"Back in Black Bolt #5, writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Frazer Irving finally settled the mystery of Lockjaw's origin: He's definitely a dog, birthed by a dog, who happens to have the power of teleportation.

"But now we're going even further: How did Lockjaw obtain that power? And is he really the only Inhuman dog in the universe? So in issue #1, we find out that Lockjaw's got brothers and sisters. From there, we'll be following everybody's best friend around the universe as he tracks down his siblings -- along with a surprising companion, D-Man! It's gonna be a fantastic ride, all beautifully illustrated by up-and-comer Carlos Villa!"
