NYCC Day 2

Early start today but well worth it. Step one was a beeline for the the ticket line for the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. panel; a great idea because those tickets went within minutes. Then it wasa quick hop over to the “Elementary” panel line to get THAT ticket. Finally, I was free to hit the show…

I can’t tell you, it’s a spoiler for Guardians. My second favorite, though, is this one from Captain America: The First Avenger. The Red Skull demands…
