The new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy did the New York Comic Con thing today, debuting our first extended look at Kate Mulgrew's return as Captain Kathryn Janeway... or more specifically, Hologram Kathryn Janeway, the guiding force aboard the show's starship, the USS Protostar.

Check out the clip of Hologram Janeway, voiced by Kate Mulgrew, right here.

The debut episode of Prodigy was also shown to the in-person audience at New York Comic Con. And several new voice actors were announced for the show in recurring roles, including Daveed Diggs (Commander Tysess), Jameela Jamil (Ensign Asencia), Jason Alexander (Doctor Noum) and... Robert Beltran, who will reprise his role as Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager. (It was revealed that he's now a captain in the Star Trek timeline!) Seinfeld alumnus Jason Alexander previously appeared on Voyager's fifth season episode "Think Tank."

As opposed to Star Trek: Lower Decks, Prodigy is being billed as the more kid-friendly Trek animated series. As such, it will be streaming on Paramount+ beginning Oct. 28 and also make its way to Nickelodeon (though the exact timing there has yet to be released).

The NYCC panel included Kate Mulgrew and her fellow voice actors Brett Gray (Dal), Rylee Alazraqui (Rok-Tahk), and Dee Bradley Baker (Murf), plus executive producers Kevin and Dan Hageman, director and co-executive producer Ben Hibon, and Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Animation's Ramsey Naito. The rest of the main voice cast for Prodigy includes Angus Imrie (Zero), Jason Mantzoukas (Jankom Pog), and Ella Purnell (Gwyn).

Here's the official logline for the Star Trek: Prodigy series premiere, “Lost & Found”:

A group of lawless teens, exiled on a mining colony outside Federation space, discover a derelict Starfleet ship. Dal must gather an unlikely crew for their newfound ship if they are going to escape Tars Lamora, but the Diviner and his daughter Gwyn have other plans.

The one-hour Star Trek: Prodigy premiere hits on Thursday, Oct. 28, on Paramount+ in the U.S. Prodigy will also be available on Paramount+ in international territories including Latin America, the Nordics, and Australia.

The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes has joined Fortnite during its Fortnitemares 2021 event.

While Rick is appearing in Fortnite for the first time, he is joined in the Item Shop by returning Walking Dead outfits inspired by both Daryl Dixon and Michonne.

While Rick can be purchased by himself for 1,500 V-Bucks, the 1,900 V-Bucks Rick Grimes Bundle will also get players the Sheriff's Duffle Back Bling, the Crashin Satellite Glider, and the Walker Club Pickaxe.

If you want the complete Walking Dead collection, the 2,500 V-Bucks Survivors in Arms bundle includes Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and all their accompanying items.

This news arrives just after AMC revealed that Walking Dead's Season 11 Part 2's premiere date is February 20, 2022. This final run of episodes for the show that made its debut on October 31, 2010, will be available on February 13 for those who are subscribed to AMC+.

Rick joins an ever-growing list of spooky-themed costumes that will join Fortnitemares this year, including outfits based on Universal Pictures' monsters like Frankenstein and The Mummy. There are also Halloween-themed maps, games, and experiences made by the community that players can check out in the Fortnitemares playlist menu.

As many around the world have begun enjoying their brand-new Nintendo Switch - OLED Models, some have noticed that it comes with a protective screen already on it. According to Nintendo, it should not be removed as it will protect the users from any harm should the new glass screen break.

This "anti-scattering adhesive film" is a new addition by Nintendo as the original Switch and Switch Lite had no need for it as their screens were made of plastic whereas the OLED Model is made of glass. If the screen were to break, shards of sharp glass could cause harm, and this protective screen will help prevent any damage to the user being done. It also will help prevent any scratches on the screen as well.

We reached out to Nintendo for comment and it confirmed that the protective screen should stay on alongside mentioning that users can also add another screen protector on top of it if they so choose.

"As indicated on page 2 of the Nintendo Switch OLED Health and Safety Information and Usage Guidelines document (included in the box with the system), please do not peel off the anti-scattering adhesive film from the OLED screen of the console," a spokesperson from Nintendo of America said to IGN. "Nintendo sells an official OLED Model screen protector that fits the new screen, so yes you can use one. Here's the Product Info."

The Nintendo Switch - OLED Model was released on Friday, October 8, alongside Metroid Dread and, while it may not be a must-buy for everyone, the new screen is a great improvement and is worth a look for any who love using the Switch as a handheld.

In our Nintendo Switch - OLED review, we said, "The Nintendo Switch OLED model does enough right to make this mid-generation refresh worth the $50-$150 premium over the older models, assuming you don’t already have a Switch. At the same time, that $50 premium does not make sense for Switch owners who only (or even primarily) intend to play games in docked mode."

Fans of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples critically acclaimed comic book Saga can finally breathe easy. The series is returning to the stands in early 2022.

The two creators dropped the news during the "In Conversation With Brian K. Vaughan" panel at NYCC. Image Comics confirms the series will resume with Saga #55, which slated for release on January 26, 2022. Just as Saga debuted during Image's 20th anniversary celebration in 2012, the return is meant to mark the publisher's 30th anniversary.

“Other than my own family, collaborating with Fiona Staples on Saga is the most important thing in my life, so I can’t thank readers and retailers enough for their patience,” said Vaughan in a statement. “I think our next 54 issues will be even more shocking, strange, and spectacular than the first 54, so we can’t wait to be back on the shelves at your local comic shop soon.”

