I’m disappointed in S.H.I.E.L.D. for cutting in line ahead of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers (at, presumably Jay Hansen’s prodding), so it’s kind of satisfying to see them getting their butts kicked by the Annihilation Reavers. Well, for now. We’ll see how I’m feeling as the consequences unfold, I suppose! Ever since his introduction,…
Welcome back, friends, to the next (hopefully iconic) installment of All-New, All-Fantastic Avengers! A new storyarc begins right here, right now! We’ve (finally) returned to the Negative Zone, to continue the search for the palladium reserves that just might enable Tony Stark and Reed Richards to save the world! Plus, the long-brewing arrival of the…
Justin Hammer’s finally come out of hiding, after his disastrous gala! Iron Man, Cap, and Jocasta move on to the next phase of Tony’s (modified, now) plan to mess with the Daily Bugle! We peer into the Negative Zone for the first time, since last September (and, a hat tip to anybody who picked up…
I’d love to say that this momentary Jocasta-Iron Man-Captain America love triangle was part of the plan, when I initially hatched the Daily Bugle disinformation scheme, but the story took itself in a different direction. One might call it a… Marvel’s Civil War-esque direction (in the most generous way). Famously, the “honeymoon” period for new…
I don’t think we’ve seen Luis since the Hammer Gala; I feel terrible for leaving him out of the story for so long! That’s what you get when your cast balloons to dozens (maybe over a hundred, by this point), I guess! I never intended for this interlude section of the story to run on…
I know I said that last week’s comic was the “interlude” in the main story, before it spiraled almost completely out of control, but I wanted to have more discussion and place-setting this week, so the interlude continues! Some of this desire is almost certainly due to X-Men ’97 getting all up in my brain;…
I alluded to this week’s comic being something of an interlude in the “main story” of the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, but it ballooned into something larger than I anticipated, when I made that claim! It picks up dangling plot threads from months and months ago (we haven’t seen Kingo since last…
The true power behind the Starjammers, finally revealed, and it’s… a character original to the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe (even though he’s “played” by an action figure of David Xanatos from the Gargoyles cartoon, and named for my friend Jon Hansen)! What a twist! A third billionaire has entered the battle! What’s…
Here it is, the battle that we (or I, at least) have been anticipating for months, ever since they first met! Captain America versus Captain America! One, bearing a philosophy that speaks to our better nature (our ideals, even). The other, wielding the classic justifications of the oppressor! Who will come out on top? Will…
It’s been a bit since the Starjammers last appeared, and their mystery Captain America squared off against the real deal! Their roster seems to have grown (again!), but will their agenda ever, finally be revealed? We’re closer now than we’ve ever been before! Maybe it’ll be the Fabulous Frog-Man, who uncovers the mystery, once again!…
