Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #24

In this delightfully absurd issue of Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #24, the beach becomes a surreal stage where Iron Man, rusted and vulnerable, faces off against crabs, while Bucky unwittingly constructs a sandcastle from the Sandman—only for the Hulk to demolish it. As chaos unfolds, the Hulk finds an unexpected kindred spirit in Daisy, and their romance blooms—until tragedy strikes with a shark attack. With Atlantis on the move and Bucky sacrificing himself in a final, heroic stand, the issue closes with a dance that feels both inevitable and oddly peaceful. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, and Doug Goldstein, and illustrated, inked, and colored by Paul Schiraldi, this surreal beachside romp blends absurdity and heart in equal measure.
