All-New, All-Seasonal Avengers #73 – ‘Somebody Is Comin’ to Town’

Posted on by phil.wrede
A lone taxicab speeds through the snowy streets of New York City. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, All-Seasonal Avengers Presents… ‘Somebody is Comin’ to Town’,” is visible at the top of the image.
Inside the cab, the driver, Ron Jomita (named after legendary Marvel Comics creator/artist, Jon Romita) asks Domino and the Black Cat if they’re superheroes. He remarks that only kids, drunk college students, and superheroes ask to be taken to Avengers Tower. Black Cat remarks that she isn’t that far out of grad school.
Domino leans forward to look out the front window, and points out the villain Sandman standing in the middle of the street, right in front of them.
Sandman forms a tremendous fist with his sand powers, and punches the cab so hard that it flips over its front end.
The cab flies over Sandman’s head, and crashes upside down on the street.
The snow falls heavier, as Domino pulls out her pistol, and orders the Black Cat to save the cab driver, and escape.
Sandman attacks Domino with another oversized fist; she ducks under his swing and shoots him in the face several times, staggering him backwards as he regains control of his form.
Sandman masses both giant fists, but as he runs at Domino again, several small missiles streak out of the sky and explode nearby, knocking him off his feet.
War Machine descends from above, weapons at the ready, as Jomita takes a photo of the scene on his phone.

Five entries into the holiday adventure story, and it’s clear that I’m not great at checking my comic plans against a calendar. It’s officially 2023, and this isn’t even the last installment in this tale! I hope you’ve been enjoying reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together, at least.

So, Sandman! I was so enchanted by the “SAND!” sound effect that I tossed into his first appearance that I’ll probably have to include it every time he pops up in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe.
