MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Ep. 7: The Hub (T.V. review)
November 13th, 2013 Steven D'Arcangelo What’s all the hubbub about The Hub… bub? Aside from being the title of this week’s episode, it’s also S.H.I.E.L.D.’s headquarters. One of them anyway.

October 23rd, 2013 Steven D'Arcangelo The promos for this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. feature an Asian guy with firestarter powers. Marvel comics fans wouldn’t be wrong to think it was Sunfire, a Japanese hero who’s been around since 1970. But no, it’s Scorch, a Chinese villain — the show’s first genuine super villain — created for the series. Is this […]
