From Thor: The Dark World to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Jaime Alexander reprises her role as Lady Sif on the ABC series on March tonight.

 

Sif’s return to Midgard (what the Asgardians call Earth) is tied to the debut of the villainess Lorelei, who appeared in the final moments of last week’s issue.

 

Sif’s television debut coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the hero. As pointed out by Marvel’s Brett White, Sif made her comic book debut in Journey Into Mystery #2 back in 1964.

“We knew from the start that the Murder World story would end with issue #18 of Arena. Editor Bill Rosemann and I started throwing around ideas for a follow-up series around the time we finished our second arc. What we ended up with in Undercover is a brand new concept with a totally different tone and mission statement,” writer Dennis Hopeless told Marvel.com. Continue reading AVENGERS UNDERCOVER #1
