Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television, will lead a panel for Marvel's Daredevil -- which is set and shot completely in New York -- at NYCC on Saturday, October 11 with Marvel's Daredevil show-runner Steve S.

Then, fans will experience the world premiere of an all-new episode of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., before it debuts on ABC on Tuesday, October 14th, in a panel moderated by Loeb.

"New York City is home to Marvel and some of the greatest fans in the world, so we ensured that Marvel Television brought its biggest panels ever to this NYCC!," said Jeph Loeb, Marvel's Head of Television. "Not only will fans get to experience our incredible partnership with Netflix as we introduce the cast of Marvel's Daredevil for the first time, but they'll get to see the world premiere of a new Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episode and their first look at the future of all their favorite super heroes courtesy of Marvel Animation."
