Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (season 3) creator credits

By this season, it's more and more clear that this television series owes more to Jonathan Hickman's Secret Warriors than any of the Nick Fury series. At the same time, it's also going deeper and deeper down its own road. It's a science fiction ensemble drama, not really a super hero show. But it's good on its own merits.
