If the B.A.T. made its gun out of spare parts it found in Destro’s workshop, that means we’ve got ourselves a Dr. Soong -> Data -> Lal-type situation going on at COBRA HQ, doesn’t it?

All-New, Overworked Avengers #59 – ‘I Want It That Way’
It’s been a while since Iron Man proper last showed up in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe – just about 14 months, in fact! Tony Stark took a real vacation, at least from super-heroics, even though he’s made some appearances via StarkComm video meetings. Ever the showman, Stark’s making his grand return…
Marvel Short #42 – Election Season! (part 2)
One of the things that I appreciate about the (current – no spoilers) mayor is that he can be pragmatic, and usually recognizes who the greater threat is. Even though he and Domino are competitors, she doesn’t think he’s a… well, whatever the conspiracy theory du jour is! For her part, Domino is a woman…
All-New, Overworked Avengers #58 – ‘I’m Still Alive’
Spider-Man’s road to recovery from his No Good, Very Bad Night has been kind of a protracted one – from the moment of his injury to his subsequent rescue – and it’s one for which he’s not been on-panel! A lot of people have talked about him, and about what he means to them, but…
Marvel Short #41 – Election Season! (part 1)
Welcome to the first in a series of short comics that get up close and personal with Domino’s campaign for mayor! I’ve plotted these out pretty carefully, and I think I should be able to do one installment, every other week, and time the “election day” installment pretty closely to the actual 2022 election day…
Destro & Son #1 – “My Creation!”
The Profit Director Destro action figure is, I think, a spectacular-looking action figure, and when I saw it for the very first time, I thought of about a dozen different stories I wanted to tell with him. Thanks to some unexpected free time this past weekend, I was able to start one of those stories!
Star Wars – A Mandalorian, Episode XI: As Above, So Below
When I said I was taking a break from my Star Wars toy comic after its last installment, I didn’t really expect to take about a year and a half off from it, but life (and inspiration) sure find ways to pull you in unanticipated directions. My Mandalorian and R5 are back, at least for…
All-New, Overworked Avengers #57 – ‘Somewhere I Belong’
This is kind of a mess of a meeting, here, but that’s what you get when the people running it are operating at cross purposes! I am thrilled, however, to finally get to introduce the President of the United States of America in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe. I’ve had my eye…
Marvel Short #40 – The Counter-Invaders (part 3)
The third, and for now, final installment of the superheroes’ fight for Ukraine is here, and I figured there was no duo better suited to cap this little power fantasy exercise of mine than Colossus and Wolverine. Iron Man and Darkstar in the first entry fought the battle from the air, and Red Guardian and…
RANGERS #2 – “Go Go Legal Contracts!”
Building on the previous strip, it looks like Lord Zedd has a few enforcers that he likes to send out to his buildings and harass his tenants, doesn’t it? Good thing at least some of these renters know how to stand up for themselves! In my anecdotal experience, it seems like people vastly prefer Tommy…
