If you pay attention to the nerdy side of the Internet—which, I'm assuming, most of you do—you know that this past weekend/half of last week was Comic Con in San Diego. It is a time of huge reveals, massive crowds, and lines that go on for days, and it's one of the most amazing experiences I've ever been a part of. (We went a few times a few years ago; sadly, we haven't been in much too long.)
While being awesome, the event can also be utterly overwhelming, particularly if you try to follow every newsy bit that's announced. That said, I'm very thankful for the news outlets that do cover everything (or almost everything), because it makes me feel a little less like I've missed out.
I'm highlighting a few of my favorite things from the event below, but do let me know if I missed any of your faves in the comments!
Wonder Woman
This looks really, really, really good.
Star Trek: Discovery
As much as I enjoy the movies, I'm super excited that Star Trek's going to be back on the small screen. More details here.
Doctor Strange
This looks very Inceptiony. And .. that's basically the extent of my knowledge about this, haha. Other than that I'm excited Benedict's joined the Marvel 'verse. More details here.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
It's not exactly new Harry Potter, but it's close enough (and looks fun enough) for me. More details here.
American Gods
I read this book many years (and many books) ago, so I barely remember the plot. But I do remember loving it, and Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite people, so I'm here for this for sure. More details here.
Sherlock
The three words revealed about the show's fourth season? "Thatcher, Smith and Sherrinford." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ More details here.
Also of note:
- The first Justice League footage was shown at the con. (Two thoughts: 1. It looks better than Batman v. Superman. 2. That's really not saying much.)
- Here are some details on what's to come in season 4 of The 100.
- The upcoming Riverdale series—based on recent Archie comics, made for The CW—sounds very interesting.
- Sharing #becauseTomHiddleston: A trailer for Kong: Skull Island.
- Here's a trailer for the new Marvel/FX mutant series, Legion.
- Kurt Russell will play Ego the Living Planet—or the human form of said living planet—in Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Also revealed: images of his costume.
- Marvel also revealed more info about the Black Panther cast and officially announced Brie Larson as Captain Marvel.
- Spider-Man: Homecoming will be kinda like Freaks and Geeks?
- Here's a trailer for The Lego Batman Movie.
- Here's some info on the various Marvel/Netflix series: Daredevil, Luke Cage, The Defenders, and Iron Fist.
- Ghost Rider will appear in the next season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
- And here's what's in store for season 2 of Supergirl (which, reminder, will now be on The CW).
