Welcome to BEHIND THE PANELS Issue 142, the comic book show that’s been hiding inside S.H.I.E.L.D. since the 1940s.
In this issue, Archie exposes himself…to criticism. Archie and Veronica blushed. ALSO really long first look trailers get dropped for Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Lucifer. We talk about them in a section we appropriately call Talking Point. THEN it’s Saga…and some other stuff in What We’ve Been Reading.
PLUS: Our Kick-Ass Pick of the Week™: AGENTS OF SHIELD: SEASON 2 (ABC). This is BEHIND THE PANELS.
