Late last week, word broke that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was already looking to set up its own spinoff, the comic bent of which would become clear by the Season 2 finale. Tonight’s May-centric “Melinda” finally gave us the titular agent’s backstory, but may also have broken the spinoff wide open with Coulson forming a super-team of his very own.

Marvel’s ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ assembles its fourth season 2 installment in "Face My Enemy,” as Coulson and May go undercover to recover a painting with alien writing on the back, while Fitz is forced to rescue the team from a grim fate on the plane.

Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will return from the "Shadows" for a second season tonight, the first of which to not have a major Marvel movie hanging over its head, absorbing plot from its small-screen brethren. The 'Avengers'-adjacent drama came with some lofty expectations in its inaugural season, but with lessons learned, we took a comprehensive look at the pitfalls, the possibilities, the perils and the promise of Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' season 2.

Marvel's ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘ had a rocky road building toward the 'Avengers'-adjacent series we'd wanted from the start, but now that the Marvel universe has gone kablooey, we need a little help keeping everything straight. Coulson lives, but his team in shambles, so we’d better tell you everything you need to know about Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ in 60 seconds before they’re all out of a job next season!

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' may not have brought the thunder with its 'Thor: The Dark World' tie-in episode "The Well," but could a few "Repairs" get the show back on track? Ming-Na's stoic Melinda May will take center stage in next week's all-new 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' installment, and we've got the ass-kicking photos to prove it.

While Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' fans continually await an explanation for Agent Coulson's dramatic return, it seems recent episode "FZZT" left a few fans in the dark about another character who may, or may not have experienced a similar far-death experience. Is Melinda May a Life Model Decoy too? Find out what the producers have to  say!

Just because Comic-Con 2013 has come and gone, and we've finally seen Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' pilot, you didn't think the preview goodies would stop there, did you? Following video introductions to Agents Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), Leo Fitz (Iain de Caestecker) and Gemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), it's time to meet Ming Na's ass-kicking Agent Melinda May!

'S.H.I.E.L.D.,' assemble!  While we still don't know how exactly Clark Gregg will return to reprise the role of Agent Phil Coulson in ABC and Joss Whedon's upcoming 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, we've at least got the first assuredly living casting.  Former 'ER' doc Ming-Na will add a few new letters to her resume as one of the new agents to be featured in the 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' TV series, but what role w
