Channel Your Favorite Superhero
With the main Avengers storyline having ended, we long to hear those two words together again: “Avengers assemble.” Although we can assuage that feeling with the ongoing releases of Marvel tie-ins like the latest Spider-Man (only to be released on DVD & Blu-Ray and NOT available for streaming), there’s nothing like assembling all our favorite heroes in one place. Assembled here are just a few of SHIELD’s top-performers and the books they would read if they ever had time between fighting off the evils of the universe.
