I am – Hercules!! Jeph Loeb, one of the senior writer-producers NBC ordered fired in 2008 from “Heroes” (to little avail), has been appointed to oversee Marvel Entertainment’s new TV division. Loeb, whose screenwriting career launched in the 1980s with the screenplays for “Teen Wolf” and the Whoopi Goldberg vehicle “Burglar” (and a story that formed the basis of “Commando”), went on to write four episodes of “Smallville” and four episodes of “Heroes.” He also briefly served as supervising producer for one dozen 2006 “Lost” episodes before leaving to join “Heroes.” When somebody points out to Tim Kring that “Heroes” seems to lift key elements from famous comic books, Kring often protests that he doesn’t read comics. Loeb, however, has a long history reading and writing comics. Loeb has written for such Marvel funnybooks as Cable, X-Force, X-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Wolverine and Hulk. Most tragically, he took over The Ultimates from Mark Millar in 2007 and fucking ruined it. Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here. Follow Herc on Twitter!! Follow Evil Herc on Twitter!!
