Preview: AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #1

After the popularity of the hit ABC show Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it was only a matter of time before Marvel’s publishing line capitalized by putting out comics featuring stars from the show.  It started last year with Mark Waid’s S.H.I.E.L.D., which introduced agents May, Fitz and Simmons to the Marvel universe.

Now, in the All-New, All-Different Marvel, S.H.I.E.L.D. returns in a new ongoing series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from Marc Guggenheim and German Peralta.  I always find it curious when Marvel keeps hiring Guggenheim for projects, when he works for their competition’s television division.  But I guess it’s no different than writers and artists working at both DC and Marvel.

Spy-Fueled Punch This January!

New York, NY—December 10th, 2015 — This January, Coulson and his team step out of the shadows and into the light as the Marvel Universe’s crack team of spies re-assembles for AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #1 – a blockbuster new ongoing series! Series writer Marc Guggenheim (Arrow Executive Producer, X-Men) and artist German Peralta (Moon Knight) weave a tale of espionage, action, intrigue, and danger in an in-continuity series inspired by the hit television show Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! Coulson and his team – May, Fitz, Simmons, Deathlok, Mockingbird and Quake bring the brains and brawn to tackle any situation the Marvel Universe can throw at them. But have they met their match when a dark secret from Coulson’s past threatens to tear S.H.I.E.L.D. apart from the inside? What exactly are the “Coulson Protocols”? And what is Iron Man doing there? Those answers and more lie inside the bombastic debut of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #1!
