yesterdays&rsquo; creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. It&rsquo;s a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
