My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

C’mon, people. Clearly the ape most worthy of #100 has to be Titano. (Do any of these other apes have Kryptonite vision? No? Well, there you have it. Can’t argue with that, can you?)

I think this column is slowly becoming “here is my pitch for bringing this character back”.

Mallah, Detective Chimp and Ape-X are the only ones left? Has the world gone mad?!

The Ultra-Humanite! I realize he wasn’t originally an ape, but he usually is one! And he’s the greatest albino gorilla ever!

I used that cover to win a contest that Scott Shaw! created on his Oddball Comics column, when it was appearing on CBR.

I love this book! Not only does it have Animal Man, but its just a fun cover overall!

Thanks for posting this up.

Did King Kong get his own comic?

Then how about Kingorilla?
(er… that should be Congorilla, but I was riffing on the Kong)

Bill…if you run out of apes before 4/30, there’s always the All Purpose Espionage Squad from [i]Young Justice[/i]. That counts under “Ape-ril,” yes?

merge, fiddlesticks. i demand a full-on gang war between the mod gorilla boss and the gorilla boss of gotham city.

to the tune of “it’s hard out here for a chimp.”

Hey forgot to mention this, greatest Gorilla in comics is a hard question, but if one thinks back to the best DC sales plot ever, its clearly the JL-Ape.

Um, been a while since I took a primate class, but a man that turned into a gorilla would be an ape. Gorilla = ape, human = ape. (no tail)

The villain apes should band together into A.P.E.:
Anthropoids Promoting Evil.
Roster: Gorilla Grood, Monsieur Mallah, Mod Gorilla Boss, Titano, etc.

There’s only one simian sensation deserving of the 100 spot, and his name is Rex Mantooth, Kung-Fu Gorilla.

I’m going to have to say Mallah too. You already did Grodd and Gorilla Man. The Best remaining ones are Mallah, Detective Chimp, and Ape-X (from Squadron Supreme).

For the 100th edition, how about Monsieur Mallah? Intelligent gorilla, wears an ammo belt, speaks with a French accent…and then it turns out that he’s gay. For the guy who made him smart. And the guy is a brain in a jar.

A Mod in a zoot suit? Pshaw! Much less believable than the human-turned-gorilla angle. But entirely consistent with 1960s DC’s habit of confusing youth movements (as, for example, in Bob Haney’s 1950s Beatnik-speak in the mouths of ’60s teenagers).

Is that suit off the rack or is it tailored?
