Batman swings into the base of operations often used by his foes (a playset from the Batman ’66 TV series), and is met by the Riddler, who’s wearing purple trunks over his green costume, and sporting boxing gloves, to boot. Batman asks, “Riddle me this, Nygma, why do rats always abandon a sinking ship?”

The Rumble in the Riddle!

One of the wonderful things about characters who’ve been adapted dozens, even hundreds of times over by all manner of creative folks on paper, in live-action, animation, plastic, digital spaces, etc., is that everybody can have their own favorite take on those characters. There can even be times that your favorite version is one that…

The Red Pyscho Ranger fires bursts of green energy from his fingertips, knocking Andros, the Space Ranger, to his knees. “You need to leave!” the Psycho Ranger declares. The title of this comic strip, “R*A*N*G*E*R*S in… ‘Go Go Party Foul!’,” is visible at the top of the image. The R*A*N*G*E*R*S logo is stylized to resemble the logo for the TV show FRIENDS.

RANGERS #5 – “Go Go Party Foul!”

Andros needed a win this week, if you ask me, and sometimes a win is just getting to your feet, and punching back when life knocks you down!

President Kirby (“played” by a figure of Bruce Campbell’s character Ash Williams from the Evil Dead franchise, and named for iconic comics creator Jack “the King” Kirby) sits behind his desk in the Oval Office. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, Reacquired Avengers Presents… ‘No One Man Should Have All That Power’,” is visible at the top of the image.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating this meeting for quite a while, ever since introducing President Kirby to the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, in fact! I can hear Bruce Campbell’s voice in my head when I read his dialogue; I hope you do the same. There are a lot of directions you can take…

At the Jersey Shore, NYC Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel comics editor/writer Mark Gruenwald) meets with a HYDRA agent, to plan their wave of voter intimidation for the upcoming election.

In case you’ve not had a chance to read the earlier entries in this series… The mayor has had a pretty unstable relationship with HYDRA, hasn’t he? One day, he’s backing their plays against the Avengers, and the next, he’s denouncing them for being, well, HYDRA! I guess that, when the chips are down, and…

Within the Daily Bugle building, J. Jonah Jameson shouts for his intern, Miles Morales. Miles stands just behind Jonah. The title of the comic strip, “All-New, Reacquired Avengers Presents… ‘Ain’t Nothin’ But A Heartache’,” is visible at the top of the image.

Jonah would probably take a large share of the credit for Tony Stark’s recent takeback of the Avengers from King T’Chaka of Wakanda, and he might be right, but not in the way that he thinks he is. He’d say that his holding the powerful monarch to account caused T’Chaka to rethink his “plan” to…

NYPD Detective McDuffie (who's named for animation/comics writer/creator Dwayne McDuffie) and Officer Osafer secretly meet with Domino during her campaign for Mayor.

Domino and Detective McDuffie’s relationship has certainly grown, since her suspicion of him when they first met! Now, she’s counting on him to help provide her with vital information in her campaign for mayor! Like it says above, this is Part 4 of the Election Season story, so if you want to, you can go…

Inside of Avengers Tower, Tony Stark stands with his back to a door, and his hand protectively over his heart. “I’ve walked into an ambush,” he says. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, Overworked Avengers Presents… ‘Tell Me Why’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, Overworked Avengers #60 – ‘Tell Me Why’

Posted on August 31, 2022September 19, 2023 by phil.wrede

Picking up right where we left off in the last installment of the “main story,” Tony Stark gets to make his case to King T’Challa of Wakanda – and the prince and princess – about why he should be able to reacquire the Avengers, after giving them away so speedily before. I have to observe…

Andros, the Space Ranger, sits on a couch, bemoaning, “The dream monster! It’s always chasing me!” The title of this comic strip, “R*A*N*G*E*R*S in… ‘Go Go Roommate Crisis! [Part 2]’,” is visible at the top of the image. The R*A*N*G*E*R*S logo is stylized to resemble the logo for the TV show FRIENDS.

What is there to say this time, except that Andros probably pushed his luck a little too hard?

Trini, the Yellow Ranger, and Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, stand next to one another somewhat nervously. Trini asks, “Is Andros still asleep?” The title of this comic strip, “R*A*N*G*E*R*S in… ‘Go Go Roommate Crisis!’,” is visible at the top of the image. The R*A*N*G*E*R*S logo is stylized to resemble the logo for the TV show FRIENDS.

RANGERS #3 – “Go Go Roommate Crisis!”

Posted on August 25, 2022November 26, 2023 by phil.wrede

After not appearing in the last R*A*N*G*E*R*S strip, Andros makes his return in this installment! I feel a little bad for making a bunch of unfounded assumptions about the leader of the Power Rangers in Space, based exclusively on the cloak with which his action figure was outfitted, but you can’t control how inspiration strikes,…

At a break in their campaigning action, Domino and NYC's Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel Comics editor/writer Mark Gruenwald) sneak off to speak with secret allies who have information to offer. Domino meets with NYPD Detective McDuffie (who's named for comics/animation writer/creator Dwayne McDuffie), while the Mayor meets with a HYDRA agent!

Welcome to Part 3 of the Election Season story! Please, feel free to take a look at Part 1 and Part 2, if you like! If you were wondering just how far the Mayor was willing to go to win his electoral battle against Domino… wonder no longer!

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.
