I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big fan of Julia Carpenter’s Spider-Woman; there was an annual issue of Avengers West Coast (looks like #7, from a cursory internet search) where she was at the old Stapleton Airport* in Denver, and rescued an airplane that was careening off the runway in a winter storm. Julia had…
It’s not an Avengers story if the tension of an in-group argument isn’t cut by some somber news, right?
I like this fight scene, by and large. I especially like the Falcon using his wings as an offensive weapon, and the little “motion” accessory stand for Cap’s shield. Speaking of Cap… What an addition to the cast today, huh? Captain America was my favorite Marvel superhero for years, and years, and years (probably still…
Plenty of digital and actual ink has been spilled about The Matrix, enough that I don’t need to add my voice to whatever chorus is loudest at this particular moment. I do, however, think that I need to take Space Ghost’s trip down memory lane here to its most ridiculous conclusion, and recreate some scenes…
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…
