So, after last week’s vacation-inspired detour into ROGERS, a standalone Captain America adventure (which could become a whole other ongoing project unto itself, depending on how much time I can set aside to work on it), we’re back to the main story in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Justin Hammer’s lazy trend-grubbing…
I’ve never read a single Jack Reacher book, so serious fans of the character might consider my opinion on the movie and TV adaptations invalid, but between the Tom Cruise movies, and the Amazon show, I definitely prefer the first of the movies. The first Jack Reacher is unhinged in a way I didn’t expect…
It turns out Miles Morales was right, all those months ago, when he worried about how unrestricted palladium mining in the Negative Zone would be felt by the beings already living there. If only Jay Hansen and S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn’t tried to cut the Avengers out of the palladium action; maybe Reed and Sue would be…
Well, the Beast finally did it! After years of complaining about his unfulfilling position at Stark Industries, he’s rejoined some of his fellow Xavier School alums at the secret X-Force base, ready to fight for mutant rights, or spring more political prisoners from confinement, or whatever it is they get up to. We haven’t really…
This comic began equally as a way for me to apply my love for comics, photography, and toys, as it was a way for me to wrestle with the state of the world that I feel broadly powerless to impact. In 2024, I said I wanted to tell more stories that considered the impact the…
One promise I can make, as the architect of all things Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, is that you’ll always get a payoff to a dramatic cliffhanger (and most dramatic teases, too)! It may take literal years to get that payoff, but it’ll happen! This week, for instance, we pick up where we…
We hinted at Agent Wurmser’s tragic backstory when he was originally introduced, but it’s taken a while to finally reveal it (and, if you’d like a hint of where I’d like to take his story, I’d recommend taking a look at the battles his namesake, Count von Wurmser, waged in 1796. If you know… when…
I wasn’t much of a Deadpool fan until the first movie. I hadn’t actually even planned to see the first one in the theater, but I had recently (in 2016, recently) gone to see some movie where the projector had broken, and the theater manager gave us all free passes to come back for another…
“This week, everything changes, and nothing will ever be the same again!” is a sentiment so well-worn in superhero comics circles that it’s lost all meaning. I’m not going to make such a bold claim here, today. I am, though, hopeful that one (maybe more?) of this comic’s developments was surprising to you, reading friend!…
The truth is revealed this week! Well, it was actually revealed last week, but Jay Hansen takes off his metal mask to formally reveal his identity this week. If Justin Hammer thought he had to work hard to win back the hearts and minds of the American people before, well… armored Jay Hansen, battling next…
