Continuing on from our previous recap and review of the 1st half Agent Carter: Now is Not the End (click the link to see that review and get the detailed synopsis…
This article was initially meant to be about the 10 best (single) issues of the X-Men, but as I started researching (re-reading) and reviewing, I quickly came to discover that…
One good thing about Agents of SHIELD is that it isn’t afraid to change. In the next to last episode before the winter break (and start of Marvel’s Agent Carter), Ye…
Opening: Last episode was one of revelations. We found out what the map is to (sort of) and we get a hint of fugitive Ward’s next move (with his brother). …
