I spent pretty much the entire production of the first big arc of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe trying to figure out which group of goons would succeed the A.I.M. agents, once their time in the spotlight was wrapped. HYDRA’s never been the most savory group of bad guys, in the first…
In my post for the last installment of this comic, I mentioned how formative Space Ghost: Coast to Coast was to my sense of humor. On the other side of the coin – my sense of dread – Disney’s The Black Hole probably holds a similar influential position. If you’ve not come across it before,…
There were probably a solid five minutes where Domino was actually excited to take over as the chairperson of the Avengers, before she realized how many meetings Iron Man held that she didn’t want to attend, and how many more meetings she didn’t have to attend. Video meetings with HR, and the police, and the…
Two of the earliest comics I remember buying at the grocery store are Avengers #332 (where Doctor Doom, in the guise of Iron Man, crashes an Avengers social function, and where, in the following issue, Rage tries to punch out Doctor Doom) and Amazing Spider-Man #354 (part two of “Round Robin: the Sidekick’s Revenge,” where…
It’s officially a wrap on the A.I.M. base adventure today, and with this ordeal concluded, we’re giving the name of the comic strip a little refresh, too! The Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe is still the same wild place it’s always been, just with a slightly different title on the first comic page!…
I really didn’t know what I was getting into when I started watching Cartoon Network in its earliest days. I wasn’t familiar with Space Ghost in his original incarnation, and so, when Space Ghost: Coast to Coast strolled onto my parents’ TV, I honestly didn’t know what was happening. I definitely couldn’t have predicted that…
Part 8 of the big A.I.M. base assault! The end, it’s here! Not that I want it to be over, but the machinations of The Leader and his crew of pawns are definitely reaching their logical conclusion (for now). If you’re starting your adventures in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe today, welcome,…
In Part 7 of the big A.I.M. base assault, the King of Wakanda, T’Chaka, confronts his estranged nephew, Erik Killmonger. Maybe both Black Panthers will find some closure today! If you haven’t already, now is a great time to get caught up with Parts One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six of this tale!
Here we are! Part 6 of the big A.I.M. base assault! The end of this battle (and this storyarc) is in sight!! Read Part 1, and Part 2, and Part 3, and Part 4, and certainly don’t forget Part 5 to get caught up! The Leader was one of the first Marvel antagonists that I…
Part 5 of the big A.I.M. base assault – it begins, here! Read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 here, if you like! It took a good long while for the ideal adversaries, Spider-Man and J. Jonah Jameson, to meet in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, but like every…
