Marvel debuted the first episode of “VisionQuest” with a surprise screening to close out its New York Comic Con panel Thursday.
Early reactions to the Disney+ show, which is set to premiere Oct. 14, shared on social media were largely positive, and the perspectives ranged from con-goers who just saw the premiere episode to journalists who offered up their first brief reviews of the season when Marvel’s embargo lifted simultaneously with the panel’s conclusion at 5:45 pm ET.
