ABC Orders S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Pilot

Marvel Comics just discovered that one of the advantages to being owned by Disney is being owned by Disney. ABC (owned by Disney) has ordered a pilot from Marvel Comics' (owned by Disney) TV Division written, produced and most likely directed by Joss Whedon (owned by Disney, jk!). The name of the show isn't known yet, but it's going to be about the Marvel Movie Universe's S.H.I.E.L.D.

The only bad news here is that Jeph Loeb (the head of Marvel's TV division) is involved. While he's written two of my favorite Batman stories ever, his work in TV has been downright awful (Heroes, Ultimate Spider-Man). Still, one Joss has the power to cancel out 1,000 Jephs.

Now comes the fun part, Rampant speculation! Other than "production will begin immediately" pretty much nothing is known about this show. No actors are attached and other than "it's about S.H.I.E.L.D." no one really knows anything about the plot. I'm going to go out on a limb (and a google search) and say it will probably be about Cobie Smulders and Clark Gregg hot naked lesbian kiss.
