Reply Subj: Marvel and ABC planning new Incredible Hulk television series, plus Cloak and Dagger.

No real details on this yet, so no idea if they're going to find another big guy to paint green or try to do Hulk CGI on a television budget.

Cloak and Dagger looks to be planned as an ABC family series.

The Punisher is mentioned as a possible cable show in the future.

Most interesting, to me, was the list of properties that Marvel apparently pitched to ABC executives, including:

The Eternals
Heroes For Hire
Agents of Atlas
The Hood
Ka-Zar
Moon Knight
Daughters of the Dragon
Alter Ego (apparently Jessica Jones' "Alias", but the Jennifer Garner series already used the name.)

Cloak and Dagger wasn't on the list, but it's one that actually is going forward. Personally, I would have been excited by the Eternals (described as "a race of superpowered beings live amid humanity in secret, inspiring legends")... but then I'll wait and see how well they do bringing these shows to the screen before I wish it on any properties I like.

Since I know that the Daughters of the Dragon have worked with the Heroes for Hire in the past & were actually on one form of the team so they could all be on one show. Moon Knight & The Hood could also work in the show.

But that is an interesting list.

I just hope that any of the shows that go forth don't end up like Birds of Prey (Name of a comic and only kind of related to what it's based off of) or Mutant X (name of a comic but totally unrelated to anything from any comic).
