00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:09.710
This is the pull list, October 23rd, 2026.
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:10.830
This is Martin.
00:00:10.910 --> 00:00:11.870
Let's get to it.
00:00:12.109 --> 00:00:16.190
First, a history lesson on this day in comic book history.
00:00:16.429 --> 00:00:17.789
October 23rd.
00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:20.510
In 1974, the Demon No.
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:29.310
16, cover-dated January 1974, wrapped up Jack Kirby's 16-issue run on Etrigon, the character he created in The Demon No.
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.109
In 2002, Batman No.
00:00:32.269 --> 00:00:39.390
608 kicked off Hush, the 12-issue story by Jeff Loeb and Jim Lee that ran through issue 619.
00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:42.270
And in 2013, Sex Criminals No.
00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:50.189
2 kept rolling for the new image series by Matt Fraction and Chip Zadarski, which won the Eisner Award for Best New Series the following year.
00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:56.590
First up, Avengers Doomsday gets a new preview tonight, and Marvel picked the World Series to show it.
00:00:56.829 --> 00:00:58.829
MLB confirmed it with a short video.
00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:01.710
The line reads, quote, something's coming.
00:01:01.870 --> 00:01:08.989
Tune in to World Series Game 1 for an exclusive preview of Avengers Doomsday in theaters everywhere, December 18th.
00:01:09.149 --> 00:01:09.709
End quote.
00:01:09.950 --> 00:01:12.510
Game 1 starts tonight at 8 on Fox.
00:01:12.829 --> 00:01:16.269
Comicbook.com says, don't expect the footage in the first inning.
00:01:16.430 --> 00:01:22.750
The opening game of a World Series comes with a lot of ceremony, so the preview could show up an hour or two into the broadcast.
00:01:22.989 --> 00:01:27.790
Here's what matters Marvel isn't aiming this at the people who already know every frame.
00:01:27.950 --> 00:01:30.430
A World Series audience is the casual crowd.
00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:32.510
That's the group that knows Robert Downey Jr.
00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:35.150
is back as Doctor Doom, and not much else.
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:40.989
Fans online are guessing we get a first look at Nightcrawler and Beast, and plenty of people just want more Doom.
00:01:41.150 --> 00:01:43.070
Those are guesses, not announcements.
00:01:43.310 --> 00:01:46.909
What I'm sure of is that the marketing push for this movie starts now.
00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:52.109
When a trailer lands in front of a mainstream audience, the back issue market feels it the following week.
00:01:52.430 --> 00:01:56.670
Doom Keys, Avengers Keys, and X-Men Keys are the ones to watch.
00:01:56.989 --> 00:02:04.430
Next up, Clayface opens in theaters today, and Thursday night previews came in at about$3.5 million, according to Deadline.
00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:11.710
Previews are the shows that run Thursday evening, before the official opening day, so that's what the movie made before Friday even started.
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:15.870
Deadline says weekend forecasts run between$20 and$25 million.
00:02:16.349 --> 00:02:27.550
If it lands there, Clayface takes the number one spot, and it gives the newly combined Paramount and Warner Brothers a second straight number one opener, after last weekend's Street Fighter, which made$31 million.
00:02:27.789 --> 00:02:35.789
Deadline describes it as Peter Saffron and James Gunn's entry into lower budget genre movies, and it's a body horror story with no Batman in it.
00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:39.949
Matt Hagen is a Gotham actor whose face gets sliced up by gangsters.
00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:40.909
He turns to Dr.
00:02:40.990 --> 00:02:47.310
Caitlin Korr, played by Naomi Aki, for a procedure that uses living clay, and the clay changes him.
00:02:47.550 --> 00:02:48.750
The reviews are helping.
00:02:48.909 --> 00:02:53.949
Comicbook.com reports the Rotten Tomatoes score sits between 73 and 76%.
00:02:54.590 --> 00:03:00.030
That number is the share of critics who gave the film a positive review, so roughly three out of every four.
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:03.229
Joker in 2019 finished at 68%.
00:03:03.789 --> 00:03:06.349
Clayface is 5-8 points ahead of it.
00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:14.669
DC Studios has had a mixed year, with Supergirl falling short and the Lantern series on HBO becoming a breakout hit, according to Comic Book.
00:03:14.909 --> 00:03:18.030
This movie gives them a second win to stand next to lanterns.
