Showdown on Planet Death and Castle Death On the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. midseason finale.

The episode Maveth delivered massive payoff with action, emotional peaks and heartstopping dives, mythological intrigue plus smart snappy humor that hits sharp as a knife from Agent May at a Hydra bad guy.

Loose ends tied like noose, arcs came to slam bang and emotional resolutions and what a cliffhanger and shocking new status for an original cast member! Continue reading AGENTS OF SHIELD: MAVETH Burning Questions

Marvel faced the fans at the Avengers Now panel at San Diego Comic Con following last week’s triple shot of announcements with big changes for the big three Avengers.

 

Sam Wilson will become the All-New Captain America #1 by Rick Remender and Stuart Immonen. A woman will wield the hammer in a brand new Thor #1 by Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman. Tony Stark will get a change of armor and attitude in Superior Iron Man #1 by Tom Taylor and Yildiray Cinar.

 

Rick Remender said Wilson will “earn the mantle” in Captain America #25. A new Nomad (Ian, the son of Armin Zola from Dimension Z) will be new sidekick and Steve Rogers, now in his 90’s and without the Super Soldier Serum, will be an advisor.

 

Marvel announced Captain America and The Mighty Avengers by Al Ewing & Luke Ross coming in November. No word on if this is a brand new series or a renaming of the current Mighty Avengers by Ewing. Continue reading Marvel AVENGERS NOW! SDCC Panel

THOR: THE DARK WORLD opens Friday. Chris Hemsworth reprises his role as the Avenger from Asgard for third time. If this big movie is your third or first time seeing the Thunder God in action here’s a guide for Thor virgins or hammer wielding fans who want to get a refresher. Given the response to my Avengers for Virgins post I wanted to give an update of fun Thor basics and what to watch for in the sequel!

 

Comic Book Origin: Thor was co-created by the legendary Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby in Journey Into Mystery in 1963 and based on Norse mythology. The hammer wielding God of Thunder was a founding member of the Avengers as they assembled against the threat of his brother, Loki.
