10 Best TV Trailers From Comic-Con 2016

6. Legion Season 1

The most bats*it crazy trailer from Comic-Con? Probably. One of the best? Absolutely.

Coming from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, it's about as crazy as you might expect, and also marks the first collaboration between Marvel and FX. Centred around Dan Stevens' David Haller, the bulk of the trailer revolves around his session with a psychiatrist, which includes forays into some mind-bending visuals, trippy powers, a reference to him being a powerful mutant, and, erm, a Bollywood inspired dance number.

It's not clear what ties this will have to X-Men (in the comics, Haller is the son of Charles Xavier), and it's even less clear if what we're seeing is actually happening, or just taking place in his mind.

What is clear is that this looks different to every other comic book show around at the minute, and also very exciting.
