The Year In Comic Book TV

From Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim, this team series will take place in the same universe as CW’s other two superhero shows, Arrow and The Flash (using some characters who already debuted on the existing show).

Jessica Jones, the Marvel comics character is a martial arts expert who learned his skills and attained his superhuman energy in another dimension called K’un-Lun. (And K’un-Lun may have been teased in a subtle way during Daredevil season 1.)

Comic Book Published By: DC/Vertigo series by Chris Roberson and Mike Allred
While Arrow and other superhero shows steal some of the CW spotlight, iZombie has become a sleeper hit with a cult-favorite vibe mixing horror and humor.

According to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Peggy Carter was one of the founding members of S.H.I.E.L.D. — an unusual role for a woman back in the ’40s — so the series also ties into Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Depicting the archer Green Arrow from DC Comics, the show is not tied to the DC cinematic universe being developed by Warner Bros., but it’s already featured dozens of other DC heroes and villains in its three seasons, and its success led to the spin-off Flash series, as well as the upcoming CW team-up series, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.

Based within the same world as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been taking advantage of the success of Marvel movies by tying into stories movies like The Avengers: Age of Ultron and the upcoming The Inhumans movie. With Marvel movies more tied together than ever, the cohesiveness of the S.H.I.E.L.D. universe with Marvel’s cinematic one should only grow.

Daredevil
Season: The second season debuts March 18
Network: Netflix
Stars: Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Elodie Yung, Jon Bernthal
Comic Book Published By: Marvel Comics
The flagship show of Marvel’s partnership with Netflix, Daredevil set a unique tone and added a new facet to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sony broke new ground by launching an original series on its PlayStation Network the way Netflix and Amazon have done, and it was successful enough to warrant a second season for the show (although showrunner Charlie Huston will not return). Powers is among the incentives Sony offers in its $50-per-year PlayStation Plus memberships, which include access to the show’s episodes (as well as free games, discounts and other benefits). Based on the gritty comic of the same name, Powers follows a group of police detectives who investigate super-powered crimes and is aimed at adult audiences.
