I Miss Foggy Man
SPOILERS for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 5!
I miss Foggy Nelson man. Episode 5 of Born Again was mostly a flashback, and we got Foggy back for a brief time. I’m telling you, his chemistry with Matt was like riding a bike, for a minute I was back in the Netflix show (the aspect ratio for the flashbacks changed to resemble it and everything!) It’s just… having Foggy makes the distinct lack of Foggy in the present day even more, well, distinct.
It was the Foggy/Matt dynamic that carried the original show. One of the best, most tense episodes was when Foggy figured out Matt was Daredevil, because you cared about the friendship so much, they sold it so well, that you as an audience member were terrified how Matt keeping this from Foggy would affect them. I’m telling you man, killing Foggy in season 1 has to be their biggest mistake. I miss Foggy!
I miss Wesley too man. Killing Wesley in season 1 of the Netflix show was their second biggest mistake. He was the best henchman of all time. There when Fisk needed him, taking care of literally any problem that arose in a timely and calculated manner. Do you remember that scene when Fisk was crashing out and Wesley brought Vanessa to him? Because that’s the kind of guy Wesley was. Then that bum Karen blew him away. I loved Wesley man.
And we got him back in episode 5 as well! For even just a little bit, we had Wesley once again. All of his scenes were in the back seat of a car, and he still left just as much of an impact. When he answered the phone with “This is Wesley.” Chills having my guy back, again, seamlessly sliding back into his role. I will say though, Buck (or, as the internet is calling him, British Wesley) has been growing on me, but the scene in this episode revealing Wesley knew Buck, and relied on him for jobs for Kingpin? It’s almost like, Buck now has Wesley’s seal of approval, in a manner of speaking, and now, I’m completely okay with Buck as Fisk’s right hand guy. I still miss Wesley though man.
I miss Ben Urich man. Killing him in season 1 of the Netflix show was their first biggest mistake. The biggest fumble of the entirety of the Netflix show, in my humble opinion. Not only is he a really big comic character, but he was cast and acted perfectly. Perfectly! I LOVED Ben Urich. And then they killed him.
We have BB now. I like BB, I like this fake Fisk thing she’s doing, and I appreciate her connection to Ben, but man, Ben Urich was a force. Maybe BB will get there one day, but until she gets that “seal of approval” moment that Buck got, I’ll always miss Ben. I hope she does something huge by the end of the show!
I miss Vanessa man. I think… well… she did have Foggy killed, she wasn’t really a good person, it really was a matter of time until she died (like in the comics). But like, without her Fisk is going to set the city on fire. Like, I’m actually scared of what’s going to happen to Daredevil, and all of the other vigilantes in New York. Dang Vanessa drinking her dang pineapple juice then just peacing out, now no one in New York is safe. No one.
Okay, I just wanted to vent. Bring back Foggy, bring back Wesley, bring back Ben, and for the sake of all the superheroes in New York, we should probably bring back Vanessa too. That is all. Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse.
Hasbro Please… Don’t do this on the First Marvel Rivals Spider-Man Figure!
So I was very, VERY, excited about this new Marvel Legends Rivals Spider-Man figure. I was even willing to overlook the outdated articulation, because he looks really good. But… I have another, really big concern. Look.
Do you see it?
Look closely.
For the uninitiated, notice that any picture with an open hand is on his left, and any picture with a Thwipping hand is on his right. He has pictures with two fists though. Exhibit A:
This leads me to very nervously believe that he only has one Thwipping hand and one open hand. Which, for the only Marvel Legends Marvel Rivals figure that’s going to be on the market, is a very, very big problem. I am desperately hoping since we haven’t seen their packaging yet that they include two of each set of hand and this post ages like bad milk. But… maybe that’s just why we haven’t seen the packaging…
The Punisher, Luna Snow, Moon Knight and Venom all look phenomenal! (Jeff is a statue, literally inexcusable for a line that has done Lockjaw, Cosmo and Zabu.) But I’m telling you, if this Spider-Man has an incomplete set of hands… dang, they know I have choice but to buy it if I want a Rivals Spider-Man, but I will be VERY LOUD ABOUT IT!!!!
