Fast-forward 17 years and their father is dead. Some of the children appear to be dancing, perhaps celebrating the death of their dad, but others look upset. While each family member has superpowers, these are only glimpsed in the trailer. Fans who couldn't make it to Comic-Con can see photos of the show that Netflix posted online late Friday. > The show, which is based on popular comics and graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics, will focus on the family as they attempt to solve the mystery of their father's death while dealing with each other's difficult personalities.
