Disney’s Marvel and Netflix Join Forces to Develop Historic Four Series Epic plus a Miniseries Event Based on Renowned Marvel Characters

Landmark Deal Brings Marvel’s Flawed Heroes of Hell’s Kitchen, led by “Daredevil,”

to the World’s Leading Internet TV Network in 2015

Burbank, Calif. – Nov 7, 2013—The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) and Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) today announced an unprecedented deal for Marvel TV to bring multiple original series of live-action adventures of four of Marvel’s most popular characters exclusively to the world’s leading Internet TV Network beginning in 2015. This pioneering agreement calls for Marvel to develop four serialized programs leading to a miniseries programming event.

Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

Produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Television Studios, this groundbreaking deal is Marvel’s most ambitious foray yet into live-action TV storytelling.

Dear Wall Street Cheat Sheet:

My favorite X-Men movie is Superman, and my favorite Fox motion picture studio is Warner Bros., so I was disappointed that The Crow was excluded from your list of upcoming X-Men movies.
 
Well, that's that. I have to find a way to get a better internet connection at home and then I have to get a Netflix account.
 
Fantastic Four Relaunched By James Robinson And Leonard Kirk In February, Announced For Real This Time - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

The FF evicted from the Baxter Building and facing the Avengers. The Thing in prison for murder. Johnny Storm powerless. Dragon Man sentenced to death. The imagination of Sue and Reed Richards’ son Franklin becoming all too real while his younger sister is on her own.

Ultimately, Robinson reveals, his upcoming run is about “a family finding the strength to face adversity through the help and love of each other.”

Debuting in February as part of Marvel’s “All-New Marvel Now” initiative, the new Fantastic Four series brings together Robinson and artist Leonard Kirk to add to the legacy of the supergroup Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created in 1961.

That’s a pretty nifty Alex Ross cover there, too. Robinson tells them;

“We’re going to see the fragmentation of the family due to villainous outside forces that are slowing picking at them and eroding them,” Robinson says. “The arc I’m going to be telling is basically the fall and the rise of the Fantastic Four, and especially the fall and rise of Johnny Storm.”

Big fan of Robimson, and the FF have always been my favorite team...may be time to look in.

I was, but I got behind on it and stopped reading it and then it got cancelled. I was still enjoying it (especially Allred's art) and am still planning to get myself caught up on what's been published.

Is This The End For Stormwatch? (UPDATE) - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

Wait. Why does old school LOBO seem to be part of this group? Is that failure pile over already? Can someone who is in the know let me in on what Lobo's status is?

I don't read any of the stuff involving Lobo, but from what I've read elsewhere Lobo as you know and love him (or, as much as you could in New52) was already appearing regularly in Stormwatch. They did a new origin for him and everything. Then Twilight Lobo showed up and, from what I've read, was calling old school Lobo a fake/imposter. Even though he had already had an origin story and all that.

What's happened since then, I have no idea. As much as I love Jim Starlin, he ain't the writer he used to be.
 
Yeah, well they had teased some battle to the death with new Lobo vs LoboCLASSIC...seems pretty fragging dumb. Nobody in their right minds would prefer that poncey little git to the Main Man. But then the NEW 52(rhymes with peeeeeeeeeeee ewwwwwwwwwww) has been synonomous with bad decisions and shortsightedness. I read this morning that the Metal Men were coming back. WHY? Hawkman/Question/Demon/Hawk&Dove/Blackhawks/JSA and so on are properties that DC trots out everytime they decide to try to make themselves relevant again just to cancel 14 issues in. I truly wish at this point that Marvel would just buy the DC universe. As many problems as I have with Marvel at least they have a vision. Hell, Disney will more than likely buy out Warner Brothers at some point so all I have to do is keep breathing to see that happen. Thanks for the info on Stormwatch...shame to hear that about Starlin, but I couldn't imagine that his VERY 70's mindset would translate well. Hell, looking back on it, for me that was Marvel's golden age. Gerber w/Man Thing & Howard the Duck, Power Man & Iron Fist, all that groovy space stuff. End of rant.

Booby calls it the New FiftyPoo. It's too bad she doesn't post here anymore, you should hear her ranting about how they've made Batman suck.

It's really a bad situation that's getting worse. I'm down to, I think, 4 books they're still putting out: Batman (main title), Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing and Animal Man. And all of them I'm considering dropping. Except maybe Wonder Woman. But, man, this past week was the first time since 1998 that I did not buy the new issue of John Constantine's book. I gave the new 52 Constantine an honest try, but it's just not the same anymore. Maybe it's selling better than the Vertigo book did, but, ****, it's a watered-down version of him. I can't do it anymore.

It was, but that stuff doesn't work anymore. Comics have evolved differently. I read Starlin's old Warlock stuff today and I still love the **** out of it, but I am constantly aware of how much text there is and how much of it is actually somewhat extraneous. If I tried giving something like that to Booby, I don't think she'd get through the first issue. Same thing can be said for Steranko and the Claremont X-Men.

I hear Starlin is going to do something with Thanos for Marvel soon. I'll give that a try, but... yeah, it's been a while since he's written anything I really liked.
