The Atom Smasher (from the Black Adam film) stands at his normal height before the towering Super-Adaptoid, his head barely at the same height as the android’s belt. “You’re the what?” Atom Smasher asks. “Super-Adaptoid,” it answers.

Atom Smasher Versus… The Super-Adaptoid!!

I don’t think I’m saying anything new when I say that I didn’t like the Black Adam movie very much, nor do I think I’m blazing new territory when I say that I did like the Justice Society actors and characters. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Fate’s since I first saw his helmet in…

On the cover, Deadpool crawls along the ground in front of the guy with boxing gloves who knocked him down at the conclusion of the previous issue. Though this guy wears boxing gloves, and is a G.I. Joe action figure, I’m going to refer to him as Van Damme. A spectral image of Psylocke hovers in the background, a miasma of purple and white light. The title of this series - “Deadpool & Psylocke” - is visible at the top of the image, and the issue numbering (this is issue 3).

Deadpool & Psylocke #3!

Well, I fell pretty far under the weather during the month of February, so I’m getting this comic (plus blog post) uploaded just under the wire (it’s the night of Monday, March 10, 2025, as I write this). It wasn’t COVID; I tested myself several times, just to be sure. I just managed to catch…

Deadpool and Psylocke pose next to each other on the cover of this comic, with a swirling tower of lights behind them. Three bright yet indistinct silhouettes stand between them and the tower of lights, appearing vaguely ominous. The title of this series - “Deadpool & Psylocke” - is visible at the top of the image, as well as the issue numbering (this is issue 2).

Deadpool & Psylocke #2!

It was last June that I posted the first installment of this little tale, and finally, the second part is here! If you need a refresher… I’d suggest going back and reading it. It doesn’t take that long! Most of what I have to write in the text of this post has to do with…

Under the title of the comic series - “Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow” - a peaceful blue planet spins quietly in space, with the outline of an Imperial stormtrooper’s helmet lightly superimposed over it. Our heroine, Tyria D’Lace, stands brightly lit in the front of the image, while behind her, slightly shadowed, stand Princess Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. In the bottom left corner of the image, the words, “A toy comic by Phil Wrede,” are displayed.

Star Wars: Endor’s Shadow #1

My toy comic journey began with a Star Wars comic, one that I started making because I absolutely couldn’t wait for more episodes of The Mandalorian, following the end of the first season. So, then, I hope it’s a little bit fitting for this next phase of storytelling on Pizzarat.net to begin with a new…

On the nighttime streets of New York City, Iron Man and the Black Widow pose dramatically, as they await further instructions from Reed Richards (AKA Mr. Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four). The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Dreaming of Funerals to Come’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, All-Investigative Avengers #167 – ‘Dreaming of Funerals to Come’

Well, we’re finally here, after nearly four solid years of adventures in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe – from the launch of competing hero and villain apps, to the kidnapping of J. Jonah Jameson, to conspiracy-theory-addled protests outside Avengers Tower, to a fresh costume for Wolverine, to a rigged NYC mayoral election,…

The Starjammers’ Captain America (Frank Simpson, who we’ve confirmed is definitely not Captain America) rushes at Ironheart on the streets of New York City, trying to interrupt her transmission of the Starjammers’ secret recordings. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘New Old Challengers’,” is visible at the top of the image.

Apologies for missing a week of comics, everybody! I got thrown for a loop by… just an obnoxious sickness. I’ve recovered – thank goodness – and we’re back to our regularly scheduled toy comic this week. I told you we’d get back to the messy action inside the Baxter Building, didn’t I?

Iron Man (in his Extremis armor) and Captain America (in his Winter Soldier costume) pose dramatically in the nighttime streets of New York City. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Secrets Within Secrets’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, All-Investigate Avengers #165 – ‘Secrets Within Secrets’

To hear Jay Hansen tell it, he’s basically Tony Stark and Nick Fury, wrapped up into one guy! But, the billionaire’s side of the story isn’t the whole truth (shocking!). All this, plus the long-awaited origin of the Starjammers’ Captain America, to boot! It’s probably asking for trouble, making even a brief speech that barely…

In a dark, round hallway, Jay Hansen raises his arms high, declaring, “I’m putting together a team… with a particular set of skills!” The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Secrets of the Starjammers’,” is visible at the top of the image.

While Corsair made his first solo appearance in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe about a year and a half ago, it took a little longer for the Starjammers proper to start throwing their weight around. Corsair’s been a problematic figure from the jump, which has hopefully made anybody who associates with him…

Jay Hansen, Nebula, and the Starjammers’ phony Captain America stand in a line next to one another in the nighttime streets of New York City. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Guilt Had Forced Her to Land’,” is visible at the top of the image.

It’s been a little while since we last saw Iron Man in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, and even longer since an appearance by the real Captain America! I don’t know – do you guys* think things are about to get even more serious?? Hey, if it’s your first time here at…

On the New York City streets, the Fabulous Frog-Man faces off against the laser-rifle-carrying Jay Hansen. The Frog-Man is trying to talk Hansen into lowering his weapon. The title of this comic, “All-New, All-Investigative Avengers Presents… ‘Hang Her Wings by the Door’,” is visible at the top of the image.

All-New, All-Investigative Avengers #162 – ‘Hang Her Wings by the Door’

To familiar readers, this probably doesn’t look much like the start of a new storyarc in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, and that’s pretty true; this comic strip is very much a continuation of the last several months of strips! However, this is the start of a newly focused period in the…

Welcome to PizzaRat dot Net, where I (Phil Wrede) post my toy comics!

The Idea

Comics, but with photos, instead of drawings.

The Process

Using stock photos as backgrounds, and digitally pasting photos of action figures over them. Graphic design software enables the lettering.

The Point

To make comics, to share stories, and to retroactively justify all the money I've spent on action figures over the years.
