Every year in October, the Jacob Javits Center in New York City turns into a haven for fans of TV, films, comic books, video games, and many other points of pop culture. New York Comic Con is an annual affair that primarily highlights comic book creators and the culture that surrounds them but has grown to a platform for sneak peeks of future film and television properties.
While it may not have the glitz and glamour of the much larger San Diego Comic-Con, NYCC does have its share of big looks. From Netflix and DC highlighting their next comic book-based properties to Syfy, Amazon Prime, and others providing early looks at their 2019 slate of shows, to a look at the upcoming Dragon Ball Super: Broly film that's had Dragon Ball Z fans going crazy, this year's trailer were definitely intriguing.
If you weren't able to catch everything that dropped, don't worry; we've compiled all of this year's NYCC trailers into one place. As per usual, mark your calendars.
'Marvel's Daredevil' Season 3

To kick off New York Comic Con 2018, Netflix released the official trailer for the upcoming third season of Marvel's Daredevil. They'd already teased looks at the new, changed Matt Murdock / Daredevil, as well as the now-free Wilson Fisk, but they also showcased someone masquerading as Daredevil, effectively handing him his ass. Days later, we learned that was FBI Agent Benjamin Poindexter, which means that season 3 (which drops on October 19) will feature the debut of Bullseye. If you weren't ready before, you better get ready now!
'Aquaman'

With Aquaman being the only live-action superhero film hitting theaters during this final quarter of 2018, it made sense that we'd get something during NYCC. Most thought it'd be a new trailer, but Warner Bros. decided to drop over five minutes of footage from the film. While the gist of the piece boils down to "something, something, trident," we get a solid backstory to where Aquaman is from, setting the stage for what DC's December 21 release will be steeped in.
'Deadly Class'

Love the '80s and indie comic-influenced tales? Deadly Class should be right up your alley. Starring Lana Condor (To All the Boys I've Loved Before), Henry Rollins, and Benedict Wong, this series is about a secret high school in San Francisco that trains the worlds next assassins. It sounds dope, but when you realize that it's produced by The Russo Brothers (who are directors behind Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers 4), your interest should be piqued. Catch Deadly Class when it hits Syfy on January 16.
'Mortal Engines'

If you feel like you've been seeing trailers for Peter Jackson's Mortal Engines for the better part of the year, so have we. The film, which finally hits theaters on December 21, also got a new trailer, finally showing us life before cities went mobile and started consuming everything in sight.
'Harley Quinn'

Titans might be the first series to debut on the DC Universe streaming service, but they have a number in development, including the animated Harley Quinn series. It was announced during NYCC that The Big Bang star Kaley Cuoco would be voicing Harley Quinn in this series, and a teaser for the show dropped. The above clip is a fourth-wall-breaking bit that finds Harley explaining the series, even throwing shots at the Deadpool animated series that ended up getting canned. Should be interesting.
'The Boys'

With so many normal "superhero tales" hitting TV and film, it's dope to see a series like The Boys, which follows what could best be described as a superhero police force for superheroes who are acting foul. Based on Gareth Ennis' comic book series (which saw the writer try to "out-Preacher" his critically-acclaimed series Preacher), this Amazon Prime series was developed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who brought Preacher to AMC. Heads spun when the legend Simon Pegg joined the Boys panel during NYCC, and immediately brought hype to what could be one of the most talked-about superhero series in 2019
'Dragon Ball Super: Broly'
View this video on YouTube
The 20th film in the Dragon Ball series of movies will be a doozy. The first to carry the Super tag, Dragon Ball Super: Broly will retcon the origin story of Goku, Vegeta, and Broly, which will either sit well with Dragon Ball Z fans or completely piss them off. Depending on how you take in your anime, you might not see Broly in America for a bit; the film, which was announced in December 2017, is set to hit theaters in Japan on December 14, 2018.
'American Gods' Season 2

While they didn't give a specific date, season 2 of American Gods is set to hit in 2019. A new teaser for the Starz series hit during NYCC 2018. If you're new to the show, don't even bother hitting play, but definitely test the waters with this series. You might like it.
'She-Ra and The Princess of Power'

Debuting on Netflix on November 17 is She-Ra and The Princess of Power, a reboot of the 1985 animated series that is being developed by DreamWorks. And yes, that's totally the voice of black-ish star Marcus Scribner as Bow. Some scoffed at the redesign of She-Ra, but this more realistic take feels perfect for the world we're living in today.
'Good Omens'

If you've been missing David Tennant, Amazon Prime's Good Omens is where he ended up. The premise of the series from 1990 novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, and takes place in a fucked up 2018 where angels and demons walk the Earth, trying to quell the End of Days. With the likes of Jon Hamm and Michael McKean on the cast, it's set to be a wild ride.
'Star Trek: Discovery' Season 2
View this video on YouTube
If you're like us, you a) might not be the biggest fans of Star Trek while b) might not subscribe to CBS All Access. The service will be where Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone will air, but if you want to get more bang for your buck, and want to see more updated nostalgia, check out the trailer for season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery. It features a look at Spock! You can catch new episodes of Star Trek: Discovery airing weekly on CBS All Access beginning on January 17, 2019.
'Origins'

YouTube might be the last place many of you think of to get your sci-fi fix, but Origins might sway you. The YouTube Premium series, which is brought to you by the producers of Lost and The Crown, follows what happens when a group of people who've been abandoned in space. It looks terrifying and could be a dope take on the genre.
'Siren' Season 2
View this video on YouTube
The first season of Freeform's mermaid series Siren was so popping that it got a 16-episode order for season 2, which hits on January 24, 2019. Season 1 dived (heh) into the mysterious town of Bristol Cove, which is said to be home to mermaids. Season 2? We are set to meet more mermaids and mermen, as well as get more insight on the "Siren song," which could grab a hold to your soul. Sink or swim!
'Tell Me A Story'

Another interesting CBS All Access series is Tell Me A Story, which modernizes classic fairy tales. For example, The Three Little Pigs turns into a story of thieves robbing spots with pig masks on them (it's also set to flip Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel), and could be intriguing. Or it could be a waste.
'The Magicians' Season 4
View this video on YouTube
No shade, but do you know anyone who watches Syfy's The Magicians? Hell, it's hard to tell who truly rocks with magic outside of Dr. Strange and Harry Potter. Maybe there are just a lot of Magicians stans out there. Either way, Syfy is bringing season 4 on January 23, 2019, and celebrated by bringing over three minutes of footage for a special NYCC sneak peek.
