Comicbook Wednesday



Alright another team book, yes I know. But this is my blog and this book is fun.

Initally one may wonder... Who are the Pet Avengers.

Short answer: Awesome

Long Answer:

Lockjaw
- Telepathic alien dog, also team leader.
Throg (no link) - Thor-esque frog.
Lockheed - Dragon and companion of Kitty Pryde
Redwing (no link) - Falcon's companion. (sounded better than Falcon's falcon)
Zabu - Ally to Ka-Zar
Hairball - Speedball like powers
Ms. Lion - an apparent carton reference.

Premise: Mr. Fantastic is seeking the gems from the infinity gauntlet and after Lockjaw finds one of them he reads Mr. Fantastics mind and decides to take it upon himself to search out and find them. The first issue really sets up the team in various funny situations and it all plays out really well.

This book is fun. You don't read it for the enthralling story and deep characters. If you wanna have your main character say "woof" or be translated by a frog acting like Thor this is your book.

Its a short 4-issue miniseries that I would definitely recommend (in case posting it doesn't make that obvious).

Suss
