A Sense of Doubt blog post #2822 - Marvel Goes Ape!!
I love this!!!
I know it's not comic book Sunday, but then, I can post about comics whenever I want.

Legendary artist and former DC Comics editorial director and publisher Carmine Infantino, according to an apocryphal story, kept a list of seven things guaranteed to sell a comic if they appeared on its cover. At the top of that list was “Gorillas,” and many historians have noted the preponderance of DC Comics covers featuring gorillas and gorilla-themed stories that likely came about as a result of Infantino’s policy. Now Marvel has decided to adopt a similar philosophy, this time expanding their focus from just gorillas to the entire ape family, as today the publisher announced a series of Planet of the Apes-themed variant covers will adorn dozens over their titles in February.
The Planet of the Apes Marvel variants coincide with the House of Ideas having picked up the license to publish new PotA comics beginning in 2023. While no details on those new stories have yet been announced, Marvel appears to be following the same playbook they used in bringing both Aliens and Predator to their lineup, having already announced a new omnibus of classic PotA comics and now the forthcoming series of variant covers.
The full list of titles receiving Planet of the Apes variant covers is below, as well as the available cover art that accompanied the announcement. There’s no word yet on whether Marvel will be adopting any of Carmine Infantino’s other sure-fire cover features (though hey, the Ghost Rider variant has a motorcycle on it, too), but surely “Purple Background” and “The Hero Crying” Variant cover series are just around the corner.

- Days ago = 2686 days ago
- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
