Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers is a four-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics from July to October 2009. It was followed up by the four-issue limited series Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed from May to August 2010. Both series were written by Chris Eliopoulos with art by Ig Guara.

Plot

Throg and the puppy Ms. Lion (actually a character from the animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
).

Courtesy of Lockjaw's ability to teleport, the group visit the prehistoric

Power Gem, which is in the possession of the President of the United States' dog, Bo. The Titan Thanos, a previous owner of all six Gems when united as the Infinity Gauntlet
, intervenes and kills Ms. Lion. The other animals are angered by this act and use the Gems to strand Thanos in an alternate dimension and subsequently revive their comrade.

Retrieving the final Gem, the group decides to separate, but not before Throg advises that they now share a psychic link and will reunite if needed. Ms. Lion (resurrected by Hairball via the Soul Gem) dubs the group the Pet Avengers. The series concludes with Lockjaw presenting the Gems to a surprised Mr. Fantastic.

Reception

The first series received mixed reviews, with IGN rating the first issue a 6.5 out of 10.[1] The first issue sold out and went to second printing.[2]

#5 (June 2015).
