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…
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…
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…
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…
If you’ve read too many comics (if there is such a thing?), I assume that you have favorite versions of particular characters. It’s one of the fun parts about comics, getting to read different creators’ takes on the same character/team/ensemble over decades. What interests one creative team about a character might be wildly different form…
The Leader’s doomed-from-the-start bombing of the video call was a moment I’d had in my head since the early days of this storyline. The fact that he kidnapped the least tech-savvy, least cinematically-fluent internet personality that he could find – J. Jonah Jameson – was the icing on the cake of this failed moment of…
I feel like it’s an unspoken (until now, anyway) rule of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe that everybody likes pizza. No matter what word in your language you have for it, or the ingredients you prefer atop it, the food dish that is pizza has a galactic, universal, multiversal appeal!
I may be a little too pleased with how this comic turned out, but at the time I completed it, it was probably my favorite one, to date. Everything just came together, from the character poses, to the dialogue (Jonah and The Leader did a surprisingly good job of bouncing off each other), and the…
Briefly, I really enjoyed Thor and Captain Marvel’s interactions in Endgame. I wanted more of them, and I wanted a way to use some of the amazing stellar photography that NASA and JPL make available on their websites, so this strip basically wrote itself, once I started posing the characters together.
I really liked Domino in Deadpool 2, but when I started this comic project, I would not have predicted that she’d have become such a major player in my stories. Obviously, Zazie Beetz perfectly played Domino’s exasperation with the stupid situations unspooling around her in Deadpool 2; if there’s a single character from the Fox…
