Jeff the Land Shark Gets Floppy in…

Few Marvel characters have captured hearts quite like Jeff the Landshark. This tiny, dog-like shark first surfaced as a quirky sidekick but has since evolved into a full-fledged fan favorite. His infectious charm, mischievous spirit, and undeniable cuteness have made him a staple in digital comics, and now, Jeff is finally making the leap to print.

This June, Marvel Comics releases Jeff’s first-ever physical comic series, helmed by his original creator, Kelly Thompson, with art by Tokitokoro. What started as a lighthearted side character in Gwenpool’s world has now become a leading force in Marvel’s comedy lineup.

From Digital Stardom to Print Adventure

Jeff’s journey to print is nothing short of remarkable. He first gained traction through Marvel’s digital-first Infinity Comics, where his solo series, It’s Jeff!, racked up millions of reads. His Eisner Award-winning adventures proved that even a landshark could steal the spotlight.

Originally introduced as a background gag, Jeff quickly won over fans—and heroes alike. Deadpool, Kate Bishop, and even the Avengers have all shared the page with him, further solidifying his place in the Marvel Universe.

Reflecting on Jeff’s evolution, Kelly Thompson describes the phenomenon as wild yet completely deserved. “What’s not to love about an adorable landshark?” she muses. The sheer enthusiasm for Jeff has turned him into one of Marvel’s most beloved comedic characters.

Now, Marvel is giving Jeff his own five-issue limited series, bringing more depth, more chaos, and even bigger laughs.

A Shadowy New Nemesis Enters the Scene

This isn’t just another cute adventure—Jeff’s newest challenge will test him like never before. A mystical mishap in the Sanctum Sanctorum gives birth to something entirely unexpected: Shadow Jeff, a rogue version of Jeff with a mischievous streak and a thirst for trouble.

Now, the lovable landshark must chase down his shadowy double before he wreaks havoc across the Marvel Universe. The journey takes him from The Savage Land to Madripoor, where new allies, old foes, and plenty of surprises await.

Thompson hints that this new series will push Jeff into more intricate storytelling. While It’s Jeff! excelled in short, playful vignettes, this series expands the scope of what a landshark’s adventure can truly be. Expect bigger laughs, bigger action, and more heart than ever before.

Jeff’s Biggest Adventure Begins June 4
