Marvel's cult-favorite animal sidekick Jeff the Landshark's digital-first comic It's Jeff is coming to print this March in a special one-shot that collects all the It's Jeff comic strips released on the Marvel Unlimited app so far🌜.

Created by Kelly Thompson in 2018, Jeff the Land Shark has become a fan-favorite c🧜haracter who now has his own series where he gets into all kinds of mishaps. Written by Thompson and drawn by art team Gurihiru, who also provide a brand new cover for the one-shot, It's Jeff is a comedy comic strip with no dialogue, which makes sense since its protagonist can't speak.

Comics have long featured super-powered pets and other bizarre creatures – such as Captain Marvel's pet Flerken, known in the comics as Chewie and known as Goos💫e in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Note that on the Jeff variant for Captain Marve🌳l #42, Chewie carries Jeff in its Flerken tentacles while Carol flies Chewie over city streets.

, the mini-megalodon has been chewing at the fringes of the Marvelﷺ Universe and has become the low-key scene-stealer in series such as Deadpool and Gwenpool Strikes Back.

It's Jeff #1 goes on sale March 29.

Someday, Jeff the Land Shark may be considered one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best superhero sidekicks of all time.
