Ben Karlin, former executive producer of
The Daily Show and
The Colbert Report, is developing a new show called
Damage Control for Marvel TV, and ABC has just given it a pilot order.
The half-hour live action comedy will follow the clean-up crew of the Marvel universe. Deadline describes them like this:
Specializing in dealing with the aftermath of the unique fallout from superhero 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 superhero battle, or even track down a missing prize African parrot that’s been turned to stone or goo.
The team has never had their own ongoing comic book, but has appeared often in Marvel stories since the late '80s, including making an appearance in
Civil War (though they won't be in the film adaptation). You can read more about them
