This is so cool.  According to Hollywood Reporter Joss Whedon is developing a television based upon S.H.I.E.L.D (Supreme Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division) for ABC.  The best thing about this is that a S.H.I.E.L.D series can deal with more traditional threats as well as those of a super-powered nature.

It’s uncertain if Whedon will direct the pilot, but I am sure that he will be involved on some level beyond developing the property.
