Stars Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer, aka the Atom), Ciara Renee (Hawkgirl), Arthur Darvill (Rip Hunter), and executive producer-writer Phil Klemmer were on hand to promote the show.

Howard the Duck and Squirrel Girl Are Teaming Up
For their final NYCC announcement this weekend, Marvel revealed that Howard the Duck and Squirrel Girl will be teaming up in 2016. Which begs the question why the Marvel Universe even needs super-teams like the Avengers or X-Men when this Dynamic Duo is keeping the peace.
This two-issue crossover will be taking place in Squirrel Girl #6 (written by Ryan North and drawn by Erica Henderson) and Howard the Duck #6 (written by Chip Zdarsky and drawn by Joe Quinones.

Evangelion 3.33 Blu-ray Release Date Announced
Evangelion 3.33 will release on Blu-ray and DVD on February 2, 2016, FUNimation announced during its panel at New York Comic Con.
The movie, officially titled Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo, was originally supposed to be released in February 2014, Anime News Network notes. The project suffered a delay, FUNimation announced at the time, because it was working directly with Khara so that the studio could include its own special subtitle tracks.
Marvel’s Nuke Looks to Be Part of Jessica Jones
Obviously we don't have 100% confirmation on this since nothing's been announced, but from our interview with actor Wil Traval below, it appears that Daredevil foe Nuke will be introduced on Marvel's Jessica Jones.
Traval mentioned that he's playing a character named "Simpson" on the show, and that he's based on post-Vietnam War super-soldiers. Though "reinvented" a bit for this new Netflix series.
Created for by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, Nuke (real name Frank Simpson) was a disturbed, cybernetically-altered ex-soldier notable for having an American flag tattooed on his face. Initially, Nuke was hired by Kingpin to exterminate Daredevil. He was part of a super-soldier program that enhanced his abilities. He can alter his adrenaline levels and strength with pills.
Jessica Jones Premieres and it’s Decidedly Adult
At New York Comic Con tonight, the producers and the entire cast (minus David Tennant, who is currently in a play in London) from Marvel's Jessica Jones were on hand for a big panel for the show and what we assumed would be the debut of a bunch of new footage - similar to how NYCC last year was where several long scenes from Daredevil debuted. Instead, a big surprise was in store, as the entire first episode was screened, to very enthusiastic response.
While a full review is coming down the line, I will say Jessica Jones starts out with a strong premiere episode that firmly marks the series as the most mature Marvel Cinematic Universe project to date. Yes, Daredevil took the MCU into much darker, more violent places, but Jessica Jones not only matches that, it goes further.
Bruce Campbell to Join Mallrats 2
Filmmaker Kevin Smith managed to pull off a casting coup while moderating today's Ash vs. Evil Dead panel at New York Comic Con.
As one point, Smith turned to panelist Bruce Campbell and asked, "I'm making my next movie in January. It's called Mallrats 2. Bruce, will you be in it?" To which Bruce said "Hell yeah!"
Obviously, we can all now ponder if this leads to an actual deal being made, but at least Smith has plenty of witnesses to the verbal agreement!
Smith said in May that the sequel was actually titled Mallbrats. Its cast already includes Jason Lee (returning as slacker Brodie Bruce), Shannen Doherty, Michael Rooker, Jason Mewes and Ethan Suplee.
