We already handle theDC liven instrument panel at NYCC ' 11 – which featured DC Universe liven feature film coming to DVD / Blu - ray – and yesterday , we covered the Marvel Television panel hosted by Vice President of Marvel Television , Jeph Loeb .
The topics and television dimension showcased in the panel were wide - ranging - from live - action ( A.K.A. Jessica Jones , The Hulk , Cloak and Dagger , andMockingbird ) to animated ( Ultimate Spider - Man , Hulk : Agents of S.M.A.S.H.andThe Avengers : Earth ’s Mightiest Heroesseason 2 ) .
There was a lot to cover , so we ’ve segment our reputation in rescript of the theme discussed . you’re able to jump to specific appearance by using the link below :

Jessica Jones
The first part of the panel dealt with the " bouncy Action - in - Development " television properties in Marvel ’s lineup ( Jeph Loeb stress the words “ in - growth , ” as these shows are still in the preparation stages ) . First up was the live - action ABC television version of Brian Michael - Bendis ’ acclaimed comic Good Book , Alias(no copulation to the hit J.J. Abrams show of the same name ) which will be calledA.K.A. Jessica Jones .
The Hulk
Next up in the “ resilient Action - in - Development ” parcel of the panel was ABC’sThe Hulk . Jeph Loeb break very small about that television set show , which is going to be make by Guillermo del Toro , except that :
Cloak and Dagger
Third on the “ Live Action ” ticket wasCloak and Dagger , an ABC Family show aimed a teenagers , which will take place in a “ post - Katrina New Orleans . ” For those not in the know , the comic leger is about two adolescent runaways : 1 ) “ Cloak , ” A.K.A. Tyrone Johnson , a seventeen - year - old Boston male child who runs aside to New York because his debilitating stammer prevents him from promise out to his friend and saving him from getting run into by a car . 2 ) “ Dagger , ” A.K.A. Tandy Bowen , an improbably inside fertile female child who runs out from her household because her super model female parent does n’t have metre for her .
One thing leads to another , the two runaways accept an offer to go to a shelter with strange men , the man forcibly take the runaway to a condemnable chemist who test synthetical heroin on them - and voila ! They get superpowers ( although this was later retconned so they were mutants all along , and the synthetical heroin simply trigger their x - factor ) .
Cloak ’s power is his power to connect to the “ Darkforce Dimension , ” as well as to become intangible and to teleport ( by vanish inside of his “ cloak , ” of course ) . Dagger ’s power is her power to create “ luminousness - base ” obelisk – which can mend hoi polloi , if she so choose – as well as to wipe out people ’s addiction , whatever they may be .
It ’s easy to suppose that the show will follow the above basic plot line , with the only key difference ( so far ) being the alteration of locale from NYC to New Orleans .
Mockingbird & Ultimate Spider - Man …
Mockingbird
Also on ABC Family will beMockingbird , a narration about Bobbi Morse – Hawkeye finally splice her in the comic strip – a entrant in college ( perhaps Stanford in California ) who gets contacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and becomes a hush-hush agent . Basically , the thrusting of the show is , “ College educatee by twenty-four hours , secret agentive role by nighttime , ” and according to Jeph Loeb , it ’ll be like J.J. Abrams’Felicitymeets J.J. Abrams’Alias . That ’s a lot of J.J. Abrams move on there .
Ultimate Spider-Man
Next was the animation portion of the gore , where Loeb debut some of the very first footage ofUltimate Spider - Man(written by Paul Dini and the Man of Action team – Joe Casey , Joe Kelly – with additional help from Brian Michael Bendis , Joe Quesada , Dan Buckley , and more ) . Some things of note about the footage :
candidly , of what little we pick up , the show attend jolly excellent . The sense of wittiness and written material are top - pass , the cast and the performing are excellent , the characters and storey apply looked good enough , and the ocular timbre of the show was a least two or three steps above Marvel’sEarth ’s Mightiest Heroes .
If there ’s anything less - than - glow to say about the footage , it ’s that the vitality keep on a bit of that stilted Americanized anime quality due to the overutilisation of photographic camera pans , push - ins , zooms , and disputation , as opposed to stark animated movement . Indeed , it does n’t yet feel as energized as the wondrous ( but canceled)Spectacular Spider - Man – then again , some deemed that show to be too cartoony .
After the footage , Clark Gregg get together the panel as a special guest and talked about how worked up he was – as a comic book buff – to be a part of the not only the Marvel pic , but alsoUltimate Spider - Man . essentially , he was the one who asked the producers if he could play Coulson inUSMas well , and of trend they said yes .
giant : Agents of S.M.A.S.H. & Avengers : Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes …
Hulk: Agents of S.M.A.S.H.
Next , Jeph Loeb talked aboutHulk : Agents of S.M.A.S.H. , which is also being compose by Paul Dini in the vein of the grand superheroics of past times , as make by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby . The mould of characters include Hulk , Red Hulk , Skaar ( Hulk ’s half - alien son ) , A - Bomb ( Rick Jones with super irradiated powers ) , and She - Hulk . The show will strike Disney XD in 2013 .
Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
And last , but not least , Jeph Loeb premiered the first installment ofThe Avengers : Earth ’s Mightiest Heroesseason 2 , which escort the Fantastic Four and the Avengers teaming up to struggle Doctor Doom and his people of Doombots .
The instalment was action - packed , fun , and occasionally peculiar ( Hulk repeatedly pluck scrap with The Thing and like to make playfulness of the guy for never having advance ) , and there was even a twist ending(SPOILER ALERT ! ):
.
Susan Storm ( A.K.A. The Invisible Woman ) was revealed to in reality be a Skrull by Doctor Doom . Is it a coincidence that Skrulls are A ) feature prominently in the sketch based on the Marvel movies , and bacillus ) rumour to be the villains of Joss Whedon’sThe Avengers ? We ’ll go forth that up to you to decide …
