Inside of Avengers Tower, Tony Stark stands with his back to a door, and his hand protectively over his heart. “I’ve walked into an ambush,” he says. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, Overworked Avengers Presents… ‘Tell Me Why’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, Overworked Avengers #60 – ‘Tell Me Why’

Posted on August 31, 2022September 19, 2023 by phil.wrede

Picking up right where we left off in the last installment of the “main story,” Tony Stark gets to make his case to King T’Challa of Wakanda – and the prince and princess – about why he should be able to reacquire the Avengers, after giving them away so speedily before. I have to observe…

Andros, the Space Ranger, sits on a couch, bemoaning, “The dream monster! It’s always chasing me!” The title of this comic strip, “R*A*N*G*E*R*S in… ‘Go Go Roommate Crisis! [Part 2]’,” is visible at the top of the image. The R*A*N*G*E*R*S logo is stylized to resemble the logo for the TV show FRIENDS.

What is there to say this time, except that Andros probably pushed his luck a little too hard?

Trini, the Yellow Ranger, and Kimberly, the Pink Ranger, stand next to one another somewhat nervously. Trini asks, “Is Andros still asleep?” The title of this comic strip, “R*A*N*G*E*R*S in… ‘Go Go Roommate Crisis!’,” is visible at the top of the image. The R*A*N*G*E*R*S logo is stylized to resemble the logo for the TV show FRIENDS.

After not appearing in the last R*A*N*G*E*R*S strip, Andros makes his return in this installment! I feel a little bad for making a bunch of unfounded assumptions about the leader of the Power Rangers in Space, based exclusively on the cloak with which his action figure was outfitted, but you can’t control how inspiration strikes,…

At a break in their campaigning action, Domino and NYC's Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel Comics editor/writer Mark Gruenwald) sneak off to speak with secret allies who have information to offer. Domino meets with NYPD Detective McDuffie (who's named for comics/animation writer/creator Dwayne McDuffie), while the Mayor meets with a HYDRA agent!

Welcome to Part 3 of the Election Season story! Please, feel free to take a look at Part 1 and Part 2, if you like! If you were wondering just how far the Mayor was willing to go to win his electoral battle against Domino… wonder no longer!

The title image for this comic strip. The series is called “Destro & Son” (slightly styled to resemble the logo for the TV show “Sanford & Son), with profile images of both the COBRA-affiliated terrorist Destro, and the mechanical soldier known as a B.A.T. The title of this particular comic strip, “Do Unto Others!” is visible at the bottom of the image.

If the B.A.T. made its gun out of spare parts it found in Destro’s workshop, that means we’ve got ourselves a Dr. Soong -> Data -> Lal-type situation going on at COBRA HQ, doesn’t it?

War Machine, Domino, the Falcon, the Black Widow, Rage, and Thor stand on the landing platform at the rooftop of Avengers Tower, looking up into the sky. The title of the comic strip, “All-New, Overworked Avengers Presents… ‘I Want It That Way’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, Overworked Avengers #59 – ‘I Want It That Way’

It’s been a while since Iron Man proper last showed up in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe – just about 14 months, in fact! Tony Stark took a real vacation, at least from super-heroics, even though he’s made some appearances via StarkComm video meetings. Ever the showman, Stark’s making his grand return…

As Domino and NYC's Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel Comics editor/writer Mark Gruenwald) tour a campaign site in Central Park, the agitator couple Audrey and Gordon Tator chant off to the side: "Hey hey! Ho ho! The-global-elite-Satanic-conspiracy-has-got-to-go!" at them. The Mayor calls his security detail on the couple, who run away.

One of the things that I appreciate about the (current – no spoilers) mayor is that he can be pragmatic, and usually recognizes who the greater threat is. Even though he and Domino are competitors, she doesn’t think he’s a… well, whatever the conspiracy theory du jour is! For her part, Domino is a woman…

Outside of a Stark Industries warehouse, War Machine stands patiently as Spider-Man swings down to meet him. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, Overworked Avengers Presents… ‘I’m Still Alive’,” is visible at the bottom of the image.

All-New, Overworked Avengers #58 – ‘I’m Still Alive’

Posted on August 3, 2022September 19, 2023 by phil.wrede

Spider-Man’s road to recovery from his No Good, Very Bad Night has been kind of a protracted one – from the moment of his injury to his subsequent rescue – and it’s one for which he’s not been on-panel! A lot of people have talked about him, and about what he means to them, but…

Domino and NYC Mayor Gruenwald (named for longtime Marvel comics editor/writer Mark Gruenwald) tour a debate site for the upcoming election. The Mayor accuses Domino of not understanding the electorate; Domino counters with the fact that only 20% of voters turned out to vote for him in the last election.

Welcome to the first in a series of short comics that get up close and personal with Domino’s campaign for mayor! I’ve plotted these out pretty carefully, and I think I should be able to do one installment, every other week, and time the “election day” installment pretty closely to the actual 2022 election day…

The title image for this comic strip. The series is called “Destro & Son” (slightly styled to resemble the logo for the TV show “Sanford & Son), with profile images of both the COBRA-affiliated terrorist Destro, and the mechanical soldier known as a B.A.T. The title of this particular comic strip, “My Creation!” is visible at the bottom of the image.

Destro & Son #1 – “My Creation!”

The Profit Director Destro action figure is, I think, a spectacular-looking action figure, and when I saw it for the very first time, I thought of about a dozen different stories I wanted to tell with him. Thanks to some unexpected free time this past weekend, I was able to start one of those stories!

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.
