The Best Version of Venom Isn’t Human, and Marvel Just Proved It to Us

Warning: Contains spoilers for Venom War: It’s Jeff! #1!
Marvel just introduced the best Venom host of all time: Jeff the Land Shark, in a tie-in to the publisher’s sprawling Venom War crossover. The cute sidekick to Gwenpool takes his symbiote transformation in stride during the Venom War. With adorable antics, the animal easily shows all other beings how to manage a Venomized experience better than any human.
Venom War: It’s Jeff! #1 – written by Kelly Thompson with art by Gurihiru – finds Jeff infected with the symbiote after his superhero friends leave him by himself before the Zombiote invasion breaks out. However, instead of going on a bloodthirsty, violent rampage, Jeff the Venomized Land Shark winds up on a Coney Island snacking spree.
Since Jeff and his symbiote share a common goal of eating everything in sight, he’s able to make a deal with the parasitic alien, and hilariously, simply rolls it up like a yoga mat when their mission is complete.

With his transformation going way better than it had any right to, Jeff the Land Shark becomes one of the best hosts for the alien creatures that Marvel Comics has ever had. Since debuting in West Coast Avengers in 2019, the shark has been one of the publisher’s most delightful characters, but he’s now also proven himself as a worthy host for the symbiotes. Though the shark has been infected by a symbiote in the past, he’s a total pro by the time he gets bonded with one in the Venom War event, transforming Jeff into a more Orca-like form.

When the rest of Jeff’s former West Coast Avengers teammates find the symbiote-powered shark beating up Zombiotes as they’re unleashed during his hungry rampage through Coney Island, they are slightly concerned but leap into action alongside the enhanced animal hero. Though their shared motives are quite simplistic, Jeff and the symbiote come to an understanding with each other better than most previous human hosts in the comics can manage. With such a pleasant and lovely experience, Jeff’s ability to roll up the symbiote for later use is a remarkable feat, while others get so easily consumed by the alien species.
The Venom War Might Prove It That Animals Make Better Symbiote Hosts Than Humans
The various events of Venom War, along with Jeff the Land Shark’s successful symbiote adventure on Coney Island, seem to point to animals handling the Venom transformation much better than their human counterparts. Venom War sees a dramatic showdown between Eddie and Dylan Brock, highlighting their complicated father and son relationship and how their clash impacts the rest of the Marvel Universe’s symbiote-powered heroes and villains alike. With various intense and violent battles between the human characters and their bonded symbiotes taking place elsewhere, Jeff’s snacking and easily taking down Zombiotes on the boardwalk is a breath of fresh air.

The adorable land shark isn’t the only animal that has had a strong Venom transformation recently, with the instant popularity of the Venom Horse after debuting in the trailer for this year’s Venom: The Last Dance. Venom Horse was also introduced to Marvel Comics during Venom War, being characterized in comic form as a similarly destructive creature, but with a super-intelligent internal monologue. The success of the horse and land shark’s symbiote-powered shenanigans could definitively prove that animals are better suited to bond with the alien species than humans, especially since their fun Venomized redesigns are a hit with fans.

It’s Jeff Shows The Shark At His Best
Perhaps Jeff’s connection to the symbiote isn’t only attributed to his animal nature or their shared hunger, but further speaks to just how appealing the character is. The adorable land shark might take the title of Marvel Comics’ cutest character, and he’s been proven to make friends wherever he goes in his various comic appearances from his debut in West Coast Avengers to Deadpool and his very own It’s Jeff adventures. With his lovable nature, Jeff the Land Shark bonds well with Marvel’s cast of characters and is the perfect candidate to host a symbiote for the strongest bond possible.
In Thompson and Gurihiru’s cute and playful Venom War tie-in, Marvel puts a spotlight on Jeff the Land Shark as their most suitable symbiote host yet.
The use of symbiotes in the Marvel Universe is set to undergo major changes in the aftermath of Venom War, with the new gold-suited Venom host still a mystery at this point. Still, with their popularity among fans and lack of drama when sharing their body with the alien species, Jeff’s symbiote form and the Venom Horse could lead to more animal and Venom mash-ups than human symbiote transformations. In Thompson and Gurihiru’s cute and playful Venom War tie-in, Marvel puts a spotlight on Jeff the Land Shark as their most suitable symbiote host yet.
Venom War: It’s Jeff! #1 is available now from Marvel Comics.
