“Upload” Cast Brings Humor and Heart to Comic-Con Farewell Panel

The cast and creators of Amazon Prime Video’s sci-fi comedy hit “Upload” took the the Comic-Con stage Friday, celebrating the show’s journey, and teasing what’s to come in its fourth and final season. The actors spoke about the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

Moderated by The Office’s Brian Baumgartner, the panel featured creator Greg Daniels alongside stars Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards and Kevin Bigley, for a fast-paced, funny and at times emotional look back at the show’s exploration of identity, technology, and human connection.

A sneak peek from Season 4 was screened for fans, featuring Alicia (Zainab Johnson) in a hilariously unexpected new role.

One particularly memorable moment came when Amell, Allo, and Edwards rolled up sleeves to show off matching tattoos they got after filming wrapped.

The cast reflected on how their characters had changed, from Ingrid’s evolution beyond a high-maintenance villain to Luke’s surprising emotional depth beneath the comic relief.

Toward the end, Daniels revealed the cover of a new comic book titled Prefera, a digital-afterlife-themed story he’s working on with artist Tom Hoskisson and writer Izzy Kadish. The comic’s concept appears to echo Upload’s core ideas.

The most emotional moment came from Andy Allo, who paused to acknowledge how long the journey had been: “Seven years later, we’re finally here,” she said. “And we get to finish this with all of you.”

Upload Season 4 premieres August 25.

‘Gen V’ Season 2 Brings Surprises and Cameos to Comic-Con 2025

Ballroom 20 lit up Friday afternoon as Gen V stormed into Comic-Con with an electrifying panel. Cast members joined showrunner Michele Fazekas to debut the Season 2 trailer, packed with crowd-pleasing reveals, including surprise cameos from The Boys. Erin Moriarty’s Starlight and Chace Crawford’s The Deep drew cheers, while Black Noir II made a brief but notable appearance.

Fazekas confirmed that Gen V picks up right after The Boys Season 4, with Homelander now ruling America. “Now we get to see what that looks like,” she said, hinting at tensions both on campus and nationwide as resistance begins to stir.

New characters were also revealed, including Hamish Linklater’s unsettling Dean Cipher and Ethan Slater as the university’s namesake, Dr. Thomas Godolkin. The trailer also showed off Zach McGowan’s Dogknott, briefly, and violently.

One of the panel’s most emotional moments came as the cast honored the late Chance Perdomo. Rather than recast, the show wrote his character Andre out, with a heartfelt “For Andre” line in the trailer delivered by Sean Patrick Thomas.

The hour ended on a high with a surprise peek at The Boys Season 5, teasing grotesque new supes and unexpected appearances by Supernatural stars Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins.

Gen V Season 2 premieres September 17 on Prime Video.

Wonderstorm Unveils The Dragon King, a New Series Set in The Dragon Prince Universe

dragon-kingAt San Diego Comic-Con, Wonderstorm announced The Dragon King, a new animated series expanding the world of The Dragon Prince. Set seven years after the original Netflix series, the new story follows returning characters as they confront the reemergence of Aaravos and face world-altering challenges in a more mature narrative arc.

The series reunites Avatar: The Last Airbender veterans Jack De Sena (Sokka) and Dante Basco (Zuko), reprising and expanding their roles as Callum and Zym, respectively. Joining them is Critical Role’s Liam O’Brien, voicing a new antagonist who threatens the balance of Xadia.

Designed as a standalone entry, The Dragon King aims to appeal to both longtime fans and new audiences with epic battles and god-tier powers, while reflecting the evolution of its characters and viewers alike.

To support production, Wonderstorm is launching a Kickstarter campaign next month, offering fans behind-the-scenes access and participation in the creative process. The initiative underscores the studio’s commitment to independent storytelling and fan collaboration.

The Cast and Creators of “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” Took Over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con

The cast and creators of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con with new footage, returning stars, and a few surprises.

The panel kicked off with moderator Juju Green (aka Straw Hat Goofy) introducing director Emma Tammi and producer Jason Blum, to tease what’s coming in the sequel.

Tammi revealed there are over three times as many animatronics this time around, with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop once again handling the designs. “We wanted to make them feel real,” she said. “Like they could actually be standing in front of you.”

Josh Hutcherson (Mike) and Piper Rubio (Abby) returned to talk about where their characters are now: Abby is still grieving her animatronic friends and builds something for her science fair as a tribute, while Mike is trying to keep life normal.

