And off we go! Sunday the good folks at Marvel and ABC posted the first TV spot for the new fall series by Joss Whedon with the exceptionally long name, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. First off you’ll want to know that their preferred hashtag is #AgentsOfSHIELD and/or #CoulsonLives, at least for now.

“We work the cases that S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn’t classified. The strange. The unknown. It’s not just spy vs. spy any more. The whole world’s in on the action” intones the wonderfully if mysteriously alive Agent Coulson:

Great, right? But wait, there’s more! They’ve set up a great website to check out, at AgentsOfSHIELD.com:

If you “proceed” you’ll be taken to agentsofshield.com/blog where you’ll see the paranoid tweets and posts of The Rising Tide, who suspect all sorts of interesting things about this mysterious group:

It’s a lovely bit of fun marketing that you should check out. If on the other hand you click on “What is S.H.I.E.L.D.?” you’re taken to this Marvel site:

And in case you missed it last week, here’s the official synopsis:

Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet). From Executive Producers Joss Whedon (“Marvel’s The Avengers,” ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”); Jed Whedon & Maurissa Tancharoen, “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” pilot co-writers (“Dollhouse,” “Dr.Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”); Jeffrey Bell (“Angel,” “Alias”); and Jeph Loeb (“Smallville”) comes Marvel’s first TV series. “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” is produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television.

We’ll keep you posted!
