Hit-Monkey by Daniel Way: Bullets & Bananas #[nn]

Marvel's sharply dressed primate assassin stares down the reader from this 2019 trade paperback collecting Daniel Way's Hit-Monkey run — sunglasses on, pistol raised, playing cards and target-emblazoned shuriken swirling dramatically around him. Dave Johnson's cover work captures the character's darkly absurd appeal with real craft, rendering the suited, white-furred monkey with a gritty intensity that somehow walks the line between menacing and genuinely fun. Bullets & Bananas is a great entry point into one of Marvel's most unexpectedly compelling concepts.
