With Agent Carter taking a break this week, I thought we’d turn to the comics to see what Marvel has been up to lately. First off, Marvel introduced a new S.H.I.E.L.D. comic title that stars Agent Coulson. And, while the comic doesn’t take place in… Read More »Marvel News Round Up: Comics Edition

What this week’s episode lacks in action, it makes up for in character. After an announcement made by Peggy’s new landlady, she gets the idea to investigate the hole beneath Howard Stark’s safe to see if she can figure out how our mystery man broke in.
Just before she and Jarvis plan to make their way down to the safe, Thompson and Souza show up at the door. They’re investigating Stark’s license plate that was found in the wreckage of last week’s implosion. Because Stark is on the run, Jarvis is the number one suspect and is brought into SSR custody for interrogation.
Jarvis lies, claiming that Stark’s car was stolen that he reported it a few days earlier. In the SSR office, Peggy takes a figurative bullet for Javis when she claims that she lost the stolen car report, allowing Jarvis to go free putting her in hot water with her superiors.
However, it is revealed during the interrogation that, during the war, Jarvis was charged with treason and dishonorably discharged.
Back at her apartment, Peggy is getting ready to meet Jarvis when Angie shows up at the door. She tries to turn Angie away politely, but Angie is hurt non-the-less. As they leave her apartment, their landlady walks by and introduces them to her new tenant: Dorothy “Dottie” Underhill. Some people in the fan community think that Angie shouldn’t be trusted, but my money is on Dottie. This is the only scene that she’s in (clearly anyway) and I don’t think they introduced her for no reason. There’s more to her story.Read More »Agent Carter Recap: Episode 3 – Time and Tide
To summarize the majority of what we see in the trailer, our heroes will be pit against the world. It seems that they will be facing off against Baron Von Strucker early in the film. My guess is this leads to the protesters that we saw in the first trailer and in this trailer. Obviously it seems the popularity of the Avengers is starting to dip.
This is further confirmed by how Captain America is acting throughout the trailer. I would guess that he gets very upset about this. After all, he came from a time when America was united as one against a common enemy. Now he lives in an age where the good guys could be bad guys and vice versa. With direct opposition from those he is trying to protect, Cap is going to be struggling with the idea he is doing more harm than good.
For Stan Lee’s next Marvel cameo he will travel back in time to 1946 an appear in Agent Carter. He gets around quite a lot for a 92 year old man. But it must be great seeing the characters you had a hand in creating continue living on in media beyond paper and ink.
Here are a couple shots taken of Lee on set.
You’ll have to wait until the January 27th episode to see Stan in action.
For a preview of tonight’s episode of Agent Carter expect to see the hunt for Howard Stark, who’s innocence Agent Carter is trying to prove, heat up.
