That's right: Brute Force. Protectors of the Environment.

Stars of the 1990 limited series that Simon Furman and Jose Delbo worked on (http://80pagegiant.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/it-came-from-dollar-bin-brute-force.html) after the cancellation of Transformers.

If you've been hanging out to see Soar the eagle, Lionheart the lion, Wreckless the bear, Hip Hop the kangaroo, or Surfstream the dolphin again, you can check out the Deadpool Bi-Annual in September (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=53513).

Yeah, I'm excited about this - I hope Heavy Metal make an appearance. There's an interesting 'Urban Legends Revealed' article about Brute Force in the middle of this page (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/07/19/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-112/). Some guy called 'Drancron' helped contribute to it. :)

Never knew that this existed.

My life is the better for having seen it.

Deadpool is just icing on the cake.

The Deadpool Bi-Annual was hella 'larious. Some highlights (spoilers of ridiculous nonsense):

The original Brute Force comics have recently been collected into a trade paperback. Newsarama have published a history of the comic (https://www.newsarama.com/42126-dolphin-with-an-uzi-the-epic-oral-history-of-marve-s-brute-force.html) that might be of interest, a tale of making a comic book to sell toys, when the toys don’t exist.
