Marvel Zombies: Foggy Nelson and Karen Page

It’s been a long, long time since I read Daredevil comics. I had a good chunk of (one of) Frank Miller’s runs, but I don’t recall all that much about them. I watched part of the Netflix series and I do remember both Foggy and karen from the series, but didn’t especially like either of these characters, finding Karen particularly annoying. I much preferred Rosario Dawson’s character, as well as, obviously, Matt.

The good news here is that as miniatures, I don’t need to listen to either of these characters annoy or bore me. I can simply save them or eat them, depending on which version of the boardgame I’m playing, and they both work just fine as generic civilians as well. They both painted up fairly smoothly with schemes chosen to match the card art. Since I couldn’t get Karen’s sculpt to look particularly feminine or attractive, I think I did manage to make her look like she really does need to speak to your manager while Foggy looks on with a resigned sideeye.

Marvel Zombies: X-Men Resistance Trish Tilby and William Stryker

Now we’re starting May off with another pair of CMON’s Marvel Zombies bystanders. Basically I was working on these when April rolled over to May and kept going for a little while before stalling out again. I’m not particularly familiar with either of these characters, but they’re apparently both X-Men adjacent. Trish is a reporter who was also Beast’s girlfriend. She’s also been race-swapped more recently because apparently it’s fine to do that with secondary and less important characters to increase representation, which doesn’t work for me on either level – disrespectful to the fans who enjoyed the characters for years or decades, disrespectful to the characters, and also disrepespectful to the people being “represented” becasue we’re going to change this secondary character so you’re represented because this character actually isn’t that important but now you’re “represented” by a token minor character. All rather than making a new character. Anyway, I’ll pause on that particular rant for now.

In the end I painted Trish with a mid skin tone that can represent the variations found in almost any ethnicity in the US. Mostly so she still matched the card ok while being passable for the original version. William Stryker I vaguely recall (in name only) from my X-Men comic-reading days. Obviously he’s also a bad guy of some description and he was apparently also in most of the X-Men movies, so I also don’t remember him from there as well! Both of these figures are from the X-Men Resistance box, so unlike many of the Kickstarter Exclusives, should remain moderately within reach for players trying to track them down.
