S.H.I.E.L.D. 50th Anniversary Edition: The Cavalry I love me some Melinda May, I have since I first saw her on the show. I had no idea that it consisted of so many established characters. Melinda May is exactly the same on the show too. She comes off as an ice queen to those around her, she’s a badass, and she cares more than most. This was a great story and I loved the way it highlighted her nickname as “the Cavalry”. ( )
