The cover, featuring Daredevil standing in a burning church, watching as Father Miller (“played” here by an action figure of Peter Cushing from the film ‘Horror of Dracula’) and Hellverine fight. This is the first second in the series, and text along the bottom edge reads, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede.”

Daredevil! #2

Posted on July 9, 2025July 14, 2025 by phil.wrede

Welcome back to another installment of my new Daredevil story! I’m still really pleased with how the first part came out, but I think the panel layouts flow a little better this time (especially from one page to the next), and I think I did a better job of channeling Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin in his…

1. The cover, featuring Daredevil hiding behind a motorcycle, which is blocking him from the view of Hellverine, the Weapon of Vengeance. Flames track the width of the image. In shadow looming overhead, the Kingpin of Crime oversees the scene. This is the first issue in the series, and text in the bottom right corner reads, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede.

Daredevil! #1

Full disclosure: I never really thought I was a Daredevil fan. I certainly admire a lot of Daredevil stories and artwork; it’s tough to enjoy the kinds of movies and comics that I enjoy without encountering the generally-agreed-upon peaks of Daredevil-ish-ness. For instance, there’s probably been enough written about Frank Miller’s run on the comic…

Under the title of the comic series - “Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow” - the second Death Star looms large on the cover. Our heroine, Tyria D’Lace, stands with her back to the reader, facing the Death Star from a low angle. At the bottom middle edge of the image, the words, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede,” are displayed.

Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow #3

Welcome back to part three of Endor’s Shadow, the part of the tale where the inescapable Star Wars threat rears its gigantic spherical head again! Star Trek has the Borg, and Star Wars has the Death Star! If you’re reading this comic on the day it goes live, I feel obliged to take a second…

Under the title of the comic series - “Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow” - our heroine, Tyria D’Lace, stands mostly covered in the shadow of something undefined, beside Princess Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. In the bottom left corner of the image, the issue number - 2 - is visible, and at the very bottom are the words, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede.”

Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow #2

It took a couple of months to return to my latest Star Wars comic story (go back and read the first installment, if you haven’t – I think it’s pretty good!), so I hope the second episode of Endor’s Shadow was worth the wait! I spent a lot of time trying to refine my spaceship…

Sitting on top of a mountain in the desert, Agent Mobius works on his laptop, exclaiming, “It’s amazing - I can get a signal up here!”

Mobius and Loki take a break!

Posted on April 9, 2025April 8, 2025 by phil.wrede

I took these Mobius and Loki photos when my wife and I were out of town, a while back, and I haven’t had the time to do anything with them until recently. It’s a low-stakes adventure, as toy comics in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe go, but I can hear Owen Wilson…

The Atom Smasher (from the Black Adam film) stands at his normal height before the towering Super-Adaptoid, his head barely at the same height as the android’s belt. “You’re the what?” Atom Smasher asks. “Super-Adaptoid,” it answers.

Atom Smasher Versus… The Super-Adaptoid!!

Posted on March 19, 2025March 19, 2025 by phil.wrede

I don’t think I’m saying anything new when I say that I didn’t like the Black Adam movie very much, nor do I think I’m blazing new territory when I say that I did like the Justice Society actors and characters. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Fate’s since I first saw his helmet in…

On the cover, Deadpool crawls along the ground in front of the guy with boxing gloves who knocked him down at the conclusion of the previous issue. Though this guy wears boxing gloves, and is a G.I. Joe action figure, I’m going to refer to him as Van Damme. A spectral image of Psylocke hovers in the background, a miasma of purple and white light. The title of this series - “Deadpool & Psylocke” - is visible at the top of the image, and the issue numbering (this is issue 3).

Deadpool & Psylocke #3!

Posted on March 12, 2025June 9, 2025 by phil.wrede

Well, I fell pretty far under the weather during the month of February, so I’m getting this comic (plus blog post) uploaded just under the wire (it’s the night of Monday, March 10, 2025, as I write this). It wasn’t COVID; I tested myself several times, just to be sure. I just managed to catch…

Deadpool and Psylocke pose next to each other on the cover of this comic, with a swirling tower of lights behind them. Three bright yet indistinct silhouettes stand between them and the tower of lights, appearing vaguely ominous. The title of this series - “Deadpool & Psylocke” - is visible at the top of the image, as well as the issue numbering (this is issue 2).

Deadpool & Psylocke #2!

Posted on February 12, 2025June 9, 2025 by phil.wrede

It was last June that I posted the first installment of this little tale, and finally, the second part is here! If you need a refresher… I’d suggest going back and reading it. It doesn’t take that long! Most of what I have to write in the text of this post has to do with…

Under the title of the comic series - “Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow” - a peaceful blue planet spins quietly in space, with the outline of an Imperial stormtrooper’s helmet lightly superimposed over it. Our heroine, Tyria D’Lace, stands brightly lit in the front of the image, while behind her, slightly shadowed, stand Princess Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. In the bottom left corner of the image, the words, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede,” are displayed.

Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow #1

Posted on January 15, 2025January 15, 2025 by phil.wrede

My toy comic journey began with a Star Wars comic, one that I started making because I absolutely couldn’t wait for more episodes of The Mandalorian, following the end of the first season. So, then, I hope it’s a little bit fitting for this next phase of storytelling on Pizzarat.net to begin with a new…

On the nighttime streets of New York City, Iron Man and the Black Widow pose dramatically, as they await further instructions from Reed Richards (AKA Mr. Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four). The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Dreaming of Funerals to Come’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, All-Investigative Avengers #167 – ‘Dreaming of Funerals to Come’

Posted on December 25, 2024December 23, 2024 by phil.wrede

Well, we’re finally here, after nearly four solid years of adventures in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe – from the launch of competing hero and villain apps, to the kidnapping of J. Jonah Jameson, to conspiracy-theory-addled protests outside Avengers Tower, to a fresh costume for Wolverine, to a rigged NYC mayoral election,…

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.
