While this comic strip isn’t a pure continuation of the events of Spider-Man’s No Good, Very Bad Night, they’re connected closely enough that I’d like to recommend Part 1 and Part 2 to you, if you’ve not had occasion to read them, yet. I think my favorite J. Jonah Jameson moments are the ones when…
After an extremely long break, the Fenris Rangers make a triumphant return! Since it’s been so long, let me hit the high points of the last installment: while aboard a wrecked Cardassian craft in what used to be the Romulan Neutral Zone, Tom Riker, the Doctor, and their Chalnoth crewmate found a Vidiian corpse, with…
Skurge is absolutely one of my favorite MCU characters (played, helpfully, by one of my favorite actors, Karl Urban – I ask again, where is my Dredd sequel/TV series?). As a fellow collector of things that don’t impress or amaze nearly as many people as I hoped they would when I began collection, the pain…
Picking up shortly after the previous full-length comic strip left off (the Fabulous Fiftieth Full-Length entry in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe!), we’ve got ourselves another appearance from Clint Barton, Hawkguy himself, and the introduction of a few other familiar faces (although, Spider-Man did earlier reference his fraught relationship with She-Hulk)! Even…
It seemed, to me, like a logical step to have Domino wade even deeper into the waters of institutional power by drafting her into a mayoral campaign. Despite how overburdened NYC City Hall, the NYPD, and some nebulous element of the state government apparently are with HYDRA sympathies, there are people walking the corridors of…
Fifty strips in the “main” story of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Fifty! 5-0! It’s as arbitrary a number to celebrate as any other number, but this is a lot of comic strips (for me)! I wish I could say that I’d had this dramatic, cliff-hanger-y Spider-Man tale planned in celebration for…
I know that every time J. Jonah Jameson makes an appearance in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, I go out of my way to talk about how hard I try not to overuse him. I’m sure I do, though; telling stories without an editor tends to make the storyteller… self-indulgent. Then again,…
Welcome back to Part 4 of X-Force’s Assault on the Vault, and the conclusion, for now.. In Part 3, of course, we learned that a few of the Vault’s villainous prisoners had managed to break out* during the commotion. You didn’t have to be an eagle-eyed reader to guess who’d escaped, but I hope this…
My wife, as I’ve mentioned before, has been incredibly supportive of this toy comic project, from the first time I offhandedly mentioned it as an idea. She’s obtained a number of wonderful accessories for me to fill out the world of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, from the toy dog that eventually…
Welcome, dear reader, to Part 3 of the X-Force Assault on the Vault! There were fewer opportunities for dramatic visual effects in this strip than in Part 2, but I think the writing was funnier this time, so it sort of evens out. And, if you want to read Part 1, well, you can go…
