Read more about Lockjaw And The Pet Avengers at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers is a four-issue comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics from July to October 2009. The series was written by Chris Eliopoulos with art by Ig Guara. Courtesy of Lockjaw's ability to teleport, the group visit the pre-historic Savage Land and acquire the Time Gem and the aid of the sabretooth tiger Zabu. The Space Gem is found in the past, and after an underwater encounter and being swallowed by the whale-like Giganto, the group collect the Soul Gem and the Reality Gem. The animal team converge on the final Gem, the 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. The series received mixed reviews, with IGN rating the first issue a 6.5 out of 10. The first issue sold out and went to second printing.
Lockjaw And The Pet Avengers has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
