I have really enjoyed the last Marvel outing of Thor: The Dark World. It was an interesting tale with lots of action, humor and intrigue. Thor also had a great message about power and how it can blind you from doing the right thing.
Additionally, I have been enjoying the new TV show Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It stars Clark Gregg as good old Agent Coulson from all of the Marvel movies. He has a fun group of agents that seemed mismatched, but work together. The stories are starting to get very interesting now that they have moved on from the introductions. I think that if they get a minor Marvel villain as the season's foil it will become an even better show. Though you have to have faith in Joss Whedon.
Marvel is in the news everywhere with it's deal with Netflix that will produce four TV shows and the new X-Men and Captain America movies. It is bringing one of the most creative story telling to the mainstream world. Comics might seem stupid to a lot of people, but there is a ton of creativity in the story telling. Yes, they are not based in reality, but what is? I am glad that I am a small fan of comics. I think that we need more heroes in our lives. Tragedies like Sandy Hook and the disaster in the Philippines show us that we need more heroes in our world.
