And that is all the normal comic issues of It's Jeff. There are enough webtoon strips now to make 2 more of these, and I'm sure Marvel will put those out soon. Probably after the It's Jeff trade comes out collecting these 3 issues. So what did you think? Are you all in on Jeff, or will you ignore his existence?

As cute as Jeff is in Rivals, his concept is dragged down by being associated with the "young" characters no one likes because they're all just soapbox diversity characters. As far as the comics go at least.

>>43136 Jeff has already surpassed all those characters and once the current writer of It's Jeff is gone expect him to barely interact with them.

>>43156 True. Y'know pretty much every character would do with not being part of the mainline & just creator owned completely or in a new line that doesn't have the baggage. The new Ultimate line is the best we got. Sadly even Rivals is stuck with slight association with nu-comics everyone hates with how much it references almost entirely only comics from the last 10 years.

>Marvel has been pushing Jeff as the cute new mascot lately, so let's see what Jeff is like. I thought it was weird he was in Rivals, since I hadn't heard of him and "Lockjaw" is who comes to mind as superpowered animal from Marvel. Still, he's completely inoffensive in his existence (he's not replacing anyone, the world doesn't revolve around him, he doesn't alter any existing canon) and can stand completely on his own (he's not a legacy, a mutant, an inhuman, a robot build by some existing character etc.) which is something I don't think a new Marvel character has had since the The New Warriors in the 90s, and even most of them were from the late 80s. >>43112 Katie and Julie swimsuits is nice but should have gotten closer shots

>fin Got a laugh out of me.

>>43112 >fin <fin

The only thing I feel from this is depression and emptiness. I will now proceed to ignore the fact that this exists.

>>43242 The only future Marvel has is small inconsequential stories on cute characters. They're not willing to be cool, consistent, respectful, or non political so all we're left with it just cute out of mainline stuff like this.

>>43244 The comic is vapid, but I can't think of a better thing Marvel has put out in recent years. The other characters are completely hamfisted in though and it makes the whole thing feel like an ad. I liked the venom part though, especially the orca visual gag.

>>43247 Yeah it would work better without the modern characters no one likes. Go the classic Marvel Adventures route with the characters people actually know & readers actually want to see.

A new It's Jeff one-shot released today, this one is collecting the It's Jeff Infinity Comic 25-36, and the Jeff Week Infinity Comic.

And that's it. Jeff shilling is hitting new peaks soon with Jeff getting a proper comic mini-series next month. Then in July alongside issue 2 of his mini-series another one of these one-shots collecting his Infinity Comic is releasing. Who new a quadrupedal shark would become such a big hit for Marvel.

>>51244 Reminded that Tom Brevort was very dismissive of Rivals' popularity and claimed it didn't affect character popularity in the comics. >“I tend to think that popularity in Marvel Rivals likely has more to do with play mechanics than it does the characters themselves. Which is to say that I haven’t seen any major correlation between popularity in the game and a rise of interest in the character in print, outside of maybe one or two outliers.” Really thinking the current writers and editors at Marvel are morons who hate money and are coping that the Chinese made a game better than most of the current comics.

>>51245 Jeff has been popular since before Rivals. His popularity is why he is in Rivals to begin with.

>>51246 Not to sure about that considering how many people either didn't know or didn't care about Jeff before Rivals. It's very obvious Jeff was included in the game mainly to have a cute inoffensive toyetic character. Same reasoning behind Grogu's design in Star Wars.

>>51249 It's Jeff has been running on Marvel Unlimited since 2021. It's one of the longest running Infinity comics. I'm not saying Rivals didn't give him a boost, but he had been growing in popularity and showing up in things like Marvel Snap well before Rivals released.

Marvel continues the Jeff push with a brand new mini-series starring the quadrupedal fish. Here is Jeff the Land Shark #1.

The Deadpool Batman variants are all more interesting crossovers than the one they are actually doing.

He looks like a Pokemon.

Time for another Jeff one-shot. This time we have It's Jeff: Infinity Paws, this issue collects the Marvel Unlimited comic Infinity Paws. That's right, the It's Jeff brand name has gotten big enough they are renaming comics with Jeff in them to have his name on the cover.

And that's it for this one-shot. Jeff the Land Shark #2 will be out in a week or two.

Time for Jeff the Land Shark #2.

That's it for issue 2. I don't think there are any one-shots next month, so no more Jeff until issue 3.

It's Jeff #3 is here.

That's it for issue 3. We have another It's Jeff one-shot next week collecting the Unlimited Comic.

>>56307 Thanks for the storytime op.

Time for It's Jeff and Other Marvel Tails. This one-shot is collecting three Unlimited Comics; It's Jeff, Alligator Loki, and Marvel Meow. I think Marvel has released one-shots for Alligator Loki and Marvel Meow in the past, but I guess it is more lucrative to put them with Jeff.

And that's all. I don't believe there are any more Jeff one-shots solicited, so all that is on the horizon are the final 2 issues of the Jeff the Land Shark mini-series. Issue 4 of the mini is releasing at the end of the month.
