The Hammer Gala has turned from a formal celebration into quite the raucous affair, since the last time we visited it! Villains galore are crashing the party! I wonder if Justin Hammer is enjoying watching the Avengers struggle to defend his home enough to offset the heartache he’s surely feeling as his property falls under…

All-New, All-Eventful Avengers #110 – ‘Only to Burn Up Both Our Hands’
Welcome back to Justin Hammer’s fall ball (AKA the Hammer Gala), or, to the exterior of it, anyway! It only makes sense that the Avengers would be doing some security for the event, and that a few Young Avengers, like Kate Bishop and Frog-Man, would get the chance to log a few practicum hours. It’s…
All-New, All-Eventful Avengers #109 – ‘We Continue to Chase the Sun’
After a couple of weeks of place-setting, we’re here, now, at Justin Hammer’s Fall Ball (more appropriately, the “Hammer Gala”)! Tony and Jocasta really step out with his high-society peers tonight; let’s see how they do! One of the fun problems about having a “cast” of characters that’s deep, and a list of story ideas…
Marvel Short #57 – The Man Behind the Iron Mask!
Last week’s short comic actually helped me realize that we need a little more context before diving into the next storyarc of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, so here, have another one! I need more time to properly angle all my photos for the next full-length comic strip, anyway…
Marvel Short #56 – A scheme, perhaps!
I got so wrapped up in trying to get the website up and running for real that I had to reconfigure my comic posting schedule. It’s a short joke comic this week, but it’s one I’ve been planning for a while!
All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers #108 – ‘You’re So Lucky To Be Alive’
And just like that, here we are, at the conclusion of this Fantastic Four-centric storyarc of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe (please, take a look at parts one, two, and three, if you haven’t already – or, even if you have)… Now that they’ve made their grand appearance, the FF aren’t going…
All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers #107 – ‘You Might Be Able to Drive’
We’ve met the whole Fantastic Four! We’ve learned about their mission! Now, we’ve got to go to the Negative Zone! To take on a Fantastic Four story is, I think, to attempt to do justice to the King: Jack Kirby. A visionary artist, whose influence on visual media is nigh impossible to calculate, as well…
All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers #106 – ‘Keep Your Eyes on the Road’
This second entry (read the first here) in the initial Fantastic Four-centric arc of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe brings with it another entry of my opinions about the Fantastic Four! I told you I had a lot of them. While what resonated with me about the FF initially was the drama…
All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers #105 – ‘Haste Creates Waste’
This is a big deal for me, this week’s comic strip. Not only do I get to introduce the rest of the Fantastic Four (Reed had a line of dialogue in the inaugural “No Sleep ‘Til Jonah” post), but I’m also trying to take better advantage of the storytelling flexibility I have here on the…
All-New, All-Defamed Avengers #104 – ‘Visit Me In My Dreams’
So, basically, this strip, and my blended version of the Guardians and the Starjammers (which I’m intending to just call the Starjammers) came out of wanting to expand the presence of conspiracy theories and those who hawk them in the comic. Sure, we have some folks who love to do that already, but there’s a…
