ComicBook had the chance to catch up with both, Jeph Loeb, and Clark Gregg at this year's NYCC. Jeph starts off by telling how season one is different from season two, the new characters that will appear in the series and he also reveals that Joss Whedon was involved in some things put into their newest season:

"We cheated, a little bit. I mean we had Joss Whedon involved. It did help. But by the same token, we had the same challenge of being able to get out there and introduce a world that had not been really explored. Some was explored already in the comics, but we had new characters and that's an enormous task to do.

To be here now in the second season and have people respond the way that they are, not just to what we’re doing, but to the new characters too is exciting. Characters like, Lance Hunter (Nick Blood), and the excitement around the appearance of Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) is so much fun. It's why we do it!"

Later in the interview, Clark Gregg talked about playing Agent Phil Coulson and everything the character has went through since the release of the Avengers film. He also told how he thought that the whole theme of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was going to change after the events Of Captain America: The Winter Soldier:

"I’ve been playing this guy on and off for 6 years now. And now very on. A lot of my experience really mirrors his a lot. I was trying to put together a fairly inexperienced new team of agents/actors and tell a story in a new medium. It felt very overwhelming and I had no idea how I got there….because I thought I was dead. And that's very much how Coulson felt.

It felt like an existential crisis. How did I get here? What I was told was a lie. The people I trusted most are lying to me. I thought we kept secrets from those guys, not me! And it was a cracking open, and a life crisis in a way. It seemed like all was lost at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

I thought they were going to have to change the name of the show!"

They showed tonight's episode at the panel, and it's really good. Expect a twist, and a twist to the twist. Great action fight scenes too.

Still don't understand the Jeph Loeb hate... maybe because I don't watch the animated stuff. The live-action TV stuff he's doing is fan-[frick]ing-tastic.

Can't believe people are still whining about ratings. AoS isn't going anywhere. It's ABC's highest rated show for Tuesdays. The only issue it has is TERRIBLE lead-in shows.

Show has been excellent this season, every episode so far...it hitting it's stride big time...

DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 10:15 AM
Lol marvelites only talk about the debut of aos what about the rest of the season? Why havent tne ratings come back? Season premiees of the walking dead and breaking bad among other shows always got bgger. Where are the marvel fans for this show

DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 10:17 AM
The blacklist on nbc also bounced back. The only show stuck is aos as it is the lowest rated cb show on tv now.
DCGuy
DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 10:19 AM
Right now aos is about to become the lowest rated cb show of it keeps like this
DCGuy
DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 10:20 AM
From 17 mill to 4 mill... Again why havent the viewers come back? Twd gets bigger number and they take multi month breaks and long ones at that
batz11
batz11 - 10/14/2014, 10:30 AM
Point was, premieres are usually highest rated...Flash is really good, so may stay near the premiere numbers, but probably go down, like most other shows...plus, competition on other networks can be a big factor...I was just comparing the both pilots premiere numbers...

AOS season 2 has been solid. People hating on it aren't watching it anymore. I think they have a battle ahead to regain the fans they lost last season before the Winter Soldier impact hit. I think that's a good thing though because it puts pressure on them to step it up and hopefully it will bring out the best in the show.

Ragnaroknroll - 10/14/2014, 10:35 AM
The Flash was promising but pretty corny at times. The acting is AOS is much better IMO.

I know Jeph Loeb is responsible for some pretty horrid dreck but with Tim Sale he's also created some of absolute favorite comics: Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Superman For All Seasons, Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue.

DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 10:40 AM
Aos peaked in the premire sadly. Its lost more than 10 mill fans thats just sad i rather have low ratings then peak and fizzle out

@DCGuy

If you want to compare properly. AOS's debut had 12million viewers in live. Last week's episode had a little over 4million. That's live viewing.

In DVR numbers, it's adding by a higher percentage now than it was then.
DCGuy
DCGuy - 10/14/2014, 12:12 PM
@mercwithmouth flash got the dvr numbers of +3 bro it got 6 mill and its not comparing pilot to pilot its just recent numbers thats being fair. While comparing these numbers arent fair since different channels time and blah blah flash and aos are the closest cb shows that should compete not gotham not arrow but flash and aos because they share the same day audience and similar hours thats direct competition

@DCGuy

I have no idea why you mention Flash. I made no mention of it. You compared AOS's pilot at 17million(that's including 7 days of DVR), to AoS last week at 4million(with no DVR viewings) sayin fb that it lost over 10 million viewers. I was simply fixing your math. I don't give a damn about Flash's ratings, as it's on the CW. The ratings for it will likely settle between 2.5-3 million viewers per episode which would be great numbers for the CW.

AoS is not in any trouble. It's ratings are fine for the timeslot it's in, and it's still ABC's highest rated show on Tuesday.

@mercwithmouth bro shut up a show on cw beats abc in ratings? Thats absurd
