The only question is … why is it renewed? In case you haven’t heard, I’m quite, quite done with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Period. If you ditched this series to the curb by now, know that (with Fox holding the license to … Continue reading

This is going to be creepy as Hell. …. Ahem.  Anyway. Possible spoilers ahead — spoilers for the comics, anyway, not sure about the tv show. So, in Marvel Comics earlier this century, they had a Marvel “Max” line — mature … Continue reading
