Joss Whedon To Develop Marvel-based TV Series for ABC

The man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Dollhouse, Angel and many other titles signs on a deal to work on developing a Marvel-based live-action series for ABC. His most recent works includes the box office record holder for largest opening weekend ever ($207 million) The Avengers. On the same day of the new signed deal he announced that he would direct The Avengers sequel.

Personally I think it would be a great project for the small screen since there are dozens of super heroes and potential for amazing storylines but there are some doubts too since ABC already failed in launching a TV series based on super heroes/people with special abilities with No Ordinary Family.
