Strap on your collar and hop on-board the adventures of LOCKJAW, LOCKHEED, REDWING, HAIRBALL, and an all-new FROG THOR!

This looks like it'll be all kinds of awesome. I'm loving that cover art by Kerschl too.

I am so jazzed for this book. That cover has been my Desktop background for a couple of months.

I love the variant cover for this! Frog Thor! I recommend checking out the preview for this if you are unsure about it. As soon as it showed Frog Thor, I knew I would love this.
FROG THOR!!!

Hairball? In New Warriors, they called the kitty 'Nills.'

I didn't like Fin Fang Foom last week, but I'm hopeful this will be fun.

Only 113 pulls so far? Wow, people have hearts like lumps of frozen coal. It's Frog Thor for god's sake!

Much like the Tawky Tawny scene in Final Crisis, if someone doesn't find the concept of the Pet Avengers to be awesome comic book fun, then I don't think we would get along well in real life.
The idea of this book is fantastic, I'm pretty confident that Eliopolis can deliver. His Franklin Richards stories are always entertaining.

To best of my knowledge Redwing is Falcon's falcon, Hairball is Speedball's cat, Lockjaw is Crystal's dog (of the In-humans), Lockheed is Kitty Pryde's dragon, and, well the Thor Frog, is a devolved Norse God of Thunder. Curse you, Loki

@PymSlap-No no no...Lockejaw is Black Bolt's dog :)

This was fucking awesome. Throg rocks. I'm on board for this whole mini

I love lockejaw but I really don't like his mustache. I like how Jae Lee just drew him as a gigantic bulldog sans mustache. Even in previous comics where he does have a mustache it doesn't stand out as much as it did in this book. There were a couple panels where it looked really bad

I just noticed that Throg's human name was Simon Walterson...
Thats cool.

You know how I know it's a slow week? I'm a DC guy and I'm considering this.
