The line between the comics and movie universes continues to blur as Marvel have announced today a new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series from Mark Waid and a team of revolving artists including Carlos Pacheco, Alan Davis, and Chris Sprouse. It will introduce characters from the TV show to the Marvel Universe, and Agent Coulson is set to have a lead role. "He is the coolest Marvel Comics fan ever. E-V-E-R," Waid said of Clark Gregg, the actor who currently plays the character on TV. "He’s amazing at his job, he’s badass, he’s funny—and he loves the history of the Marvel Universe as much as I do." The format of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. won't be too different to the recent Moon Knight series, with a run off one-off stories. Each will seemingly feature an appearance from a well-known Marvel superhero though. "Done-in-one stories are more challenging, no doubt—and every story will focus on one mission, yes—but I’d be very surprised if there weren't some evidence of some common thread once we got rolling, something to give each set of issues more of an arc. Oh, we’re definitely bringing the gang in, from May to Fitz and Simmons and beyond," he revealed. "They're the Marvel Universe “versions” of these characters, which gives us license to really delve into them in ways that are tough with limited screen time each week." What do you guys think of the series?

I'd be down on this if it weren't Mark Waid. AOS has been a mixed bag at best, but if anyone can make it work he can.

"MCU is a different universe/continuity" blah blah blah.

Clearly, it's not!

So something really awesome mixed with something that's not cool at all? I'm going to have to contemplate about buying this series for a long time. Why couldn't Mark Waid just continue doing The Hulk instead?

YES! I can't wait to see the 616 version of the AoS team!

I wonder if Grant Ward is in it? And if so, is he the good guy this time around or is he still a Hydra mole?

Why?
I thought the movies or the movie continuity don't contradict the comics.

BritishMonkey - It's just introductions for these characters though, don't think they're going to use the plot of Agents of Shield in this comic run.

Haters will always hate. Go watch your ponies and sponges.

The show has gotten very good and having a comic book will hopefully keep it running for a very long time.

@TheRealRemyLebeau - Yeah, Tripplet is the agents' connection to the Golden Age. Hopefully he'll be in the comic as well. They need to include Deathlok, but maybe cyber him up some more.
