I can't be the only one who wishes there was an Agent Melinda May comic book series. The executives over at Marvel have been doing a really good job of offering readers a diverse group of books. However, I would be over the moon happy if Marvel suddenly announced that Melinda May would be getting her own comic book series.
If you're unfamiliar with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the TV series features a small group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they try to save the world in various ways. If you have frequently visited this blog then you know this is not my favorite show. Generally, I find it to be hit or miss but May continues to be one of the most interesting aspects of the show and that's due to actress Ming-Na Wen doing an exceptional job with the portrayal of May.
At the start of season one, May although smart and fearless gave off the appearance of having a cold persona but as the show moved along you saw other aspects of her personality. You find out that she's this complex character who is also very caring, compassionate and always there for her team.
Even though Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has shown some of her backstory especially in regards to showing how she acquired her most hated nickname The Calvary. There is so much more to Melinda May which is why she needs her own comic book series. The comic could delve even more into her life including her life prior to becoming a member of Coulson's team. Can you imagine all the missions she has been on and all the things that she has probably seen?
Last year Melinda May did get a special Marvel 50th Anniversary one-shot comic and can be seen in other comics which includes the S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. comics but the character needs to shine in her own series. I would happily hand over my money if May had a well-written and illustrated comic book series.
What do you think? Would you be interested in reading about the adventures of Melinda May?
