Comic-Con is upon us, and while this year’s festivities are a bit less festive than previous years’ offerings—on account of all the actors being on strike, and all—that doesn’t mean the true stars of the annual convention aren’t out in force. That’s right: Trailers! Because who wants to hear an actor talk about their movies and shows, when you could actually watch parts of them yourself—possibly with a pop song that’s had its tempo altered in some ironically inappropriate way playing over it.
Here, then, are the hottest trailers from this year’s Comic-Con, including appearances from The Walking Dead, Invincible, and even a couple of TV shows and movies not based on the comic books of Robert Kirkman. (Including The Wheel Of Time, Interview With The Vampire, One Piece, and many more.)
Let’s dive in!
Update, 7/22/23: We’ve now included all the trailers—there are a lot of them!—from today’s Star Trek panel at the Con.
Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | “Subspace Rhapsody” Trailer (SDCC 2023) | Paramount+
It’s been a bizarrely quiet Comic-Con Saturday today, with none of the usual superhero hubbub that normally makes this one of the busiest pop culture news days of the year. But at least Star Trek is here to serve up some sizzle, as Paramount+ rolled out new footage for all three extant Trek shows. Firstly, the upcoming final season of got an extended tease, showing off a sequence in which Michael Burnham ends up getting sucked out into space after a confrontation gone wrong. (Also, consider this your regular reminder that David Cronenberg is now a borderline regular on this show, which is never not weird to us.)Over in animation, got a full trailer for its September-premiering fourth season, showing the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos maybe, possibly, getting out of the “Lower Decks” at last. (It also contains a reference to the show’s bizarre, very funny-looking crossover with Strange New Worlds, which was released earlier today—and which sees Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid play live-action versions of their animated characters.)And, speaking of: is currently in the midst of its second season, but it got a trailer, too: Specifically, for its upcoming musical episode, “Subspace Rhapsody,” which will see Anson Mount and the rest of the crew of the Enterprise apparently breaking in to song. It looks, we cannot deny, pretty cute.

“MAX: Better hurry up an watch because we’re getting rid of everything.”
What will a live-action One Piece provide that the anime and manga can’t?
An additional revenue stream?
I thought Killing It had been canceled. Good News that it hasn’t.
