This was the first chapter of DC's very very silly "Gorilla Warfare" multi-part storyline. There's a thin line between silly and just plain stupid; I would say Art Adams' awesome cover is the former, the rest of the comic mostly the latter. I think the main problem (for me) was that the story was drawn (and colored, even) like any other DCU comic, when maybe someone with a lighter, sillier touch artistically might've been a more suitable choice.
There is a good scene where, after some of the JLA has been turned into apes, Green Lantern walks in and assumes its a test of "the new guy" so he tries his best not to say anything. More unusual is the two-page ad for Playstation's Ape Escape video game(between pages 34 and 35), which features real monkeys and looks like its part of the story.
