When "Rick and Morty" first started, you could make a case for it being one of the best adult cartoons on TV. Not the best – among other competing toons, "Bob's Burgers" was hitting its stride around the same time and "BoJack Horseman" would soon blow everyone away shortly after. But "Rick and Morty" was fresh, funny, and easy to obsess over. Nine seasons into its prospective 100 year run, however, the show is no longer as exciting as it once was.

But what are the best movies based on sci-fi books we've seen so far?

San Diego Comic-Con has become the go-to event for major announcements about big Hollywood franchises. 2026 was a lower-key year for the convention in terms of movie news ( Marvel's big Hall H panel withstanding), but on the TV side of things, it was busy as ever, with returning favorites and promising new series getting some time in the spotlight alike.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" proves that there's still plenty of life left in the MCU when it comes to these more ground-level narratives.