Let’s hope that’s not the case. Fingers crossed. Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!

Face Front 2025 Showcase
Hey there True Believers and welcome to the Face Front 2025 Showcase! This show is full of updates, sneak peeks, and announcements for some of the things you can expect from Face Front in the year 2025!
The End of the Marvel Universe Part 4: Devourer of Worlds
We’re starting out with the next immediate Face Front Original: The End of the Marvel Universe Part 4: Devourer of Worlds. Ever since fans discovered that Peter’s world, Earth-84061, the original Face Front Universe, had been destroyed, the question on everyone’s mind was: How? The End of the Marvel Universe series set out to explain not only major differences between the Face Front Universe and the MCU, but to answer this question that has puzzled viewers for years. Though it’s been referenced here and there, we will finally see the climactic battle between the last Avenger, Captain Marvel, and the world-eating threat to the entire Marvel Universe, Galactus! The End of the Marvel Universe Part 4: Devourer of Worlds is in development now and coming soon to Face Front.
Rise of the X-Men
Next, I want to address what’s going on with Rise of the X-Men. This was meant to be my next project, but due to the nature of the story, I was running into timeline issues, primarily where to fit it into the Face Front Universe without screwing up the established canon. I’ve since fixed the problem, but it requires a rework of the script to fit the video within the new context. It hasn’t gone completely back to the drawing board, I am still able to keep most of what I had planned, but it will take some time to rework the story.
That said, I would like to reveal this new image above from the project, featuring the team I plan to use. Yes, the X-Men from the 90’s animated series will the primary team in Rise of the X-Men. They are the ones I grew up and had always planned the story for. But this does not mean that some other mutant won’t show up in the video, or in the future of the Face Front Universe! Thank you for being patient, and I promise, Rise of the X-Men is coming this year!
The Secret Wars
Now, I want to talk about a new/old project, The Secret Wars. Longtime Face Front viewers may have seen the motion comics on the channel tying into Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Secret War against Red Skull and HYDRA. The Secret Wars videos are pivitol story points in the grand scheme of the Face Front Universe. However, upon reviewing the videos, I find that they are outdated, somewhat unengaging, and framed to connect to an interactive event that no longer exists here on the website. With the importance of these videos to the overall story, I’ve decided to revisit and remaster all of the original Secret Wars videos. This will include removing the elements linking back to Blog, improving the sound design, the cadence, updating the visuals, and most of all, adding voiceover, a step I’ve regretted leaving out since the beginning.
Old and New art direction for The Secret Wars The Secret Wars will be a compilation that tells the entirety of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s war with HYDRA, putting one of the most important stories in the Face Front Universe together in on one place with a fresh new coat of paint that will entertain new and old viewers alike. The Secret Wars will drop later this year, and will be followed by The Secret Wars: Dark Dimension getting the same treatment.
Commentary Content
Let’s get into the commentary content on Face Front. Last year I launched Merry Marvel Mayhem, which I used here and there to talk about relevant moments in Marvel pop culture. The thing is, it’s really no fun for me if no one is talking back. When I first pitched this idea to my friend Johnathan, Merry Marvel Mayhem was supposed to be a rant show where I get all my hot takes off my chest about things I’m very, very passionate and opinionated about. I hesitated to do that because I’m generally a guy that doesn’t rock the boat, but more and more I see people online with, let’s face it, stupid takes, and I’m done keeping quiet. Merry Marvel Mayhem will return, this time, with more emphasis on the mayhem!
Then there’s the Face Front Show. I value nothing more than talking with you guys about Marvel. That said, every time I have a topic for the show, we talk discuss it for about 32 seconds before the show goes off the rails. Which is great! It’s fun! I love it! But from now on, I’m not going to choose a set topic. I’ll go live, and we’ll just talk, like buddies in the comic shop.
Marvel 616: Retold
Another project I launched last year was Marvel 616: Retold, which I believe was a thundering success! It gets more action figure videos out to you guys while putting a comedic spin on some classic Marvel stories. Marvel 616: Retold will continue with new stories throughout the year to keep you guys entertained between the big Face Front Originals. Here’s a sneak peek at one of the upcoming episodes of Marvel 616: Retold:
Click Here to watch all episodes of Marvel 616: Retold!
