I get asked a lot about character creation — and though I have had a hand in creating a ton of characters so far — and some surprisingly popular Marvel characters like Star, Lauri-ell, Xandra, Fuse & Alloy — none of them have even come close to the popularity of…JEFF THE LANDSHARK!
Jeff is the cutest, sweetest boy! Makes total sense he was inspired by Clive and Monach.
Marvel needs to get on a Jeff plushie STAT.
I have to say, you have created some of the BEST original characters and those aren't always an easy sell in comics. Lavish was a perfect and fascinating villain. Xandra was the most adorable ever. And Lauri-el is just a great personality that really stands out among other female characters. I love that she's a big lady who is strong, but earnest and kind and so super literal that she's hilarious. Lucy is quickly growing on me too.
I love Jeff. The Deadpool comic where he crashes Krakoa and we have a bit of Jeff vs the X-Men is one of my favorite comics of all time. Deadpool and Jeff meeting Emma.. and suddenly Jeff is sitting on Emma's lap getting pets? PRICELESS. And Storm "See? He's a very bad shark, Hisako" has to be one of the most epic lines in a comic ever. Poor Storm is not a Jeff fan. Magik OTH is a Jeff fan. Magik probably ports in and takes Jeff out for treats and pets.
A post that features cutest boy Jeff, Clive and the Monarch… now this is the content I was waiting for. I am a proud owner of that Gurihiru print with Jeff. A good friend of mine got it for me all the way from Japan. It’s now displayed proudly with my 1000 Kamala Khan fan art.
I have been pushing It’s Jeff to everyone I know. I tell people it’s good for their soul and as of now everyone agrees. Also It’s Jeff D+ show when?!?
I want to work at Marvel as a writer and an intern and get involved in the comic writing and creative process. How do I get started in this business, especially in a company like Marvel?

We all love Jeff! Anyone who does not is a monster or a Gail Simone fan. *Shakes fost at King Shark"

I am here to lodge a complaint about Jeff. Issue 8 of It’s Jeff has left me in tears. 🥺
That is all.
