Hey Comics — Kids! Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD

Hey Comics Kids podcast logoAs the gentle pitter-pat of raindrops serenade us on our drive to school, the boys and I review the first episode of Marvels Agents of SHIELD — and it’s a strong start to the show’s second season. Alex has a lot to say about this show — and for good reason. He was a fervent admirer of the series since its inception. And to be honest, if he hadn’t insisted that we stick with the show, I would have bailed midway through the first season. But I honestly believe that this kid willed the show to be good. And by the end of the first season, his faith was rewarded. Max, on the other hand, has never sat through an entire episode. But rest assured, he has opinions nonetheless. By the truckload. Spoilers ahead! We discuss the first episode of the second season, make some predictions for the upcoming season — and we even prognosticate what these events mean for the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
