“Supermutant Magic Academy,” the upcoming series from Cartoon Network Studios based on the Eisner Award-winning 2015 comic by artist and writer Jillian Tamaki, debuted first footage at a panel discussing the making of the show. The series is set to air on Adult Swim.  

A sizzle reel exclusive to a captive Annecy audience, though released at the end of the session, proved a charming introduction to the show’s alchemical blend of fantasy and more mundane teen comedy.
