Like pets? Like DC superheroes? Like Art Baltazar's artwork on Tiny Titans and other kid friendly DC comics? Then you'll love the DC Super-Pets Character Encyclopedia, as reviewed by J. Caleb Mozzocco for Robot 6.

I didn't know about any of those. The ones I knew about were Krypto the superdog, and there was a cat and a horse. I think the cat belonged to Supergirl, and I don't remember who owned the horse but it was also Kryptonian.

The Wikipedia article doesn't make it clear who would win in a battle between Comet and Twilight Sparkle.

He was a fine looking beast. Yes of course Supergirl fell in love with him.

And speaking of Streaky: Saturdays with Streaky the Supercat.

I think Art and Franco are some of the best things to happen to comics in the last several years, but to limit yourself to just their DC work is to miss out on some pretty wonderful stuff. Case in point: Aw Yeah Comics.

(To which I would like to say, "Aw yeah, Dark Horse!" for collecting this in print.)

Art and Franco are also doing DC Super Pets shorts during Cartoon Network's DC Nation.

Rebound the Drop Bear. Yes. And Scampi, the evil boomerang-throwing shrimp. This will do. Because if you're a cross-discipline engineer specializing in applied aerodynamics, lightweight high explosive formulation, rocket propulsion systems, energy weapons and have the hand-eye coordination, physical courage and presence of mind to go toe to toe with the freakin' Flash, yet all you can seem to do with your life involves making or throwing a boomerang... yes. Go ahead. Train the shrimp to throw boomerangs.

Aquaman will be laughing right up until he finds himself tied to a torpedorang. Then shit gets real.

DC Comics is reviving ‘Tiny Titans’

It's been dropped already in this thread, but still, the only acceptable response is a resounding AW YEAH.

Wednesday Comics had a great Supergirl story that featured Krypto and Streaky. It managed to be fun and yet not feel ridiculous.
