IT'S JEFF: BRAND NEW WEEK #1 lands — a septapus‑styled misadventure

Jeff the Land Shark gets a clingy new sidekick in IT'S JEFF: BRAND NEW WEEK #1. A surprising partnership, a tricky jam, and callbacks to his early hero cameos make this debut a must‑read for anyone who loves Marvel’s light‑hearted side of the universe.

IT'S JEFF: BRAND NEW WEEK #1 is the first issue of a fresh Marvel series that puts Jeff the Land Shark in an unexpected partnership. The new installment arrives just in time for the June release schedule, promising a mix of humor and tight‑rope action.

Jeff has long been a willing side‑kick for heroes, but his latest companion, Ken the Septapus, is a seven‑tentacled creature with a habit of clinging onto everything. When a sudden mishap strands the duo together in a precarious scenario, Jeff must choose between his usual desire for solitude and the need to help his new friend out of trouble. The issue also nods back to Jeff’s first meetings with Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone, pulling material from Jeff Week, Deadpool and Marvel Age #1000.

The story lands in the capable hands of Kelly Thompson, whose dialogue balances silliness with heartfelt moments, while artist Gurihiru supplies the bright, kinetic visuals that have defined Jeff’s recent runs. The combination of Thompson’s quick‑witted script and Gurihiru’s expressive line work makes the first issue feel both familiar and new, a solid entry point for newcomers and a rewarding continuation for longtime fans.

If the concept of Jeff paired with an oddball sidekick catches your interest, you might also enjoy the earlier Jeff Week (2025) one‑shot, which showcases similar celebrity cameos and the same blend of humor that makes this new title feel at home in the Jeff universe.

Pick up IT'S JEFF: BRAND NEW WEEK #1 and see how a septapus can turn a regular day for Marvel’s most enthusiastic shark into something worth the splash.
