User blog comment:Psypher/Young Justice Issue 19/@comment-1038387-20120830212457

Congorilla used to be the partner of Congo Bill, one of those stock jungle adventurers from the Golden Age. Then Bill got the power to transplant his mind into the gorilla temporarily, and then all the time.

He hasn't been featured much since the Golden Age, at first only in the obscure characters fest called Animal Man, and after Cry for Justice, he joined the Justice League. Served with them for most of Brightest Day.
 * I loved the emotions on the gorilla's, though I'm not quite sure if they smile like that. Blame it on the Kobra-Venom.
 * It's not as much "lots of new characters", it's lots of "new names not linked directly to faces" . We can only conjecturally guess Djuba was the red adult and Nzame the white baby. And the names come from everywhere. One issue "City" gorilla's from Flash, Starman/Congorilla, Wonder Woman; bigger characters like Sam Simeon (a retconned Citizen), JLApe's Ulgo, Primat from Trinity's Dreambound, and Nnamdi. B'Wana Beast's Pal, Djuba is a bit of an odd-one-out.
 * It's definitely an improvement over the last issue, though I'm not sure what to think of the coda.
 * As with the last issue he did, Vecchio's work is on par with Jones.
