IT'S JEFF: JEFF-VERSE

Illustrated by Gurihiru
Meet Jeff the Land Shark, the cute, innocent, and downright hilarious breakout star from West Coast Avengers, now in his very own book that's perfect for young readers age 10-14!

Here’s all 3 of Jeff's hilarious solo adventures, including Venom War: It’s Jeff #1, collected in one trade edition.

Readers can play as Jeff the Land Shark in the smash hit new video game Marvel Rivals, available now!


Since his very first appearance, Jeff the Land Shark has flooded our hearts like an adorable tidal wave! Now the ingenious, the extraordinary, the unbearably innocent Jeff embarks on his own adventures across the Marvel Universe — with guest spots from some of your favorite heroes!

You thought it was safe doing laundry or going for a leisurely swim in the pool…but no activity can protect against Jeff's cuteness! Whether he's orchestrating a pet shop takeover, or solving a high-stakes mystery like "what's the best street-food snack," Jeff is flipping his fantastic fins all over the Marvel Universe! But, when Jeff’s night of fun is interrupted by the madness of the Venom War, is Marvel’s goodest boy going to be able to keep his cool? Or…will he give in to the symbiote’s temptations and eat someone’s brains?!?

COLLECTING: It's Jeff (2023) 1, It's Jeff: Jeff-Verse (2023) 1, Venom War: It's Jeff (2024) 1

She published her first graphic novel, Heart in a Box, with Dark Horse in 2015 and has written two novels: Storykiller (2014) and The Girl Who Would Be King (2012). Thompson debuted at Marvel in 2015, co-writing Captain Marvel & the Carol Corps and A-Force. She has since made a name for herself on such books as Hawkeye, West Coast Avengers, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, Deadpool and the Rogue-and-Gambit-starring Mr. and Mrs. X. Thompson’s Black Widow won the 2021 Eisner Award for best new series, and her Infinity Comic collaboration with Gurihiru, It’s Jeff! is a delight.
