Marvel’s Marvelous Events for February 22nd – 28th
Are you disappointed that you still can’t train to be a Super Hero at Avenger’s Campus at the Disney Parks and Resorts? At Marvel Blog, we have AN EPIC CASE OF THE MONDAYS, and thought it would be nice of us to offer some enjoyable at home entertainment and events to hold you over until the park’s reopen – hopefully, soon…

Torrence has designed many of the super-cute emoji for Marvel Studios, but we think that #AgathaAllAlong might just be the most Kawaii of them all! Apparently, the artist is loving the fan theories just as much as the next person.
