What They’re Saying:
- Kelly Thompson, Writer: "Seeing Jeff rocket to stardom has been wild, and also exactly what he deserves. I'm obviously as biased as you can get, but what's not to love about an adorable land shark that wants to be friends with and/or eat everything he sees? I'm thrilled that the slow burn success of Jeff in comics and the wildfire success of Jeff in Marvel Rivals can work together to bring us the opportunity for not only more Jeff stories, but more complex Jeff stories," Thompson continued. “The It’s Jeff series works almost like perfectly executed jokes, and I couldn't love it more; but it's exciting to take on the challenge of the complicated narrative that you can get from a mini-series."
