Each week, Jim Steranko will be reviewing the latest episode of Agents of SHIELD. His thoughts on the first episode are at the link above.

The original SHIELD comics were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but Steranko (who was new to the comic business at the time) quickly took it over and developed it into a highly acclaimed feature.

Good catch, Jim.

Steranko really knows his stuff!

[Jim Maloney]

Yes, he does, although I disagree with a lot of his complaints about the show, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

[Bill Duncan]

The review sounds like it was written by one of the FOX executives who cancelled Firefly.

Even this comics geek enjoyed the pilot. I thought for a TV show (and a limited budget) it was done pretty well and I hope it sticks.

The premiere episode was a ratings hit -- #1 in the target demo (18-49), and the highest premiere in 4 years. It's off to an excellent start. It's unlikely that there will be any Firefly-esque shenanigans here.