00:03:18.189 --> 00:03:22.430
Strong weekends move books, and the Clayface shelf is where I'd watch on Monday.
00:03:22.669 --> 00:03:26.349
Next up! Marvel Television found its writers for Zodiac.
00:03:26.509 --> 00:03:33.150
Deadline reports, and Bleeding Cool relate it, that Amit Cohen and Ron Lesham are writing the live-action spy thriller.
00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:38.110
Marvel announced Zodiac at its New York Comic-Con panel with Brad Winderbaum on stage.
00:03:38.270 --> 00:03:40.590
It's headed to Disney Plus in 2028.
00:03:40.750 --> 00:03:44.909
Production starts this spring in London, and casting is expected to begin soon.
00:03:45.150 --> 00:03:50.830
Deadline's description of the story is a pair of spies chasing targets with special abilities.
00:03:51.069 --> 00:04:02.270
Lesham created the original Israeli version of Euphoria, the show HBO and Sam Levinson turned into the Zendaya series, and he and Cohen have made Trust No One, Bad Boy, and Traitor together.
00:04:02.509 --> 00:04:06.669
That's a spy writing resume, and it tells you exactly what Marvel wants here.
00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:08.349
This isn't a team-up show.
00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:11.870
It's a thriller where powers are the problem the spies have to solve.
00:04:12.110 --> 00:04:18.430
At that same panel, Marvel confirmed Daredevil Born Again ends with season three, and the room booed.
00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:23.229
Zodiac is the next live-action Marvel series announced, and it's two years out.
00:04:23.469 --> 00:04:27.789
Next up, Indy Navarette gave us the first sample of Rogue's accent.
00:04:28.029 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:36.829
She was at a Toronto International Film Festival event when a reporter asked for a demo, and she picked the one word every rogue fan expects: Sugar.
00:04:37.069 --> 00:04:39.149
Said the way Rogue says it, sugar.
00:04:39.549 --> 00:04:44.349
Navarrett is in Jake Schreier's X-Men movie, which is set for May 5th, 2028.
00:04:44.509 --> 00:05:02.989
The cast comicbook.com list so far is Kit Connor as Cyclops, Sadie Sink as Gene Gray, Maya Boyd as Storm, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Christopher Abbott as Professor Xavier, Asa German as Angel, and Adam Driver as Nathaniel Milbury, the evil geneticist Mr.
00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:03.789
Sinister.
00:05:03.949 --> 00:05:08.029
Reports say Beast and Iceman are cast too, but no names are official.
00:05:08.189 --> 00:05:09.069
Here's the take.
00:05:09.309 --> 00:05:15.949
The Southern accent is the part that has to land, because it's how Rogue reads on the page and in X-Men the Animated series.
00:05:16.109 --> 00:05:22.349
Lenore Zan voiced her there and in X-Men 97, and that's the voice every fan carries in their head.
00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:28.029
One word isn't a performance, but she went straight to the accent, and that's the right first move.
00:05:28.189 --> 00:05:33.229
Rogue comics and early X-Men keys are the ones to have on the shelf before the trailer lands.
00:05:33.469 --> 00:05:43.069
Next up, DC is celebrating 50 years of Black Lightning with a 48-page one-shot, DC Power Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special No.
00:05:43.229 --> 00:05:43.549
1.
00:05:43.709 --> 00:05:47.389
It's on sale Wednesday, January 27, 2027.
00:05:47.549 --> 00:05:59.389
The main story is co-written by Jenny Isabella, who created the character with artist Trevor Von Eden in 1977, and Brandon Thomas, who wrote the six-issue all-in miniseries with Fico Ossio.
00:05:59.549 --> 00:06:01.389
Ossio draws the main story.
00:06:01.549 --> 00:06:06.989
The extra stories come from Danny Lore, Greg Anderson Elize, Al Letson, Karen S.
00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:09.869
Darbo, Daryl Banks, and Sadat Osgin.
00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:17.869
In DC's setup, Black Lightning is trusted with protecting Metropolis while Superman is away, and an old enemy plots his death.
00:06:18.029 --> 00:06:24.829
The book brings in Jefferson Pierce's ex-wife Lynn Stewart, The Outsiders, his daughters Anisa and Jennifer, Mr.
00:06:24.989 --> 00:06:26.349
Terrific, and Steele.
00:06:26.589 --> 00:06:33.549
It also ties into the vision Black Lightning had in DC KO, moving Jefferson toward a mentor role for a young hero.