New cast members Teo Briones and Theodus Crane joined the panel as well. Briones plays a paranormal vlogger in the sequel, while Crane’s character is a close friend who’s skeptical about a potential romance between Mike and Vanessa.

Matthew Lillard, who couldn’t attend in person, sent in a hilarious video message thanking fans for the success of the first film and joking that if enough people see the sequel, they’ll get to make a third.

He closed his message by introducing his Scream co-star Skeet Ulrich, who then walked onstage to loud cheers. Ulrich kept details about his role vague, only saying he plays someone with “a very specific past” and “a deep emotional tie to what’s going on.”

The panel closed with new footage, giving fans a glimpse at returning animatronics, including Mangle and the Marionette, along with promises of more action and deeper lore.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 hits theaters this December.

Rob Liefeld Returns to Youngblood With New Series and Star-Studded Covers

Rob-Liefeld-youngbloodRob Liefeld is returning to Youngblood for the first time in over 30 years, writing and illustrating a new series set to launch November 5 from Image Comics. The rebooted Youngblood (2025) #1 will feature a lineup of variant covers from top industry names, including Skottie Young, Daniel Warren Johnson, Ryan Stegman, Ryan Ottley, Kael Ngu, Erik Gist, and Mark Spears.

The new series sees the team facing a crisis in the Pacific as a deadly adversary emerges. Liefeld, one of Image’s founding creators and known for co-creating Deadpool, is back in full creative control—something Image Chief Creative Officer Eric Stephenson says has been missing in past revivals.

The announcement follows strong interest in Liefeld’s deluxe reprints earlier this year and includes a Comic-Con push. At San Diego Comic-Con, fans can attend a “Youngblood 33rd Anniversary” panel and pick up an SDCC-exclusive variant at the Image Comics booth.

Youngblood (2025) #1 will be available in comic shops and digitally via Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

Johnny Depp, Ridley Scott, and Mechanical Cake Launch Dark New Venture, HYDE

Jesse-Negron-Mechanical-CakeIn a rare pairing of Hollywood star power and comic book grit, Johnny Depp and Ridley Scott are teaming up with Mechanical Cake’s Jesse Negron to launch HYDE, a new entertainment venture unveiled ahead of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Created by Negron, HYDE reimagines the aftermath of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, exploring a world where Hyde has fully taken over. Set in the sewers beneath London, the story follows Hyde as he conducts twisted experiments to create others like himself. Depp will help shape the character and narrative, while Scott lends his world-building expertise as co-owner of the project.

“This is a no-brainer,” Scott said upon seeing early concept art. Depp called the project “insane and beautiful,” highlighting the creative freedom behind the venture.

The HYDE graphic novel will span two volumes—each over 200 pages—and is set to launch with a preview “ashcan” edition at Comic-Con this week. Attendees can pick up the limited edition at the panel HYDE: When the Worlds of Graphic Novels and Movies Collide, Thursday in Hall H, or pre-order the first chapter, due out this Halloween.

With a team that includes artists Gary Erskine and Chris Weston, and comic veteran Dave Elliott as editor, HYDE is poised to blur the line between graphic storytelling and cinematic ambition.

The “Ice Cream Man” Summer Scoop: New Sickly Sweet Flavors Coming Soon

ice-cream-manThe delectable, 2025 Eisner Award nominated series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran returns with a tasty tale of terror this July

Listen for the ear-worm jingle of the Ice Cream truck as it pulls up to the curb with a sickly sweet new Summer scoop…The darkly inventive, critically acclaimed comic book series by creators W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Old Neon will return with a yummy new tale of terror, Ice Cream Man #44, in July and the Ice Cream Man, Vol. 11 trade paperback collected edition in September from Image Comics.

This tantalizing tale will center around a job performance review gone wrong. Additional upcoming issues of the anthology will feature a twisted Hitchcockian Rear Window homage, a completely creepy tale of cryogenic anti-aging chambers, and a series of vintage medical ads that downplay some pretty shocking side effects.

“Golly. I can’t believe we’ve been putting this book out for 7.5 years,” said Prince. “In comic time, I think that makes us officially geriatric. And so, speaking as a veritable sequential grandpa, I’ll tell you this: I still don’t quite understand how and why we have made it this far. I mean, I am so proud of the corpus of tales we’ve assembled; Ice Cream Man is the defining artistic project of my life. (And I think I can probably say the same for my co-creators).”
