THE SEASON FINALE IS STREAMING
Marvel Television / Disney+
Watch first.
Scroll later.
The VisionQuest finale is here. If you’re still catching up, get it watched before diving into finale discussions.
We’re keeping the reveals out of this roundup.
Watch on Disney+ →DC Studios · November 9
Gunn and Safran hand over the studio. Their films continue.
Skydance has named Jeremy Latcham president and chief creative officer of DC Studios, starting December 1. James Gunn and Peter Safran are leaving leadership roles to return to creative work.
The distinction matters: the announcement still lists Gunn writing and directing Man of Tomorrow, due July 9, 2027. A leadership change does not, by itself, announce a reboot or cancellation of that film.

GTA VI is still pointing to November 19.
Take-Two’s November 9 results list the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release for November 19. Rockstar’s current site says pre-loading is available, with its pre-load update dated November 10.
An older June announcement listed November 12 for pre-loading; the newer Rockstar update takes precedence. We’re using the current official date, rather than circulating another delay rumor.

This weekend in Georgia
Magic’s biggest stage
is coming to Atlanta.
MagicCon brings three days of games, artists, panels, and World Championship 32 to Georgia this weekend. Badges are sold out, but the action isn’t limited to the convention floor.
Going in person? Three things to check.
- Download the app: it has the map, exhibitors, and your personal schedule.
- Activate your physical badge: this is required to collect included merchandise.
- Check event registration: ticketed play can sell out, and registration closes one hour before the event.

MAGIC: THE GATHERING
STAR TREK
Play / Magic: The Gathering
Star Trek launches Friday.
Arena is already live.
The official tabletop release is Friday, November 13. Prerelease runs November 6–12, while Arena launched November 10. Those are three different dates, even if you already have cards in hand. Quick Draft starts November 19.
The free Set Mastery track offers up to 36 Star Trek packs and five Mastery Orbs. Picard’s avatar and Tribble companions are part of the separate paid Mastery Pass.
Draft or Sealed? A quick explanation
In Draft, you select cards from packs, then build with your picks. In Sealed, you build from the packs you open. Both explore the new set without requiring a deck you brought from home. Entry costs and rules vary by event.

Release-week update · November 11
Five days in: the games and the turnout tell different stories.
We checked prerelease discussions on Reddit and public creator posts ahead of Friday’s launch. There’s enthusiasm for the gameplay, criticism of the artwork and release pace, and very different attendance stories depending on the store.
Synergies are getting attention.
Players in r/mtglimited described enjoyable Sealed decks built around Borg cards, repeated enter-the-battlefield effects, and mana fixing. One player reported a 3–0 result with a mostly-common Borg core and removal.
That’s a useful early impression, not evidence that Borg is the format’s best deck.
Cards mentioned in player reports
Holo-Engineer, Troubling Tribbles, Picard, Leading by Example, and Xindi Surveyors appeared in one detailed player write-up. Treat these as cards to investigate, rather than a ranked list or verified win-rate leaders.
A quieter event isn’t the whole market.
Some Reddit posters described sharply lower prerelease attendance. Others reported full events. The main prerelease thread also includes a first-time player who said Star Trek was what brought them into Magic.
Those accounts can coexist. They don’t establish nationwide attendance, total sales, or how the set will perform after launch.
Examples, with the limits attached
Self-reported, not independently verified: one r/mtgfinance commenter reported 60 attendees versus about 120 at previous prereleases; another reported a full house. A separate November 11 post described a sold-out 64-player Monday event in Chicago.
Different stores, event times, capacities, and comparisons make these unsuitable for calculating an overall turnout change.
Early data needs context.
Untapped’s Star Trek Sealed page listed 12,000 tracked matches when checked November 11. That is Arena tracker activity, not paper prerelease attendance or a count of unique players.
We haven’t verified a comparable card-level sample and filter window, so we’re not turning it into a “best cards” ranking or a price forecast.
What the social posts add
LoadingReadyRun promoted six rounds of its Star Trek Pre-PreRelease on Bluesky. It offers gameplay to watch, but the event was disclosed as sponsored by Wizards. It is not an independent audience survey.
Watch the sponsored gameplay recording →Public-source snapshot, November 11. Reddit comments are self-selected player reports. Public Bluesky posts were checked; X/Instagram searches did not yield a usable representative sample.
Collectibles
Something else for the collection.

Collect / Pokémon
The Happy Meal collection
has two checklists.
Pokémon Happy Meals returned to participating U.S. McDonald’s November 10. Each includes one miniature toy and two cards, while supplies last.
There are seven foil cards in the 15-card lineup. The toys are Pokémon-themed miniature Happy Meal boxes that clip onto bags or keys, giving collectors something beyond the cards to track down.
What comes in the promotion?
One toy and two cards per meal. Toy and card collections are separate, so finishing one doesn’t automatically finish the other. Availability varies by restaurant.
Comics
New readers welcome. Deep cuts included.
DC / Harley Quinn #71
Harley’s next stop: Paris.
Joanne Starer and Lukas Ketner take over with issue #71 on February 24, 2027. Before the international caper, Harley has an adult bat mitzvah on the calendar. A new look by David Nakayama follows with #72.
Why it matters: a new creative team and story direction make this a run to watch if you’ve been looking for a place back into Harley.

Dark Horse / Darrington Press
Critical Role’s horror world gets a new case.
Candela Obscura is getting a graphic novel series with a new cast of occult investigators. Tini and Blake Howard write, with art by Fernando Heinz Furukawa. Volume 1 is a 56-page hardcover scheduled for August 3, 2027.
What is Candela Obscura?
A horror tabletop role-playing game from Darrington Press, Critical Role’s publishing company. Players investigate supernatural threats. The graphic novel brings that setting to the page with new characters.
Read / A new way into comics
Sonic. The Turtles.
And a superhero who controls insects.
IDW’s November 10 Comics Giveaway Day announcement includes Sonic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a Worm prequel. That last one deserves a closer look.
Taylor is a bullied teenager whose new ability lets her control insects. Having power doesn’t tell her who to trust or which side to choose. The story puts her in a world where the line between hero and villain keeps getting harder to draw.
What is Worm?
John McCrae’s superhero web serial ran from 2011–2013. The comic adaptation has McCrae consulting, with writer Meghan Fitzmartin, artist Javier Ortiz, colorist David Vaquero, and letterer Andriy Lukin. Its violence and darker themes distinguish it from the Sonic and TMNT offerings. The prequel comes before the ongoing comic.
