I read the Pet Avengers book, and can see how it was a welcome break from Dark Avengers for you guys (I don't read that), but I wasn't that excited by these Pets. Lockheed's drama about Kitty being dead felt melodramatic and didn't connect with me because these characters are dying and being resurrected all the time, I can't keep track. Death doesn't mean much to me in a Marvel comic. Sure, it was light and breezy, but at the end I didn't feel like my day had been improved by having read it.

I feel bad that Pet Avengers couldn't brighten up your day a little. Now I'm feelin kinda depressed.

I guess I just needed the Falcon's falcon to try to eat Throg.

Or to call Ms. Lion a whore.

Totally agree with you.

Fin Fang Four Returns was great as well, Roger Langridges cartoony style really fits the stories so well.

You should check out Dark Reigning Cats and Dogs by Chris Eliopoulos and I think Brad Anderson as well....it reminded me a lot of comics like the Beano and the Dandy that we have here.

Isn't bruce alive in a cave in the stone age? At least thats what I thought the last pages of final crisis were about anyway.
