Cute, little, wordless vignettes featuring Jeff, Gwenpool's pet land shark from West Coast Avengers. I read the first season of 12 of these in about 15 minutes, so it's an easy, all-ages read.

I'm not gonna review the whole thing, there's not much to it, but I just wanted to say this was a pretty damn cute mobile comic.

Jeff is the best Marvel Character ever.
Seriously this comic is so cute and made me giggle a lot, can recommend to anyone who needs cheering up.

Representing the first six (and will be updated once I get through the last six) issues of "It's Jeff!", an incredibly cute and delightful little escape starring everyone's favorite land shark, Jeff. This series is part of Marvel's Infinity Comic line, their first digital-only comics in a vertical reading format (i.e., the story is one continuous vertical frame that you scroll down to read). This style isn't new, digital comics published under Webtoon are in this format, but regardless it's nice to see Marvel opening up to alternate forms of storytelling in the comics genre.
Jeff made his first appearance when Gwenpool adopted him in West Coast Avengers, Vol. 2: City of Evils, and he was most recently under Deadpool's "care" (both written by Thompson, btw); though it seems like Kate Bishop has assumed the care taking responsibilities of the mischievous yet golden-hearted Jeff. (My best guess is this series takes place during WCA, but it's really not important). Each issue is a short, wordless vignette in the life of Jeff, often a misadventure as he crosses paths with superheroes and regular humans alike who may be startled by a tiny shark, say, swimming in a pool or frolicking in a meadow of flowers. Jeff also joins our favorite superheroes on their off days - gathering for a swim party, tobogganing down the slopes, or on laundry day.
Thompson and artist duo Gurihiru are a fantastic team - there's no one better to bring the cuteness than Gurihiru. I love seeing Marvel superheroes through their eyes, and Gurihiru has brought the same level of quality to this webcomic as all their other works. There are some cute though out visuals like superheroes' costumes reimagined as swimwear (I loved Carol's!), Doctor Strange's alien pool float, an adorable tandem toboggan for Wiccan and Hulkling - but of course, no one's more adorable than Jeff. Gurihiru understands the vertical storytelling assignment, playing with light and color, along with long scenes that reveal more as one scrolls down, to enhance the story.
I always appreciate when creators aren't afraid to embrace the lighter and more playful aspects of the superhero genre, and "It's Jeff!" has that in spades. Thompson's sweet vignettes paired with Gurihiru's beautiful art and attention to detail elevates what could have been a throwaway comic into a delightful respite to end 2021.

It's not so much the Avengers as it is... a truly shocking number of superheroes having a little pool party. Jeff wants in!
The comic is very cute, as all things Jeff tend to be. There are a ton of cute Easter eggs scattered throughout that long-time readers will enjoy picking up. There's also the added layer of hilarity of so many heroes still wearing their masks while in the water. Also, side-note, is Misty's arm waterproof? One wonders...
Anyway, it's a cute little thing. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series and hoping it will all be just as cute.
Who doesn't love Jeff?

File this under: “Kelly Thompson makes cute stuff.” I didn’t want to like Jeff, the ridiculous, four-legged shark from West Coast Avengers, but he’s pretty harmless. A lot like the ‘animal friend’ in a Disney movie. Fine.🦈 I’ll read your unnecessary Infinity Comic.

I've been reading this series as well, though I forgot to review it on GR. I've wanted Jeff to have more time to shine ever since he was first introduced. And PLEASE Marvel, can we get a Jeff plushie?

Toto sa nedá popísať inak ako "cute jak hovado" a bude to jedna z prvých vecí, ktoré budem ukazovať svojmu decku.

I just loved this. I love this. This was so unbelievably adorable, I can’t even do it justice.
I’m so glad I bought this; it made me unreasonably happy. Highly recommend if you need a little pick me up or just something to brighten your day!

