The Avengers have saved the day from countless threats, gone on cosmic adventures, and even traveled the multiverse throughout their many iterations on the page and screen. Now, their furry superfriends will get the chance to shine with a new digital, vertical-scrolling Infinity Comic series on the Marvel Unlimited app. Announced last year atNew York Comic Con,Infinity Pawswill bring four fan-favorite animals—Jeff the Land Shark, Chewie,Alligator Loki, andLucky the Pizza Dog—together fora ten-issue crossover story that puts them in the limelight over the typical superheroes. Ahead of the comic’s debut on April 5, Collider can share an exclusive look at a set of pages that show off the cute and colorful art style.
Each page pops with color as it shows Jeff’s journey to save New York fromRonan the Accuser. Issue #1 of the comic sees the Kree warlord lay waste to the city and put the Avengers on the back foot with the power of the Space Gem. This leaves the land shark to find a way to defeat him alongside a few cat companions who are along for the ride. Together, Jeff and the felines are shown scrambling for safety amid the fighting on Earth and venturing out into the wider universe in search of a solution. The scenespromise action and adorableness through the critters' cute expressions and heroic deedsfeatured in each issue.
Before joining forces forInfinity Paws, each of the furry, smooth, and/or scaly pals has carved out their own spot in Marvel history. First introduced inWest Coast AvengersVol. 3 #6, Jeff has his own comic series and has been under the care of a few prominent heroes, like Deadpool, Kate Bishop, and Elsa Bloodstone. He’s primarily been a helpful addition to the WCA along with his owner and friend Gwenpool, proving to be far more than just a pet to the good guys. While he has yet to appear on-screen in the MCU, his fellowInfinity Pawsfriends have all made the jump from the page in one way or another.
