SDCC 2014: AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. To Receive Cross-Over Comic

As Marvel continues to cross between comics and film, Marvel has released an announcement that Mark Waid and his team of artists including Carlos Pacheco, Alan Davis, and Chris Sprouse will be heading the adaptation of the popular television show AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D., which follows the exploits and adventures of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Coulson and his team. “He is the coolest Marvel Comics fan ever. E-V-E-R,” Wait said of Clark Gregg, the actor who performed Coulson in the show and films such as Iron Man and the Avengers. “He’s amazing at his job, he’s badass, he’s funny – and he loves the history of the Marvel Universe as much as I do.”

The new series is set to follow the recent Moon Knight series, as a series of one-off stories connected AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. to various well-known Marvel superheroes. “Done-in-one stories are more challenging, no doubt – and every story will focus on one mission, yes – but I’d be very surprised if there weren’t some evidence of some common threat once we get rolling, something to give each set of issues more of an arc. Oh, we’re definitely bringing the gang in, from May to Fits and Simmons and beyond,” he revealed. “They’re the Marvel Universe “versions” of these characters, which gives us license to really delve into them in ways that are tough with limited screen time each week.”
