While fans may find The Mandalorian’s Baby Yoda adorable, Marvel Comics has created a horrifying iteration of the infant Grogu. It’s Jeff #18 features the titular shark dressing up for Halloween, trying to find the perfect costume. Unfortunately, every cute costume he tries becomes horrific with just a toothy grin.
It’s Jeff features the slice of life, humorous adventures of Jeff the Land Shark. Introduced in West Coast Avengers #6 and named in #7 in 2018, the sidekick has served as a pet of sorts to both Gwenpool and Deadpool, before striking out on his own. With the cancelation of these heroes’ books, Jeff found a home in his own Marvel Infinity Comic in 2021. The series has returned for a second season, continuing his mini-adventures.
It’s Jeff #18 has the creative team of Kelly Thompson, G. Gurihiru, and Sarah Brunstad. The issue follows Jeff as he searches for a Halloween costume with Kate Bishop and Gwenpool. No matter what the adorable shark tries, his smile makes everything scary. From a clown to a chick, costume shopping is hard for a little land shark. Not even becoming The Mandalorian’s adorable breakout character Grogu can prevent Jeff from being scary.
Jeff’s Baby Yoda is One of the Scariest Things in the Galaxy
Of the many outfits Jeff tried, his Star Wars’ Grogu costume is one of the most fun and disturbing. He looks super cute, yet terrifying, all thanks to his large, shark-toothed grin. Even his chick costume calls to mind images of the horror game Five Nights at Freddy’s, as he resembles Chica. Considering the jump scares and creepiness of the game, that might be a more suitable costume for Jeff. Instead, the land shark opts to dress as a shark, which provides the perfect use for his jaws. Seeing Grogu used in this humorous manner brings Marvel and Star Wars’ connections to the forefront, allowing both worlds to blend seamlessly.
The Mandalorian quickly became a fan-favorite show following its debut in 2019. While the titular bounty hunter was a hit among viewers, the show was quickly stolen by the Child, whose official name would be revealed as Grogu. Nonetheless, fans have christened the galactic infant “Baby Yoda,” a name that has stuck for many years. Considering Marvel is publishing Star Wars comics, it isn’t surprising to see the Child in a Marvel comic. Yet it is very fun to see that even Marvel’s heroic universe is full of fans of The Mandalorian. While Grogu has abilities that could prove very fearsome in the future, his stature and infantile behavior and appearance prevent him from being a visual threat. Contrarily, Jeff the Land Shark successfully makes Baby Yoda something straight out of a nightmare thanks to the sharp-toothed alteration he provides in this Marvel Infinity Comic art.
It’s Jeff #18 is available now from Marvel Comics.
