"I might have mentioned that I think it’s going to be a Very Good Time working with these good sorts again plus the excellent @prattprattpratt and miraculous @brycedhoward on a new one that may or may not involve dinosaurs," Neill wrote.
He added that he recently found the boots he's seen wearing in the photo, joking that he may auction them off. Co-star Laura Dern commented that she'd bid on the boots.

Announced in August by IDW, the synopsis of the first issue is as follows:

Brandon Routh Says Goodbye to Legends of Tomorrow
Brandon Routh posted a goodbye message to Legends of Tomorrow on his Instagram page on the actor's final day of filming.
It was announced in August that Routh and co-star Courtney Ford will be leaving the show and that they would film their last episode in October. It seems that day has come; Routh is bittersweet as he posts pictures of himself in costume, a room of costumes, a cake and some fan art.
Hear Routh talk about his return as Superman for the Arrowverse TV franchise.
"My final day of filming with my #LegendsFamily. I love you all & appreciate the 5 seasons we’ve spent together," Routh began. "It hasn’t always been easy, but I think that’s what makes it harder to leave—getting through the growing pains of the first few seasons has bonded us. And made the last three seasons a blast! I’ve never been at a job this long, so this is new for me. I think I will miss you all and the fun we’ve had making this silly show on the #Waverider—as much as I’ll miss bringing #RayPalmer to life. Love & blessings on a great finish to the season."

Pokemon Developers Don’t Have Plans For More Let’s Go Games
During a press tour ahead of the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield Game Freak producer and director Junichi Masuda revealed that there may not be more Pokemon Let’s Go games in the series, but that might be because the studio prefers to work on new projects and games.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Masuda was asked that despite criticism regarding its easy difficulty reception to Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee was high. Despite this, Masuda revealed that there are currently no plans for more games in that particular Pokemon series.
Devolver’s Carrion Gets Free Demo
Carrion, the "reverse horror" game from Phobia Studios and Devolver Digital, has just released a free demo.
Revealed by Devolver as "a Halloween treat," the demo is available on Steam (Windows only, sorry Mac/Linux users) and gives you a good taste of what it's like to play as Carrion's horrible tentacle monster. It's not as large as the demo we played at GamesCom, but it's an excellent introduction to this violent take on the MetroidVania.
How The Last of Us 2’s Delay Could Affect Ghost of Tsushima
The Last of Us Part 2 has been delayed from February to May 2020, and while that means a few more months for all of us to wait until we can play Ellie and Joel’s new story, it does raise an interesting question — what does this mean, if anything, for the release of Sony’s other announced major first-party PS4 exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima?
Ghost of Tsushima has never gotten a firm release date, but it has been reconfirmed that it is a PS4 release (PS5 support has never been mentioned). Given the recent release date announcement (and subsequent re-announcement) for The Last of Us Part 2, it seems as if Sony planned to release it first and then follow up with Ghost of Tsushima later on (unless they were going to surprise us all in the next few months). But with The Last of Us now coming out in May and the PS5 set to come in the holiday season, that puts Sucker Punch’s new, mysterious game into an interesting position. Here are a few of our guesses for what could happen:

The Top 25 Games That Still Deserve A Sequel
Some of gaming's most iconic franchises really hit their stride with a sequel. Games like Halo 2, Portal 2, Uncharted II, Assassin’s Creed II, and Mass Effect 2 (just to name a few) that refined the mechanics and offered bigger, more ambitious experiences than their predecessors. But, so many games never got that opportunity to shine again, or did but still deserve another round. These games are gone, but not forgotten — here are the top 25 games that should have received a sequel but never did.

25. The Legend of Dragoon (2000)
Released in the same year as Final Fantasy IX, Vagrant Story, and Chrono Cross (and just four months before the launch of the PlayStation 2 in North America), The Legend of Dragoon is often overlooked when we discuss the “definitive” JRPGs of that era. However, this cult classic remains popular amongst fans for its unique take on the traditional turn-based battle system with the addition of, well…“Additions.”
