Marvel Apes is an upcoming four-issue limited series, scheduled to be released in October 2008 by comics publisher Marvel Comics.^[1] The series will be written by Karl Kesel with art by Ramon Bachs and covers by John Watson.

Marvel Apes was first suggested as a successor to Marvel Zombies by a fan during a convention Q&A session with Joe Quesada.^[2] As with Marvel Zombies before it, Marvel Apes takes place in an alternate universe, in this case one populated with simian versions of popular Marvel Superheroes.

As with the introduction of Marvel Zombies in the pages of Ultimate Fantastic Four, the Marvel Apes universe will be visited by an existing Marvel character, in this case Martin Blank aka Gibbon.^[3] He will be accompanied by a female scientist named Fiona Fitzhugh in what has been described by Kesel as a "Lord of the Rings style sprawling epic".
