<\/a>If you have watched any of the Avengers movies(or any recent superhero movie), then you’re probably familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D, aka\u00a0 Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Volume 1: The Coulson Protocols<\/strong><\/em><\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0Agent Coulson leads Melinda May, Agents Fitz and Simmons, Mockingbird, Quake, and Deathlok, as they battle someone in an Iron Man suit(who is not Iron Man!),\u00a0multiple people who want to take over the world, and, of course, the evil Hydra organization. Coulson’s old love interest, Lola – not to be confused with his car who just happens to have the same name, has come to the team’s attention after her name is found to be affiliated with the tech that the person in the Iron Man suit blew up the Pentagon to steal. As a result, Coulson\u00a0goes to meet her to find out what she knows.\u00a0It turns out that Lola manipulated their previous relationship in order to steal precious superhero information from Coulson. She’s a psychic and can read his mind!<\/p>\n

Coulson, being the giant superhero geek that he is, created\u00a0scenarios in his head about how to take down any\u00a0of the\u00a0Avengers and also any of the other superheroes\/agents that he knows. Lola then read his mind and stole that information.\u00a0Those scenarios\u00a0are now called\u00a0the Coulson Protocols and\u00a0fake Iron Man stole\u00a0them\u00a0from the Pentagon. That information is now up for auction to the highest\u00a0bidder and\u00a0the team must do everything and anything\u00a0in their power to get that\u00a0highly sensitive intel\u00a0back. They battle a massive Iron Man army, throw down with some Hydra bad\u00a0guys, rub shoulders with Spider-Man, Captain America,\u00a0Wolverine,\u00a0and Tony Stark, and find themselves in a massive standoff with the New Avengers, all while trying to find the Coulson Protocols. Allegiances are tested and backstories are revealed as Coulson and his team work to save the world from a possible leak of this sensitive information.<\/p>\n

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Volume 1: The Coulson Protocols<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>does a fairly good job introducing readers to who the agents are and how S.H.I.E.L.D. works. (I didn’t come into this graphic novel as a complete newbie,\u00a0having watched the first season of the S.H.I.E.L.D. tv show many, many months ago,\u00a0BUT I\u00a0remember almost none of it, so don’t be afraid of reading this if you’re totally unfamiliar with any of the characters. You’ll be just fine.). Guggenheim also adds the characters’ names next to\u00a0each throughout most of the comic, so you won’t have to flip\u00a0back to the beginning\u00a0to remember who’s who (That’s fantastic, btw, and way more graphic novel writers should take note). I thoroughly enjoyed this new\u00a0graphic novel and can’t wait for the next volume to be released. In the mean time, I’ll have to settle for watching the two seasons of Marvel’s Agents of\u00a0Shield<\/em> that the library owns. Read this\u00a0comic\/watch the shows\u00a0and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n
