Comic Book Live Action Series Introductions – Nerds on the Rocks

Comic Book Live Action Series Introductions

With the debut of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D this week, we thought it would be a great time to look at the history of live action comic book TV series. Throughout the week, we’ll be taking a look at various shows in different formats leading up to this week’s episode of Nerds on the Rocks.

To kick-it off, we have a poll up on the site asking for your favorite show. To help with that, figured we would also share the introductions to these shows to help freshen your memory a bit. And brief history.
