Here, I present the last of my short comic interludes between the “main” story of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe. There were sixteen of them; I don’t think that’s a bad run, not at all! The primary reason for dialing back my… posting schedule, I guess you could call it, was that…
All-New, All-Remote Avengers #21 – ‘Deftly Maneuver’
Here we are, Part 4 of the big A.I.M. base assault! See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 here, if you like! Domino’s had to put up with a lot of crap over the course of this comic, I think we can all agree on that. Not having her priorities taken seriously by leadership…
Marvel Short #15 – Quantum Currency Conundrum
The first time that Thor and Ant-Man hung out in this comic, it set my characterization of Thor on a trajectory so specific that I had to make a whole series of short comic strips to explore the possibilities of that character as thoroughly as I could. This second time… it’s definitely more joke-y than…
All-New, All-Remote Avengers #20 – ‘Churning and Burning’
Welcome to Part 3 of the big A.I.M. base assault! See Part 1 and Part 2 here, if you like! There’s nothing that I can write about Chadwick Boseman that hasn’t already been written or said, better than I can write or say it. I hope that, in my little corner of the internet, that…
Marvel Short #14 – Literature Vs. Performing Arts
Of all the things that Taika Waititi has brought to the Thor movies, my very favorite thing has been the troupe of Asgardian actors, who play out such splendidly overwrought versions of the events of the Thor movies that I’m overwhelmed by their charm. It helps that Sam Neill’s been one of the Asgardian players,…
All-New, All-Remote Avengers #19 – ‘Engines Pumping and Thumping in Time’
Welcome back to All-New, All-Remote* Avengers for Part 2 of the big A.I.M. base assault! Read Part 1 here, again or for the first time, if you like! I’ll be the first to admit that my toy comics aren’t the most “cinematic” comics out there, regardless of the form and materials used to produce them….
Marvel Short #13 – Setting Boundaries
I reckon there’s very little chance for Thor and Red Guardian to encounter one another in the future of the MCU, and I think that’s a darn shame. David Harbour and Chris Hemsworth are both such talented comedic performers, and Alexi and Thor could have such fantastic story-swapping and eating/drinking contests that I think it…
All-New, All-Remote Avengers #18 – ‘Reluctantly Crouched at the Starting Line’
Here we are, the beginning of the big A.I.M base assault! Originally, I posted the comics in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe to Instagram, and so the formatting and page count of many of these comics was done to fit the Instagram limitations.* So, numerous large-scale fight scenes are done over multiple…
Marvel Short #12 – Anger Management
Like numerous Elder Millennials(TM), the most impactful introduction to Marvel Comics that I had growing up was the X-Men animated series. Literal books have been written about that show – and The Art and Making of the Animated Series book is very good, indeed – so I won’t try to compose my own brief history…
All-New, All-Remote Avengers #17 – ‘Everybody Needs Somebody’
When your heroes have a fight, they’ve got to make up. It’s a comics storytelling rule, for sure, and probably in stories, generally, too. War Machine and Iron Man have shouted at each other and forgiven one another so many times that they’ve probably both lost count by now. At least they’re comfortable enough that…
