If you’re a longtime reader of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, and you’re getting suspicious that I’m trying to pull together nearly every long-dangling plot thread that I can think of into this next arc of the story… Well, I’m going to do my best! My notebook of ideas keeps getting more…

I don’t think I’ve ever changed the prefix of the title mid-storyarc before, but we’ve long since lost the thread of Justin Hammer’s attempt to stripmine Jocasta’s brain for his own LLM software product, so I thought it was time to accept that the story’s gone off in its own direction. Sometimes stories do that,…

In the Negative Zone, former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Kate Neville struggles to come to grips with the transformation inflicted upon her by the palladium ore. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers Presents, ‘Calling In More Than We Can’,” is visible at the top of the image.

Well, after a couple months, Agent Wurmser finally rears his head again, out for some fresh revenge! If he didn’t hate the Avengers so much, he’d be a great asset to the team (thematically speaking, anyway). And… HYDRA! We haven’t seen a HYDRA agent since the start of the year! It’s almost like… things are…

The Super-Skrull punches the Human Torch clean out of the air, as they battle in the lobby of the Baxter Building, the headquarters of the Fantastic Four.

It took just about seventeen months, but Kate Neville’s finally getting her own super-powered day in the sun (or whatever it is that produces the light over the Negative Zone)! I can’t say that I had this exact stop along the way of her ultimate story planned out from the first time we met her…

On the streets of New York City, the Scorpion catches the Black Widow across her midsection with a strike from his mechanical tail weapon. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers Presents… ‘We Case Our Lines Into an Ocean’,” is visible at the top of the image.

My goodness – we’ve arrived at one hundred and fifty (150!) installments of the “main” story here of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Back in #100 (July 2023), Domino and War Machine were amicably breaking up, and Tony Stark was just beginning his (short-lived) relationship with Jocasta. Remember any of those moments?…

The android Jocasta faces off against a Doombot in the middle of a New York City street. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Intelligent Avengers Presents… ‘Exactly Where I Most Belong’,” is visible at the top of the image.

We’re finally entering the phase of the Kirby/Stryker showdown where the ideological lines are being drawn, where the two candidates start differentiating themselves in more meaningful ways than “doesn’t much care for mutants” (Kirby) and “actively wants to exterminate mutants” (Stryker). I know whose side I’m on, if these are the only two choices. I…

Inside the Baxter Building (the headquarters of the Fantastic Four), Johnny Storm can barely control his flame powers at the sound of the building’s alert siren sounding.

Thanks to my post-vacation sickness, we took a detour from the main story in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe last week to the nonspecific parallel Earth where Jimmy Woo is the Spectacular Spider-Protector! I hope you enjoyed reading it; I sure enjoyed putting it together (long before I got ill, anyway)! Now,…

Spider-Protector (which is what I call my Jimmy Woo version of the Japanese Spider-Man, for the sake of differentiation) faces off against Venom. Above them looms Spider-Protector’s gigantic robot buddy, LEO-SP//DR, and above him looms a tall bridge. The title of this comic, “The Spectacular Spider-Protector,” and the issue number (1) are visible at the top of the image.

My take on Jimmy-Woo-as-Spider-Man, I first introduced in March of 2023 (and he’s come back a couple times, since), but my original idea dates back to whenever I found out there was going to be a Jimmy Woo action figure. I’m a big fan of Randall Park, as I’ve mentioned before; beyond that apparently immortal…
