One promise I can make, as the architect of all things Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, is that you’ll always get a payoff to a dramatic cliffhanger (and most dramatic teases, too)! It may take literal years to get that payoff, but it’ll happen! This week, for instance, we pick up where we…
We hinted at Agent Wurmser’s tragic backstory when he was originally introduced, but it’s taken a while to finally reveal it (and, if you’d like a hint of where I’d like to take his story, I’d recommend taking a look at the battles his namesake, Count von Wurmser, waged in 1796. If you know… when…
I wasn’t much of a Deadpool fan until the first movie. I hadn’t actually even planned to see the first one in the theater, but I had recently (in 2016, recently) gone to see some movie where the projector had broken, and the theater manager gave us all free passes to come back for another…
“This week, everything changes, and nothing will ever be the same again!” is a sentiment so well-worn in superhero comics circles that it’s lost all meaning. I’m not going to make such a bold claim here, today. I am, though, hopeful that one (maybe more?) of this comic’s developments was surprising to you, reading friend!…
The truth is revealed this week! Well, it was actually revealed last week, but Jay Hansen takes off his metal mask to formally reveal his identity this week. If Justin Hammer thought he had to work hard to win back the hearts and minds of the American people before, well… armored Jay Hansen, battling next…
I’m disappointed in S.H.I.E.L.D. for cutting in line ahead of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers (at, presumably Jay Hansen’s prodding), so it’s kind of satisfying to see them getting their butts kicked by the Annihilation Reavers. Well, for now. We’ll see how I’m feeling as the consequences unfold, I suppose! Ever since his introduction,…
Welcome back, friends, to the next (hopefully iconic) installment of All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers! A new storyarc begins right here, right now! We’ve (finally) returned to the Negative Zone, to continue the search for the palladium reserves that just might enable Tony Stark and Reed Richards to save the world! Plus, the long-brewing arrival of the…
Justin Hammer’s finally come out of hiding, after his disastrous gala! Iron Man, Cap, and Jocasta move on to the next phase of Tony’s (modified, now) plan to mess with the Daily Bugle! We peer into the Negative Zone for the first time, since last September (and, a hat tip to anybody who picked up…
I’d love to say that this momentary Jocasta-Iron Man-Captain America love triangle was part of the plan, when I initially hatched the Daily Bugle disinformation scheme, but the story took itself in a different direction. One might call it a… Marvel’s Civil War-esque direction (in the most generous way). Famously, the “honeymoon” period for new…
I don’t think we’ve seen Luis since the Hammer Gala; I feel terrible for leaving him out of the story for so long! That’s what you get when your cast balloons to dozens (maybe over a hundred, by this point), I guess! I never intended for this interlude section of the story to run on…
