In afraid I'm not well versed in the comics, but I can offer an opinion on the movies and TV show.
Commercially, I think Disney and Marvel have done a terrific job with the Marvel universe. Tying all the separate heroes together under a single Avengers banner has made the projects cohesive and brought in millions. Even though I prefer the DC universe, Warner Bros. and DC are far behind the curve on this front.
So that's commercially. Critically, the recent Marvel movies have been a mixed bag. Of the eight movies, I would only recommend three: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and The Avengers. I will say that the next Captain America looks quite good. More political drama than special effects spectacular, which is refreshing.
Lastly, Agents of SHIELD. This has been a huge disappointment. Despite Whedon's involvement, the show plays out like an anti-Whedon show: cookie cutter characters, contrived plots, just plain ordinary. The show really needs a complete overhaul.
That's my two cents.
