Lockjaw & the Pet Avengers #02 - out of the frying pan...

[perletwo.insanejournal.com]

It was pointed out in an earlier thread (the Guardians of the Galaxy preview pages?) that the new issue of Lockjaw & the Pet Avengers hasn't gotten any love here yet. I got the ish today, and am here with 4 scans to remedy that sad, sad situation.

As you may recall from #1, Lockjaw was alerted to the menace of the Infinity Gems, found the Mind Gem, and recruited Throg the Frog of Thunder, Lockheed the Dragon, Redwing the Falcon, and Hairball and his sidekick Ms. Lion to help retrieve the remaining 5. From there they went to the Savage Land and quickly picked up the Time Gem and a new member.

They use the Time Gem to take them to find a third gem lost in the Savage Land...

Yeah. Niels' first time in the Savage Land, obviously.






Lockjaw's plan works (no thanks to Ms. Lion) and they teleport away at a scamper. BUT. um. Remember those old Wile E Coyote cliffhangers? Witness the last page:



No matter what happens, that's gonna make for some mega-unhappy felinoids, I bet.

That frog is dressed as thor. *mindsplode*

Is Ms. Lions from the old Spiderwoman cartoon ???

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

thankfully, a pet masters of evil hasn't shown up.

... not like there's much material for that, anyway.

FACT: Ms. Lion says his owner's nephew is Spider-Man. Ergo, Ms. Lion knows Spider-Man's secret identity.
FACT: Mephisto altered reality so that no one, not Osbourne, not the Black Cat, not Venom, knew Spider-Man's ID.
I submit that Ms. Lion is, in fact, a cosmic force of greater potency than the Prince of Lies.

Meh. I'm boycotting this until they have Tippy Toe in the team. Or Old Lace, at least.

I always thought Lockheed spoke in rhyme like Etrigan. I could have sworn that was his Excalibur based speech patterns.

Hmmm... the ocean. Did Namor or his family have any pets we don't know about? Kinda like Toppo, Aquaman's octopus?

Comics like this renews my faith in Marvel.
So much fun, and Lockheed!

OK, I know who Lockjaw is, I know Lockheed, Throg and Redwing, I know Zabu, I know Ms. Lion - but who's the kitty cat? Hairball? Who is this Hairball?
And once this mini is finished (it IS a miniseries, right?), Throg should definitely be introduced into mainstream, non-pet-related Marvel. He should be Thor's sidekick or something.

Ah Throg!

Does anyone else want to see a Redwall-esque adventure starring Throg?

This mini is perfect except for one thing....It needs COSMO RUSSIAN SPACE-DOG!
