ABC Is Developing a Marvel Universe Based Comedy, “Damage Control”

(via Variety)

As ABC already has Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter and NBC has their own DC universe sitcom in development, it only seems inevitable that this would happen.

Damage Control will follow the folks that have to clean-up the mess that always comes with superheroes saving the world from potential annihilation. It’s not unlike NBC’s DC project, Powerless, which follows the employees of an insurance company in the DC universe.

This project comes from veteran producer Ben Karlin who has a career ranging from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to Modern Family. 

It will be fascinating if both Powerless and Damage Control go to series, furthering the rivalry between DC and Marvel.