Marvel Vs.
Another comedy series I have going is Marvel Vs. Marvel Vs. pits two characters against each other in a hilarious 1v1 encounter. There’s already episodes for Spider-Man vs. Lizard, Iron Man vs. Captain America, Cyclops vs. Mr Sinister, Thor vs. Ulik, and Dr Strange vs. Dormammu. Go check those out if you haven’t and prepare for more Marvel Vs., including the next one later this month, which will be Daredevil vs Bullseye, just in time for Born Again! Click Here to view all episodes of Marvel Vs.
Shorts
Now, I want to talk about my YouTube Shorts content. Mostly I was using shorts to post clips from my videos, memes, and gameplay, but last year I started experimenting with dedicated Shorts content, and I have to say, I’m quite happy with the results. Marvel Hero Adventures are hilarious short stories featuring Marvel characters in all kinds of wild situations. I love the challenge of telling a story with a beginning, middle, and end in a minute or less. I know that the algorithm is weird about who it shows Shorts to, I’ve had some subscribers say they never see my shorts! So make sure you Click Here to find all of these videos in the Marvel Hero Adventures Playlist!
Another one of my Shorts series that is truly short is Marvel Nemesis, named after the old video game. It has two characters with a history clash and exchange lines, like Mortal Kombat or Injustice. There’s a playlist for Marvel Nemesis videos as well, so Click Here if you haven’t seen them!
Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse One More Day
Lastly, I want to give you guys an update on what I know you’ve been waiting for. Spider-Man: Return to the Spider-Verse One More Day, The Return to the Spider-Verse finale. I’m going to be completely honest with you guys, this is the big one. This everything and the kitchen sink. My hope for releasing this is honestly just, before the end of the year. It’s going to take time. But I know you guys. I know you love your Spider-Verse content. Web-Warriors was meant to fill the gaps between Spider-Verse episodes, but with The Superior Spider-Man episode and the Turning Point epilogue, Web-Warriors came to its planned end. So what’s next in the Spider-Verse? Well, let me just show you.
Spider-Man: Edge of Spider-Verse
Based on the comic of the same name, Spider-Man: Edge of Spider-Verse is an anthology series, each story focusing on one of the Amazing Friends, taking place between different episodes of Return to the Spider-Verse. These are all-new stories that will feature new and returning characters, fleshing out what the Spidey team is up to when you don’t see them in an episode of Spider-Verse. Length-wise, they’ll be similar the Christmas special episodes, and they’ll release at a steady pace while I work on One More Day. Edge of Spider-Verse is an exciting new Spider-Man project, and I can’t wait for you guys to see the episodes!
Thank you for joining me today, and thank you for watching Face Front. Honestly, I always say this, but I do this for you guys. Keep watching the channel, keep commenting and tuning into the lives, keep being fans. 2025 is an exciting year for Face Front, and I hope you all are ready for what’s to come! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Prequel Comic #2: What We Know
We’re back with Issue #2 of the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man prequel comic! (Click Here if you missed the write-up for Issue #1!) Now we didn’t get as many reveals about this universe’s lore as we did in the first issue, but we got to see Spider-Man in action for more or less the first time. Without anymore delay, let’s get into it Brigadier!
We begin with the well known wrestling match between the new masked figure Spider-Man (in his OG wrestling outfit from Amazing Fantasy #15) and Crusher Hogan. But as we established last time, Uncle Ben is already dead and gone. So the placement of this historic match is definitely off course from the usual canon.
It’s being run by a rich kid named Trip in his parents’ backyard, who so aptly named it Trip’s Tournament of Titans. Peter reveals that he specifically wanted to be called Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man because people are scared of spiders, and he’s trying to be ‘approachable’ and ‘local’. Good to know they’re actually working the title into the plot as opposed to the fact that every other Spider-Man TV show and movie have taken all of the usual adjectives!
Peter mentions he’s fighting for back rent, remember last ish we established he’s dirt poor in this universe. After getting walloped by Crusher, Peter, determined to win the cash, decides to go all out and chucks the poor guy into the stratosphere.
