I know you're jealous that I just read Brute Force #1-4 but, please try to contain it. Simon Furman and Jose Delbo craft a classic good animals vs bad animals storyline with the fate of the environment at stake. OK ... maybe it's not so classic. Although, it may be considered an ancient ancestor of Grant Morrison's cyber-animal comic, WE3.

Dr. Pierce's Brute Force consists of five cybernetically enhanced animals. Complete with the ability to talk and loads of weapons, the team includes Soar (bird), Wreckless (bear), Lionheart (lion), Surfstreak (dolphin), and Hip-Hop (kangaroo). Brute Force battles Mr. Frost's team of cyber-enhanced animals, Heavy Metal. Mr. Frost hopes to develop evolved humans that can live in pollution ... and then pollute the entire continent of North America's air supply. Naturally, Brute Force isn't going to let that happen.
This comic is so bad, that it's good. Actually ... it's still pretty bad.
Apparently, (according to Comic Book Urban Legends (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/07/19/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-112/)) it was developed so that a toy company would buy into the concept and attempt to license the characters from Marvel. We all know how that worked out, don't we?