Staples said, “I've really missed connecting with readers through the pages of Saga, so I'm thrilled to roll up my sleeves and dive into this world again. The next arc is already going places I never imagined. I'm so grateful that we're able to keep doing this!"

Saga originally went on hiatus with issue #54 in 2018, marking the series' planned midway point. In the letter column for that issue, Vaughan wrote, "“After fifty-four issues and over 1,200 consecutive pages of sequential storytelling together, Fiona and I have decided to take an extended break before we eventually reunite with Saga #55. And unlike our usual three months of 'Vacationanza' between arcs, we plan to pause publication of this series for at least the next year.”

Obviously, that hiatus wound up lasting quite a bit longer than one year. Saga was included in IGN's Most Anticipated Comics of 2019 and Most Anticipated Comics of 2020 lists, with issue #55 failing to materialize either time. We opted not to bother for the 2021 list, but it's a safe bet the series will make one last return appearance for 2022.

If you're looking to catch up on Saga before the big return, Image recently published a Saga Compendium that collects all 54 issues so far.

A teaser trailer for the sixth season of Outlander premiered during the show's New York Comic Con panel on Saturday, October 9, ahead of its arrival in Early 2022.

The teaser was initially only available for attendees in person with those watching the livestream not able to view it. But a teaser was uploaded to Starz’s YouTube channel and Outlander social media accounts during the panel. It’s not clear if it’s the same teaser that was shown to the crowd.

Without further ado, may I present the official teaser for #Outlander Season 6! pic.twitter.com/sBF9HEWYRJ

— Outlander (@Outlander_STARZ) October 9, 2021

In the teaser, we see a glimpse of many of Outlander's characters before we see a sign being nailed to a board that reads "Refuse British Goods." Claire then says, "It's starting. The storm, the war... it's almost here." As she speaks, we see glimpses of the British soldiers and some of the tragedy that is set to befall some characters in the upcoming battles and winter season.

Executive producer Maril Davis talked about how the season was shortened by multiple episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite that, she still promises a “traumatic” and “packed” eight-episode season for the fans early next year.

“We filmed eight episodes but it feels like 20,” Davis said.

The panelists--consisting of the book’s author Diana Gabaldon, Davis, and lead actor Sam Heughan in person with actors Caitriona Balfe, John Bell, Lauren Lyle, and César Domboy joining virtually--promised a season that will heavily feature the Christie family. Heughan promises trouble from the Christies and says it will make for some good TV for the fans.

“You’ll love them and hate them,” Heughan said.

The Outlander season five finale aired in May 2020. After delayed production due to COVID-19, Starz announced in June 2021 that Outlander would receive a shortened eight-episode season six in early 2022, according to Deadline.

Due to the shortened season six, Deadline says Starz promised a 16-episode season seven and a 90-minute premiere episode for season six. Davis announced during the panel that season seven will film in 2022.

Sonequa Martin-Green and the crew of the USS Discovery were on hand at New York Comic Con 2021 today to debut the official Season 4 trailer for the flagship Trek series on Paramount+. Key art for the season was also revealed, featuring Martin-Green as now-Captain Michael Burnham, complete with the new uniform design that we first glimpsed in the Disco teaser from last April.

You can watch the Season 4 trailer right here:

Let’s fly ✨ #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek https://t.co/NUVqZXAdrS pic.twitter.com/ZqJvodfqft

Here's the logline for the season from Paramount Plus:

Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery finds Captain Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery facing a threat unlike any they’ve ever encountered. With Federation and non-Federation worlds alike feeling the impact, they must confront the unknown and work together to ensure a hopeful future for all.

The new season of Disco hits the Paramount streaming service on Thursday, Nov. 18. Check out the key art right here:

The NYCC Discovery panel included Martin-Green as well as her co-stars Anthony Rapp (Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Culber), David Ajala (Booker), and Blu del Barrio (Adira), plus showrunner and executive producer Michelle Paradise. The team was pretty tight-lipped about the new season, but they did drop a few hints about what to expect from their character arcs in year four.

Martin-Green spoke about her character's finally taking the captain's chair on a permanent basis, saying there are a lot of things that need to be learned and a lot of discoveries and challenges for Michael. And every relationship is affected by it because all of a sudden there’s a sort of distance that occurs, a bit of stepping back that has to happen so the captain can make the best decision for the entire crew.

The cast were asked how the “anomaly” threat of the season affects each member of the crew. Stamets is a scientist first and foremost, so he’s driven to solve this riddle day and night. Tilly is great at science, “so that helps,” said Wiseman. She’ll also be feeling more responsibility in a position of leadership this season. That combined with the events of Season 3 spirals her off into a personal journey of investigation. Culber will be taking on double duty as a medical officer as well as the ship’s counselor, and the danger of the anomaly means that there will be great anxiety among the crew. For inspiration, Cruz looked to the doctors and health professionals in the real world and how they have dealt with the pressures of COVID-19. Martin-Green added that none of the characters were expecting a threat this big so soon after jumping to the future, but that the true character of the crew comes out during this moment of pressure.

Paradise also mentioned that the Federation president who you can spot in the trailer is a Cardassian/Bajoran/Human - this is the 32nd century, after all!