Peter does catch Crusher, thankfully, and informs Trip to wire the winnings to an account he gave them, which is smart because that’s a problem Peter faced in the original books. Spider-Man once got a check he couldn’t cash because it was made out to Spider-Man, and the bank can’t do anything with that. After Crusher accuses the match of being rigged, Spider-Man deposits him into a trash can, and declares that until he figures out exactly how strong he is, it’s “Spider-Man no more”, leading to a clever little callback from the famous scene.
So after tossing around a couple of water heaters to test his strength and stick ’em powers, Peter brainstorms he needs a way to snag things out of reach, like Crusher was, and take down bad guys without hurting them. This of course leads him to developing the Web Shooters, with his chemistry nerd knowledge and a little left over cash from the match. First try is an explosive bust, which then gives him the idea for the self-dissolving agent…
… which he quickly discovers needs to dissolve faster than two hours because he hilariously ends up stuck to a criminal he takes down. I know it varies from iteration to iteration, but typically Spider-Man’s webs dissolve in one hour.
The next day Peter catches up with Nico at their new school. It’s called Rockford T. Bales High. Now I’m not sure if this is where he’s going to be in the show, but Midtown was destroyed in that mysterious battle, so if it isn’t repaired, this is where Pete and Nico are going to school. Peter already ends up on Trip’s bad side for no reason, he goes to the same school apparently. But Nico gets him to back off and the two agree that they’ll be unstoppable if they stick together. That was a sweet little moment solidifying their friendship, I think.
That night, Peter perfects the Web Shooters and hits the town, preventing a car accident and declaring himself officially Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Which doesn’t make Silvermane very happy at all. So he makes good on the threat from last issue and calls in the infamous classic Spidey villains: The Enforcers! They more or less resemble their comic counterparts, and they fit very well with the 60’s-inspired aesthetic they say the show is going for.
Peter switches up his outfit a bit to the hockey jersey we see in the show, no emblem yet but he’ll figure out something that ‘says Spider-Man’ later. He finds that the web tank’s a bit big, having trouble fitting through the window, so that’s probably why he eventually goes for the horizontal design on his lower back we’ve seen in the trailers.
While on patrol he happens upon The Enforcers shaking down a shopkeep, noting he’s got an instinct, maybe a sense (get it?), to find people in danger. He gets into it with Ox and Fancy Dan, and I really like this fight. He starts strong, but Fancy Dan easily registers Spider-Man’s Thwipping gesture as a ‘tell’, and gets the drop on him, while Ox joins the walloping.
But Spider-Man adapts mid-fight. As he says, they’re pros, but he can do things they can’t. He relies on his Spider-Sense. He adjusts the kind of web he uses to catch Fancy Dan. He packs a bit more of a punch to pummel Ox. It’s really great stuff that makes watching Spider-Man fight so amazing!
Unfortunately, Montana gets involved, severing Spider-Man’s web tubes and letting The Enforcers get the upper hand once again.
The issue ends with poor Spider-Man, defeated, in the middle of the street, surrounded by The Enforcers. An honest-to-goodness “To Be Continued!” if I’ve ever seen one!
And that’s all we’ve got for this one. Big takeaways are notably designing the webs, the wrestling match, and his new, maybe permanent school. I didn’t mention earlier, but Aunt May shows up a few times, who Peter is becoming uncomfortable with lying to, the ease of it bothering him more than anything. But that fight between a novice Spider-Man and The Enforcers was the highlight of the issue for me. It was such a good comic book battle that took me back to the old days of reading Spider-Man! More of that, please, in the comic and the show!
Next issue the fight obviously continues, as he’s featured on the cover taking on the three troublemakers. Solicits have it dropping February 19, which is well after the show’s January 29th premiere date.
I don’t know if this was planned and coordinated with the show’s release schedule to add context or if it’s still supposed to be filling in that time gap they mentioned this story takes place in. But either way, I’ll probably still do a write-up. For the show itself I plan on doing a Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Aftershow on Thursdays, so stay tuned to Face Front’s YouTube channel for more info on that. I hope you guys are enjoying these, I can’t wait for the next issue, and of course the show! Until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
