2015 RITTENHOUSE MARVEL AGENTS OF SHIELD SEASON 2 神盾局特工第二季
After getting off to a slow start in its first season, both in the action department and in the ratings, Marvel Agents of SHIELD stepped up for its second go-around. Spinning directly out of the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the television program brought a lot more intensity and more guest stars. It also laid some major groundwork for things that are likely to come from future Marvel movies. 2015 Rittenhouse Marvel Agents of SHIELD Season 2 covers this and more.

And the Chloe Bennet autographs are definitely part of the release this time. The actress, who plays Skye, was announced as a signer for the Season 1 set that released earlier in the year. However, an injury led to some last-second changes and her unable to sign at the time.

Autographs and Relic cards are both inserted one per box.



Base Set

The second season is summarized with a 72-card base set. They cover key moments as SHIELD battles both HYDRA and itself following the fallout of season one and events in Marvel blockbusters.

The base set has a Gold parallel. These are inserted at a rate of one per box.



Autographs

Like the show’s first set, the 2015 Rittenhouse Marvel Agents of SHIELD Season 2 Autograph lineup is stellar. Some may consider it to be even stronger.

The addition of Bennett is the big one as far as main cast members go. Iain De Caestecker, who plays Agent Fitz, is also new to the Season 2 set.

Returning regulars include Clark Gregg (Coulson), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Simmons) and Ming-Na (Agent May).

Similar to the earlier release, there’s a lot of depth beyond the main cast, though. And we’re not talking about strictly extras. Jaimie Alexander (Lady Sif) and Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) have significant roles in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. For Alexander, the timing is good as her new show, Blindspot, has gotten off to a strong start.

Kyle MacLachlan has his first certified autograph card since the 1991 Star Pics Twin Peaks set.

And then there’s Fred Dryer. Hunter may not be as big as it was in the 1980s, but there are bound to be some that remember the action show.

Here’s a tentative list of signers that Rittenhouse has released so far:
Jaimie Alexander as Lady Sif
Hayley Atwell as Agent Carter
Chloe Bennett as Skye
Nick Blood as Lance Hunter
B.J. Britt as Antoine Triplett
Brett Dalton as Grant Ward
Iain De Caestecker as Agent Fitz
Fred Dryer as Octavian Bloom
Clark Gregg as Director Coulson
Jamie Harris as Gordon
Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Simmons
Simon Kassianides as Sunil Bakshi
Dichen Lachman as Jiaying
Kyle MacLachlan as Calvin Johnson
Eddie McClintock as Vin-Tak
Ming-Na as Agent May
Luke Mitchell as Lincoln Campbell
Patton Oswalt as Eric Koenig
Henry Simmons as Mack
Maya Stojan as Agent 33




Relic Cards

Relic cards join autographs as a primary box hit. Collectors can expect to find pieces of costumes from the show embedded in the cards.

The Relic card set has 18 cards.



Inserts

2015 Rittenhouse Marvel Agents of SHIELD Season 2 has a trio of basic insert sets: Agents of SHIELD (nine cards), Art of Level 7 (12 cards), and SHIELD Index (18 cards). All are inserted at a rate of one per box.

Agents of SHIELD has a Metal parallel that are inserted as a case hit.

Sketch cards also make their debut for the show. Rittenhouse hasn’t released the odds, but they’ll likely be a chase bonus much like they’ve been in several of the card maker’s Game of Thrones releases.

A binder for the set comes with a promo card that isn’t available elsewhere.
