DNF at 25%It was so boring. Watching ants take crumbs of biscuits is more interesting.I'm serious!I was reading this book and saw some ants and started watching them and then I realised I was supposed to be reading this but I didn't have it in me to continue reading this.

So, this is a comic book series based on a TV series that was a spin-off of a movies series that was based on various comics books series. Except it's not that simple. S.H.I.E.L.D. has been around a long time in Marvel comics (since 1965 to be precise), and has played a major part in the history of many Marvel story lines. Along came the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008 which also introduced us to Phil Coulson, agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. After his death in The Avengers in 2012, he was chosen to be t...

I did NOT really enjoy the mix of events from the comics and the tv show... some of the characters weren't drawn clearly. but the attitudes were about right for each character so that was a good thing.

It's so surprising that this has mixed reviews. I quite enjoyed this even if it did change some things from the TV series and I don't know where exactly this falls in the continuity.I loved how the crossovers worked as well. I'm just happy to have read a comic book about the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because I adore them.I'm looking forward to continuing on with this series eventually :)

[Read as single issues]I'll start with the positives; Marc Guggenheim has learned from Mark Waid's mistakes, and ensures that this Agents of SHIELD series is much closer to the TV show. The book stars Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Fitz and Simmons, Mockingbird, Quake, and Deathlok as they battle evil Hydra agent Grant Ward in a Tower of Babel-esque storyline that sees Coulson's psychic ex-girlfriend Lola (like the car) stealing all of his superhero counter-measures and selling them to Hydra.It soun...

This book is such a strange little fusion of the Agents of Shield TV show and that state of Shield in the current Marvel universe. Guggenheim is able to make it work, for the most part. There is one moment that bothers me, a bit. mockingbird finds US Agent, who is undercover, and doesn't recognize him, at all. I am pretty sure that is an editorial mistake. Mockingbird should know who US agent is, from their time on Avengers West Coast. I know that is a little nerdy nitpicky thing, but that is th...

While the story has a MacGuffin that is reminiscent of DC's Batman - Tower of Babel storyline, the actual plot focuses on teamwork and some of the ancillary characters the series has had (it was good to see Mockingbird and Deathlok regularly). It's pretty clear this comes from some of the early seasons, so some of the character actions are a bit odd (Fitz in particular seems very off, but I kind of think that's intentional), but it's nice to see them also dealing with the larger Marvel universe,...

Art imitates art in this series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., based on the ABC television show of the same name. In this volume, a villain bearing stolen Stark Iron Man tech has broken into the Pentagon. Making off with a set of contingency plans to take out superheroes that go rogue, the good guy community is on high alert! For this mystery baddie looks to auction the so-called Coulson Protocols off to the highest bidder!Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has some great elements as well as a few that put me off...

Proving some times even without a lick of any powers and just the right attitude can win the fans over. Plus being in the small percentage where the character starts from the visual media and then makes the transition into the pages of Marvel comics.Phil Coulson is now the head of a Shield department and with some superhero allies to help along the way, these issues showcase the man with a plan as someone or some thing is taken down all the people with magic. Soon no one is left to fight magic w...

This was rad! Since my mom and i have been obsessed with the tv show, i was super excited to check out the comic book. I was surprised to find it pretty different from the show, but the wit and sass of the characters was still there. The story was fast paced and the designs were gorgeous. I was also so glad the Avengers got involved, as that is my #1 pet peeve with the show, even though I understand getting movie stars involved in a tv show is pretty difficult ha.Excited to read the next one, an...

"The stars of the hit TV show Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. explore the all-new, all-different Marvel universe" makes me think of when Barry went to Earth 2 but it isn't like that. I've never read the original comics so I can't say (other than Mockingbird, Hawkeye, Grant, and Wolverine, because of reading reviews) which are supposed to be the tv show/movie versions or the comic versions. If Fitz is supposed to be the tv show version him flirting with May seems very out of place. There are a fe...

I'm not really sure how to take this one. Overall I did enjoy it and I enjoyed reading how the TV characters interacted with the Marvel Universe characters, especially since their contact with the other heroes has been limited on TV. However, the series almost put the TV characters TOO firmly into the Marvel Universe. I think the series would be better as a stand alone even if other Marvel characters do show up. Putting the characters in the center of the Marvel Universe seemed to confuse things...

Kind of interesting to see Agents of Shield in comic book form. Kind of a swing and a miss, but a good try nonetheless. There are just so many characters and it's hard to give them enough time to make it have any depth. But no one is exactly done wrong, Coulson himself is actually pretty good. The other normal characters are the one's that are a bit of a struggle - May and Fitz and Simmons. The basic idea that the plans in Coulson's head are worth billions seem unlikely. It seems like lots of pe...

I’m not a huge consumer of graphic novels, though I do enjoy the MCU and Agents of Shield show, and in particular find Colson particularly entertaining on many levels. This was a fun way to spend some time with characters I enjoy. I do admit that the “based on a TV show” angle does bias me toward valuing it less. But it ended up being a fun read.

Am a huge fan of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV series as well as all things Marvel Comics, so I thought why not give it a go.By itself it is an enjoyable story with great cameos and nice humour, however, I think I am so used to the actors and actresses that paly the roles and some lines I couldn't see them saying and some actions - yes I'm looking at you Fitz and May, I couldn't get my head around.I'm going to read the next one as only two collected editions were produced in this particular serie...

Agent Phil Coulson and his SHIELD team (Quake, Mockingbird, Deathlok, Melinda May, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons) have to track down a Department of Defence quantum drive which has fallen into criminal hands. They soon learn, however, that not only does the drive contain detailed files on how to kill superheroes, but it's also the product of Coulson's own imagination.I love the AoS TV series. Sure it's not all great and disappeared up its own lore a couple of times before it ended, but it was fun a...

Started reading this because the S.H.I.E.L.D. tv show comes back on English TV tonight, and to say the least, this was a bit of a weird one for me. I've only ever watched the show, and only know the MCU timeline, so to see Tony Stark requesting to see Coulson, Coulson himself pretending to be Wolverine (who is actually dead) and Fitz flirting with May, it was a bit weird. But, once I got past that, I really enjoyed this comic. Full of plot twists and Avenger cameos, an explanation as to where Lo...

I'm not a fan of the show, so I don't really know these characters. I know they've been around the Marvel Comics Universe for a bit at this point, but I don't feel like they have a personality except for Coulson and they don't have a distinct look except for Deathlok. So I kind of recognize their names but I don't really care. Somebody needs to explain to modern Marvel what a character silhouette is.A telepath stole the ideas on how to defeat all of the superheroes right out of Coulson's head an...

I'm not sure why editors think its a good idea to have an unconnected crossover in the middle of a collection but that's what happens here. Standoff touches the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and it isn't good. The story before and after is decent but possibly too epic to only involve them. The art was decent but unspectacular. Overall, a muddy beginning to a series with a lot of promise.

A fan of the show here. More Phil Coulson is always good but I don’t like the representation of Fitz compared to the TV series. I like May’s character and feel it’s close to the show and I do miss the presence of Mac. Good storyline that would have been interest to see work on the TV show.
