Your guide to when these shows will air.
In the last fifteen years there has been a resurgence of live action comic book based adaptations. From the original Spider-Man trilogy to The Avengers, comic book characters have returned on the big-screen but thanks to shows like the WB’s Smallville, these characters have proven they can also be successful on the small-screen.
With six shows airing this fall and about a dozen more that are still in preproduction, it appears that the comic-book genre is alive and well and that it isn’t going anywhere.
Here's a list of all the upcoming shows.