The desire to bridge the chasm of reason through a “leap of faith,” as Soren Kierkegaard, that completely over semantic, melancholic Danish old white man, dared call it. Absurd and yet completely and utterly unavoidable, unrefutable! Kierkegaard constantly argues, that such a leap is what humans require, the absolute necessity of morality, a concept so far beyond the comprehension of mankind and which goes past the scope of rationality, the cornerstone of modern society. The abandonment of what ought to be completely logical in favor of something... right?
But how foolish I still feel now to see an absolute morality sitting in the adorable pudgy cheeks of a talking land shark, Jeff, as they call him, the creature stemming from origins in the fictional, overly-commercialized universe that is Marvel. A beast so tiny, so small and of pure innocence, incomprehensive cuteness, and yet I stand to say, driven beyond measure to say: Is this not what morality looks like? Morality, indeed, is that absurdity that every man claims to understand, but which is uglier than they could ever imagine, save when it arrives wrapped in infantile disarmament.
Jeff! In this unique or acute, I could almost call it, toothy grin, his innocent rampages, has he not already leaped past the fixture of morality which we have defined, where I stand or grovel, almost ensnared? I fear not looking at him too long. And what of you, wretches, I wish to cry, those of you who deride me! You will claim; “He is adorable because he is amoral”, but I somehow, which I fail to grasp, in all honesty, his innocence entailing that he is free from the wretched curse of choice that distinguishes a man from a beast.” To this, I shout, NO! That is where you err, Jeff has chosen morality. He chooses not to bite the hand of those who shelter him. He plays when play is permitted. Does this little beast’s compliance, nay, joy, bespeak something far closer to divine justice than all my suffering?
Tell me this: Would Kierkegaard not weep to see that same leap of faith performed with greater sincerity by Jeff than by any man of reason? He does not hesitate to leap, tail wagging! His belief was, was untroubled. His trust, pure and unexamined, yet, should he not still perish were we to betray it? Perhaps even Jeff's leap requires faith, a childish yet natural acceptance that man—unworthy as he may be—is capable of kindness. And when I ask you, What separates him from morality itself, you would mock and counter, sneering: “Morality must wrestle with reason, or else it is no morality at all!”
To which I grow faint with disgust. Reason? Ha! It is precisely you “reasonable” men—your scribblers of moral axioms, your cursed rationalists—who have smothered morality with cold systems of algebra! Jeff, in his soft naïveté, leaps where you refuse. How ironic!
“Ah, but he is only cute,” you will say, dismissing me now, contempt bubbling in your voice like the philosophers whose petty certainties scatter like dry leaves on the wind. And is it so wrong to conflate cuteness with purity of purpose? A hammer, when pure, strikes. A child, when pure, believes. Jeff, when pure, smiles at his tiny place in the grand cruelty of being—and in his “cuteness,” I envy him far more than any saint’s scornful benevolence. Laugh then at my praise, see it as a feverish exaggeration. But answer me this—
Would not the soul of man, in some miraculous twist of redemption, benefit from a morality this unpretentious, this free of ostentation? And if morality appears, where better than in a creature who seems incapable of sin?
It is a terrible thing that morality should dwell in so insignificant, harmless, adorable a beast—yet it dwells there nonetheless. My head aches. If I could rip it from him and place it in my own chest, I would.
Ah, Jeff! My Lord and Savior! You laugh, you scoff at me—I hear it already. A madman’s ramblings, they’ll say. And yet, have we not all become mad in this bleak, forsaken world? A world where men grovel in darkness, where they stab at shadows and find no light to pierce the abyss of their despair? And still, I tell you that in this darkness, Jeff matters! His smallness, his cuteness, matters! For even a spark—yes, a laughable, absurd, fluffy spark—is enough to make one remember that all is not yet lost.
And here now, the weight of our existential sickness draws me back to the brothers Karamazov and that dreadful question that haunts all men when God is dead. “But what will become of men then?” I asked him, “Without God and immortal life? All things are permitted then, they can do what they like?”
Do you see it now? That question gnaws at the heart of the matter—the sickness

All the Marvel SH are having a pool party... everyone is having a fun time...until Jeff (J) the Land Shark shows up! Then it is everyone out of the pool! This wordless comic is pure fun; you don't have to think about anything too deeply, it just is what it is! Nice change of pace that I will now add to my list of books to follow, J is sure to make you smile!

This is such a cute story! I came across someone mentioning ‘Jeff the Land shark’ in a TikTok video and was instantly hooked, especially as someone who loves sharks and cute things, such as Jeff!
It’s very easy to understand and this particular vol. had no dialogue, which made it very easy to follow along with the adorable art.

Jeff the Land Shark has quickly become one of my favourite comics inclusions in a while, and a comic series around his misadventures is a wonderful idea. This is a charming tale of Jeff joining Marvel heroes for a pool party, although it's far too short. I could've done with more.

Den paso al nuevo rey de Marvel, Jeff es una cosa hermosa.
Me da mucha risa ver a los superhéroes en su fiesta de alberca con trajes de baño basados en sus trajes originales. En especial Doctor Strange con su llanta inflable de Shuma Gorat (un detalle soberbio)

Super adorable! I recognize most of the Marvel characters. This is really a picture book comic with no words, but I am going to count it toward my reading goal because...I can! A lot can be said without words.

Read the entire 48 issues currently out in one day and loved it. Short, light-hearted, and super cute art style. Fun references to other Marvel characters. If you're here cause of Marvel Rivals, it's definitely worth checking out for more Jeff.
