So, if you checked out the CBR preview of this ish linked to awhile back, you know what the dragons are really up to: It's time for their eggs to hatch, and they need to swallow the eggs to carry them up into space so they can be properly born. If the Avengers get in the dragons' way, they fully intend to mow 'em down, so it's up to the Pet Avengers to hold their erstwhile comrades back.

This they do, and admirably, and once the dragons have flown unimpeded into orbit (for a beautiful wordless hatching scene, thank you Ig Guara!) Throg explains the situation. Thor is most understanding, and apologetic for his hotheadedness. He summons the Avengers off to help rebuild the world, and in another lovely power pose, Throg declares "Avengers stand together. We will help." So they board the quinjet, Mockingbird carrying Hairball most adorably, and we see a big green hand grip the rim of the volcano from within as it flies off.

( The End...or is it? )

Something tells me we maybe haven't seen the last of that Foom character.

4 pages under the cut; warning! layout-breaky double page spread!

Yes, it's another Avengers Vs. Pet Avengers post, because this issue is just that awesome.

The Recap Page helpfully informs us: Cap, Thor and Iron Man are mystically frogified! The rest of the Avengers duel dragons in China! Lockheed's turned tail and joined Fin Fang Foom!

( Verily, Pet Avengers, 'tis time once more to do battle! )

So. What happens now? I got no clue - the Next Issue page just has a standard Avenger/Pet Avenger Power Pose Cover, which tells us not very much. But I'll be there with bells on!

Oh, and I've hit my limit of 4 pages here, but if somebody could post at least the last panel of - ummm, page 20, I think, if I've counted right? - I'd love them forever. It's a Ms. Lion panel and, well, maybe somebody could use up our last page of the 1/3 rule with a post of Awesome Ms. Lion Panels? Because he gets some great ones that aren't germane to the plot. Early Christmas present maybe?

for frogs are tasty and easily chargrilled. :D

When last we left our heroes: a wacky-acting Fin Fang Foom transformed Tony, Bucky and Thor into frogs. Thor used his psychic link to Throg to summon the Pet Avengers; F-cubed swallowed first the Frogvengers, then the Pet Avengers - and made Lockheed an offer he maybe, possibly, can't refuse?
( I'm not telling. )
Next issue: The cover shows the Pets doing battle against a de-frogged Thor, IM and Cap. How? Why? Tune in next month, pet lovers!

So howzabout a little taste of the delicious crack that is Pet Avengers, hmmm? The first issue of Lockjaw & the Pet Avengers Unleashed came out this week; we've already seen the alternate cover and a preview of the prologue linked here. Now let's see the well-oiled machine that is our team in action!
( Here be dragons! And, y'know. Spoilers. )
I love this so, so much. Is it next issue time yet?

So, yeah, I'd say the mood needs a little lightening around here lately. Howzabout a few bits from Tails of the Pet Avengers #1? Because it is made of joy and win, my friends. It's composed of six five-page solo stories, starring Throg, Zabu, Ms. Lion, Lockheed, Lockjaw and Redwing. Here we have writing and art by the likes of Chris Eliopoulos, Ig Guara, Colleen Coover, Scott Gray, Gurihiru, Buddy Scalera and Joe Caramagna. It's just more fun than should be allowed by law, really.
