“It wont be the war to end all wars, it will be the war to end everything,” says a demon portraying David Tennant of the coming Armageddon in the first official trailer for Good Omens that was unveiled at New York Comic Con today. “Welcome to the end times,” adds the angel playing Michael Sheen.

With a Queen soundtrack, the first look at the upcoming Amazon limited series based on the satirical 1990 end-of-the-world novel penned by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchettwas dropped near the end of the panel for the Sheen and the Tennant led at the theater at Madison Square Garden this morning (see the trailer above.)

“It is like a dream come true for me, “ long time fan Sheen told the audience of being in the Gaiman showrun series. “I just have to put up with these terrible actors,” he quipped.

“I did this for money, Amazon paid me so much money I said sure,” responded Jon Hamm, who plays the angel Gabriel. Adding deadpanned Doctor Who jokes at ex-Time Lord Tennants expense and the crowds delight, Hamm also admitted that he is a long time fan of Good Omens and Gaimans work. “My favorite part of Good Omens was the paycheck,” Hamm said later in the shindig to more cheers “Amazon are rich!,” he proclaimed as well as noting how much “fun” he had making Good Omens.

Before the panel, the early morning crown were revved up by a sing-a-long of tunes by Queen, who are a constant presence in novel. An issue that Goldberg asked Gaiman to explain and he did by telling the story of how it seemed to him and Pratchett that every car in the UK seemed to eventually included a copy of a Queens Greatest Hits cassette.
