Spoilers for Agents of SHIELD below Last week, the last surviving Marvel TV show, Agents of SHIELD, ended its seven-season run.

I'll be honest: I don't have a great collection of vintage Captain America comics. I didn't know Allen Bellman for his works for Timely Comics before they became Marvel Comics. Several years ago my wife and I paused at his table at Lexington Comic and Toy Convention in Lexington, Kentucky. I'd never heard of him... Continue Reading →

The biggest debate I’ve seen on social media is the ever present rivalry between Marvel and DC fans. The same question presents itself every time... Continue Reading →
Yes, "the AT&T Girl" (Milana Vayntrub) is Squirrel Girl in MARVEL's New Warriors... and here's something ELSE you'll love! I'll be 100% honest. When we first saw the announcement that Marvel's New Warriors had found its Squirrel Girl, but before we knew who she was, I was a little nervous. After all, Squirrel Girl has skyrocketed in popularity recently,... Continue Reading →
Okay, first things first: Charlie Cox (Daredevil) is from London, and as such is a British actor. When he first spoke at Dragon Con, it was a surprise to us that his accent in Daredevil isn't his natural one. I was already impressed with his acting chops, but having to fabricate an accent on top of portraying a blind person takes... Continue Reading →
