Man, this day just keeps getting better. Just a little while ago I ordered my copy of Brian Michael Bendis’ Alias so I could get started on the Jessica Jones story before her series hits Netflix. Meanwhile, news the streaming (ha, just Freudianed “steaming”) service had made a huge announcement hit the interwebs.

But here we are a Daredevil later, and things seem pretty darned good. Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones is on her way, along with Mike Colter’s Luke Cage; he’ll get his own series, and then we’ll get Iron Fist and The Defenders.

And now, at yesterday’s Television Critics Association panel, Netflix amped up everything by a kazillionty percent (that’s a lot) with their announcement we’ll be getting a new Marvel superhero series every six months, which means NO MORE WONDERING WHEN THE NEXT ONE’S COMING. Additionally, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos says there’s a good possibility Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will be getting his own spinoff show.
