To pick up and continue into the daylight portion of Spider-Man’s No Good, Very Bad Night…* You didn’t really think that Miles Morales’ heart-to-heart with Thor, God of Thunder and Encouragement, was going to be the end of his spider-voyage, did you? Neither did Thor, or Rage, or War Machine, or Sam Wilson, the high-flying…
My personal history with the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers goes back to the premiere of the series; I was exactly the right age to fall in love with the show. It was the perfect combination of stories of good friendship, martial arts fights with weird monsters, giant robots, vaguely cartoonish physical comedy, and a slightly…
Here, in Part 2 of the superhero defense of Ukraine, the Red Guardian and Sunfire hold the line against some more approaching tanks. Well, Red Guardian holds the line. Sunfire pretty much blows it up. I don’t have anything more sophisticated to write than I did for the first part. Like a lot of people,…
It looks like Domino is taking Lt. Governor Gerber’s talk about her polling numbers seriously, if she’s going to quit the Avengers again.* At least she’s responsible enough to only focus her energy on one big, world-changing project at a time; if Tony ran for mayor, he’d surely be trying to run the company and…
So, I’ve mentioned before that I set out to try and weave some elements from real life into these toy comic stories. It takes more to save the world than just punching bad guys, even though that’s what superheroes tend to be best at. Sometimes, however, punching a bad guy is exactly what the world…
![The Scarlet Witch sits silently in a park, staring off into space. Behind her, the Vision tentatively extends a hand towards her, but can’t bring himself to actually touch her. The effect is, hopefully, like a romance novel cover. The title of the comic strip, “All-New, Overworked Avengers Presents… ‘Burning Out [Her] Fuse Up Here Alone’,” is visible at the top of the page.](https://www.pizzarat.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/1-35.png)
This is, obviously, a real departure from the story of Spider-Man’s No Good, Very Bad Night that has been taking up the “main story” of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe for a while, now (read Parts 1, and 2, and 3, and 4, if you’d like). I would like to say that…
I guess U.S. Agent and Red Guardian are going to be the Thunderbolts movie together? Apparently, somebody at Marvel and I were on the same wavelength, for once! I doubt it’ll ever happen again! I’ve brought up my beloved West Coast Avengers a time or two before, as one of the guiding lights for the…
Welcome back, once again, to the “main story,” where we’re continuing to deal with the fallout from the Red Skull and HYDRA’s ambush of Spider-Man, and his resulting injuries, both physical and by the media! Now, today, we try to consider how a fallen hero might impact those who’ve looked up to him; in this…
I found a few more funny things around my desk for Skurge to add to his collection. I don’t break the “reality” of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe very often, but when I do, I hope the joke is worth it!
Ordinarily, guests come on talk shows to promote recent or upcoming projects. Thus far, in my revival of Space Ghost’s talk show, he’s had on the star of a failed cinematic universe kickoff (Bloodshot), a robot who appeared in one movie in 1979 (V.I.N.C.E.N.T.), and the protagonist of The Matrix (Neo). It’s somehow fitting, then,…
