Kingdom (comics)
Kingdom is a comic series created by Dan Abnett and Richard Elson and published in 2000 AD starting in 2006.
The story revolves around a genetically modified dog named after Gene Hackman. A sequel The Promised Land (2007–2008) tells the story of Gene Hackman's encounter with a community of humans living in a compound which they call the Promised Land.
Plot
Kingdom centres on Gene the Hackman, a genetically modified dog, who is fighting an enemy known only as 'Them'. In the beginning Gene travels, constantly on patrol with the pack, an army that fights Them and follows the orders off a voice in their heads known as the urgings. Gene and his army encounter a myserious "Land Bridge" which inexplicaply seems to be made of earth hanging in the air. They conclude that "Them" created the bridge to invade other lands. They follow the bridge, but Gene's pack wants to go home and report to the "masters" presumed to be humans but later revealed to be mere robot servants. Soon the urgings disappear and the oldest member of the army Old Man Gary has no recollection of being without the voices. This causes conflict and the pack members who do not abandon Gene are eventually killed.

Gremlins
Gremlins is a 1984 American comedy horror film directed by Joe Dante and released by Warner Bros. The film is about a young man who receives a strange creature called a mogwai as a pet, which then spawns other creatures who transform into small, destructive, evil monsters. This story was continued with a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, released in 1990. Unlike the lighter sequel, Gremlins opts for more black comedy, balanced against a Christmastime setting. Both films were the center of large merchandising campaigns.
Steven Spielberg was the film's executive producer and the screenplay was written by Chris Columbus. The film stars Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates, with Howie Mandel providing the voice of Gizmo, the main mogwai character. Gremlins was a commercial success and received positive reviews from critics. However, the film was also heavily criticized for some of its more violent sequences. In response to this and to similar complaints about Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Spielberg suggested that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) alter its rating system, which it did within two months of the film's release.
Gizmo (DC Comics)

Fictional character biography
Mikron O'Jeneus
A bald dwarf who flies around on a jet pack, Gizmo is a genius inventor who can turn seemingly innocuous objects like vacuum cleaners into dangerous weapons. Gizmo created a corporation which supplied technology to various people, including criminals. Hoping to increase his wealth, Gizmo joined the Fearsome Five through an ad placed in the Underworld Star, a criminal underground newsletter, by the psychopathic criminal Doctor Light.
After a number of unsuccessful conflicts with the Teen Titans, (and Superman in Adventures of Superman #430) Gizmo went straight for a while, and took a job at S.T.A.R. Labs, until his former Fearsome Five teammate Psimon, after having been seemingly killed by his teammates, resurfaced looking for revenge, and shrank Gizmo to microscopic size. Years later, Gizmo found a way to revert to his normal size, and took up a life of crime once again, partnering with his former teammate, Mammoth.
