It took just about seventeen months, but Kate Neville’s finally getting her own super-powered day in the sun (or whatever it is that produces the light over the Negative Zone)! I can’t say that I had this exact stop along the way of her ultimate story planned out from the first time we met her…
My goodness – we’ve arrived at one hundred and fifty (150!) installments of the “main” story here of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe! Back in #100 (July 2023), Domino and War Machine were amicably breaking up, and Tony Stark was just beginning his (short-lived) relationship with Jocasta. Remember any of those moments?…
We’re finally entering the phase of the Kirby/Stryker showdown where the ideological lines are being drawn, where the two candidates start differentiating themselves in more meaningful ways than “doesn’t much care for mutants” (Kirby) and “actively wants to exterminate mutants” (Stryker). I know whose side I’m on, if these are the only two choices. I…
Thanks to my post-vacation sickness, we took a detour from the main story in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe last week to the nonspecific parallel Earth where Jimmy Woo is the Spectacular Spider-Protector! I hope you enjoyed reading it; I sure enjoyed putting it together (long before I got ill, anyway)! Now,…
My take on Jimmy-Woo-as-Spider-Man, I first introduced in March of 2023 (and he’s come back a couple times, since), but my original idea dates back to whenever I found out there was going to be a Jimmy Woo action figure. I’m a big fan of Randall Park, as I’ve mentioned before; beyond that apparently immortal…
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…
