Marvel to introduce new character on Monday?

Marvel plans to introduce this monkey with guns, apparently drawn by Frank Cho, at Marvel.com on Monday.  In the announcement, Marvel asks, “Who is One of the Most Exciting New Characters of the Century?”  Since this was the art included, I guess they think it’s this guy.  Now, I don’t know if this works like “collector’s item first issue!” where if you have to TELL people it’s a collector’s item, then it’s probably not.  In any case, if you like Frank Cho or monkeys in a suit and tie, you may want to tune to Marvel.com on Monday and find out who this fella is.

Update: The character is named Hitman Monkey.  He’ll debut in a digital title this December and first appear in print in February’s “Deadpool” No. 20.
