Escalating the aggression, and the toxicity, and the scale props from the last installment, hopefully this equates to an escalation of the comedy, too!
All-New, All-Business Avengers #80 – ‘Keep Fading, Keep Shining On’
I didn’t run a statistical analysis, or anything, but it feels like the Avengers almost always come out on top in a fight in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe. That’s not surprising, but after a certain point, it’s probably not all that exciting, either. When I was planning out this portion of…
Egghead, Egghead, no one should / Terrorize Gotham City’s neighborhoods!
The way I see it, when you have a chance to get a Vincent Price action figure, you really shouldn’t pass the opportunity up. That’s how this strip came to be. Sometimes, it’s not hard to see where inspiration comes from!
All-New, All-Business Avengers #79 – ‘Keep Searching, Keep Pushing On’
“Nothing can prevent [Moon Knight] and [Spider-Woman] from having a pleasant night on the town… Oh, yeah?” to borrow from the cover to Captain America #371. It’s almost like the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have been lying in wait, to strike just when the Avengers were finally having a good time! I found the Ned & Peter…
All-New, All-Business Avengers #78 – ‘Keep Breathing, Keep Living’
I wanted to make sure I didn’t let the Living Lightning sit around without anything new to do, after I put so much time into preparing for his introduction to the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Even though he’s got to be more than twice the age of any of his fellow Young…
Zarana the Teenage Terrorist #1 – “Dad is Half the Battle!”
Because I grew up in the 80s and 90s, I spent a lot of time watching cartoons and sitcoms. So, what I present to you here is kind of a blend of those two storytelling forms, filtered through my preferred toy comic medium. It’s kind of in the spirit of the GI JOE PSA parodies…
All-New, All-Business Avengers #77 – ‘Has the Light Gone Out for You?’
It didn’t take long for the Avengers to respond to the distress call from the Vault, did it? Certainly, a better response time than I was able to manage in keeping up with the activity of Edwin Cord and his unwilling army in 2022! Now, strictly speaking, the Leader was never imprisoned in the Vault;…
All-New, All-Business Avengers #76 – ‘The Big Fish Eat The Little Ones’
I’m always on the lookout for “characters” to add to the case of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe who aren’t standard-issue super-powered people. NECA figures (like the police chief, here) are pretty excellent for this; I’ve sung the praises of the Dr. Who figures that I’ve put in the city and state…
All-New, All-Business Avengers #75 – ‘You Know Better Than I Do’
If you thought the Avengers were going to get a break after the commotion of the Holiday Adventure… I don’t know what sort of superhero comics you’ve been reading all these years! It’s been a while since we really paid much mind to The Vault, the prison for super-criminals in the Rocky Mountains, and X-Force’s…
All-New, All-Seasonal Avengers #74 – ‘For Goodness’ Sake’
Well, after six installments, we’re here, at the conclusion of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe’s 2022 Holiday Adventure! It’s not of the same production quality as the Hawkeye show, I admit, but I think everybody had a good time. Well, not most of the HYDRA goons, or the Shocker, or the Hobgoblin,…
