Fresh from his breakout role in Marvel Rivals, the beloved fish-boy with legs is gearing up for his debut solo print miniseries in JEFF THE LAND SHARK, launching this June.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Hot off his star-making appearance in Marvel Rivals, everyone's favorite walking fish boy is sharpening his teeth for the launch of his first starring print miniseries! Just announced at ComicsPro, superstar co-creator Kelly Thompson, who took Jeff to Eisner-nominated heights in the hit It's Jeff Infinity Comic, and acclaimed artist Tokitokoro up the stakes on Jeff's adventures this June in JEFF THE LAND SHARK! The five-issue limited series see Jeff make a splash all across the Marvel Universe as he teams up with the friends he's made over the years, outsmarts more than a few rivals, and unleashes all-new abilities!
When an "accident" in the Sanctum Sanctorum creates a "Shadow Jeff" intent on causing trouble, Jeff scrambles to undo his mistake. But when the Shadow escapes into the floor, Jeff must follow if he intends to return the Shadow to where it belongs. It's a grand tour of the Marvel Universe as the lovable land shark chases his shadow from The Savage Land to Madripoor, making new friends and enemies along the way. It will take everything Jeff's got to solve this problem and... reclaim his good name.
"Seeing Jeff rocket to stardom has been wild, and also exactly what he deserves," Thompson said. "I'm obviously as biased as you can get, but what's not to love about an adorable land shark that wants to be friends with and/or eat everything he sees?"
"I'm thrilled that the slow burn success of Jeff in comics and the wildfire success of Jeff in Marvel Rivals can work together to bring us the opportunity for not only more Jeff stories, but more complex Jeff stories," Thompson continued. "The It's Jeff series works almost like perfectly executed jokes, and I couldn't love it more; but it's exciting to take on the challenge of the complicated narrative that you can get from a mini-series."
