"Marvel's Damage Control"


          

If they play their cards right, this could be very good.

http://www.thewrap.com/marvels-damage-control-half-hour-comedy-gets-script-order-at-abc/

Single camera sitcom about people who clean up after superheroes comes from “Daily Show” alum Ben Karlin

Marvel and ABC are getting into the comedy game.

The broadcast network has given a put-pilot commitment to “Damage Control,” a half hour, single camera comedy that follows the overworked, underpaid, clean up crew of the Marvel Universe.

Specializing in dealing with the aftermath of the unique fallout from super hero conflicts, they’re the ones who are in charge of returning lost ray guns to their rightful owners, help to
reschedule a wedding venue after it has been vaporized in a super hero battle, or even track down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo.


“Damage Control,” based on the comic book series of the same name, hails from Ben Karlin, known for being an executive producer on “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report,” as well as a co-EP on “Modern Family.”

Karlin with executive produce along with David Miner and Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s head of television. “Marvel’s Damage Control” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

This could be very hit or miss. This is one of the few Marvel comic books that I have never read, but the idea is very intriguing.

seems like this would have been perfect for a Marvel One-Shot to get a feel for it.

Or maybe they want to wait a minute to better work it into the films.
