    Lockjaw was always one of my favorite characters, so I'd like to thank Marvel for RAPING MY CHILDHOOD WITH PET AVENGERS.


    Also, I didn't realize until WIKI-ing it that Lockjaw wasn't a human in big sloppy dog form, as I remember that reveal, but not the, er, reveal to the reveal?


    Also, holy crap: [enterthestory.com]


    And: [enterthestory.com]


    No, that is not my website.

    @Lassus: And now, my diatribe against the phrase 'raped my childhood' and it's use by fanboys. You do not have personal ownership over any character, story or property. You have your own memories, and your own likes and dislikes. When a creator takes something you cherished in a direction you dislike, the mature response is "I prefer X over Y because..." and then list salient reasons.


    The more common route however, is some variation on the phrase "raped my childhood." This phrase implies that creators have a responsibility to you, because you are (obviously) the definitive authority on the topic. You aren't. Get over yourself.

    @sensenet: I've been here long enough to know that Lassus wouldn't type that seriously.

    @ZanipoloLebron: My kitties like to play with bubbles too.


    But they are not super-heroic in any way. Or even super-villains. Just super-cute.

    I will have to pick this up. It sounds interesting, if a bit rushed. But hell, it's only the first issue.
