All-New, All-Remote Avengers #9 – ‘Reflection’

Posted on February 25, 2021September 17, 2023 by phil.wrede
Domino stands on a rooftop, looking over New York City as the sun sets. The title of the comic strip, “All-New, All-Remote Avengers Presents… ‘Reflection’,” is visible at the top of the page.
As Domino talks to herself, a mysterious pair of feet land on the rooftop behind her.
It turns out it’s the Black Cat, Domino’s best friend, who’s come to talk with her at War Machine’s prompting.
Domino and Black Cat make veiled references to how they should maintain their physical distance.
Domino’s worried she didn’t make the right decision, quitting the Avengers, even though her good luck power makes it so that, ultimately, she never really makes the wrong decision.
Black Cat encourages Domino that, even without Avengers resources, she’s always been able to make a positive impact in the lives of people around her.
As Black Cat jumps off the roof, on her way to her next adventure, she tells Domino to call her herself, next time she needs help. Domino runs to the edge of the rooftop, saying, “Did you forget that we’re millennials?”
All alone on the roof, Domino continues to say, “We hate to talk on the phone.”

It’s difficult to make a quiet, human-style moment land in a toy comic. Since characters’ expressions can’t usually change (unless they came with multiple heads, with different expressions, or something), “cinematic” elements like angles, colors, and shadows have to do even more of the heavy lifting than usual. I feel tremendously lucky to have found the great background photos for this comic that I used; it really sets the mood so much better than my words ever could.

Welcome to PizzaRat dot Net, where I (Phil Wrede) post my toy comics!

The Idea

Comics, but with photos, instead of drawings.

The Process

Using stock photos as backgrounds, and digitally pasting photos of action figures over them. Graphic design software enables the lettering.

The Point

To make comics, to share stories, and to retroactively justify all the money I've spent on action figures over the years.