00:06:33.789 --> 00:06:34.509
The covers.
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:45.229
The main cover is by Edwin Galman and Andrew Dalhouse, with variants by Fico Osio and Tamra Bon Villen, co-creator Trevor Von Eden with Chris Sotomayor and Cully Hamner.
00:06:45.389 --> 00:06:48.109
Isabella called Thomas her chosen successor.
00:06:48.349 --> 00:06:55.389
Thomas said the theme is love for his family, his history, and his place in the DC
universe for 50 years.
00:06:55.549 --> 00:07:00.269
A co-creator writing the anniversary story is what you want from a milestone book.
00:07:00.349 --> 00:07:03.149
And the Von Eden variant is the cover to chase.
00:07:03.309 --> 00:07:11.949
Next up, Mike Mignola is back with Chris Roberson and Mike Norton for BPRD, Declassified from Dark Horse, a five-issue series.
00:07:12.189 --> 00:07:15.389
Number one lands February 17th, 2027.
00:07:15.629 --> 00:07:20.269
Mignola and Roberson write, Norton draws, and Dave Stewart does the colors.
00:07:20.509 --> 00:07:28.349
The story pulls two agents out of the background, Susan Xiang and Victor Koesler, and sends them to Honolulu on a missing person case.
00:07:28.509 --> 00:07:37.549
Henry Rauch vanished while working on a classified government project overseas, and the BPRD gets the call because the circumstances are supernatural.
00:07:37.789 --> 00:07:41.389
The agents find out quickly that this is bigger than one disappearance.
00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:51.389
Xiang was last seen in 2025's The Shadow of the Golden Crane by Roberson and Michael Avon Oming, where she looked into her family's ties to the Golden Crane Society.
00:07:51.629 --> 00:08:03.789
Roberson says the series pulls back the curtain on what he calls an occult Cold War that's been running in the background of recent Hellboy and BPRD stories, and shows that the agents aren't the only players on the board.
00:08:04.029 --> 00:08:11.229
Norton says a Roberson story always means drawing something he's never drawn before, and that this one does not disappoint.
00:08:11.469 --> 00:08:17.869
Covers come from Norton, Gabriel Hardman, Christopher Mitten, Craig Rousseau, Michael Avon Oeming, and more.
00:08:18.029 --> 00:08:24.429
A mignola name on the credits and a self-contained five-issue run make this an easy jump on for Hellboy readers.
00:08:24.669 --> 00:08:26.589
Next up, a collector story.
00:08:26.829 --> 00:08:34.190
Chankata number one from Daniel Warren Johnson at Image reportedly cleared 250,000 copies at FOC.
00:08:34.429 --> 00:08:39.389
FOC means final order cutoff, the last day stores can order a book before it prints.
00:08:39.629 --> 00:08:43.470
Bleeding Cool's Rich Johnston reports it, citing people inside Image.
00:08:43.629 --> 00:08:45.629
The number that matters is the split.
00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:49.949
About 60,000 of those copies came from retailer exclusive variants.
00:08:50.189 --> 00:08:55.389
60,000 out of 250,000 is 24%, a little under a quarter.
00:08:55.549 --> 00:09:03.709
Take that out, and the regular orders still land just shy of 200,000, because 250 minus 60 is 190,000.
00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:06.429
So this is not a book propped up by variants.
00:09:06.589 --> 00:09:12.750
There are more than 100 retailer exclusive covers, and Bleeding Cool earlier counted 116.
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:20.350
Spread 60,000 copies evenly across 116 covers, and you get about 517 copies per cover.
00:09:20.509 --> 00:09:24.029
That's the math behind why the exclusives are where collectors chase.
00:09:24.269 --> 00:09:32.509
Image set the minimum order for an exclusive at 500 copies, while Marvel and DC typically ask for 1,000, 2,000, or 3,000.
00:09:32.750 --> 00:09:35.309
A lower minimum means more stores took part.
00:09:35.470 --> 00:09:40.110
And Bleeding Cool says there was no bundle incentive like the ones DC has been using lately.
00:09:40.269 --> 00:09:46.750
It's$3.99 for the first issue, 40 pages of story with no ads, on sale Wednesday, November 18th.
00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:49.389
Issue 2 follows December 23rd.
00:09:49.629 --> 00:09:55.470
Next up, Skybound and Act 4 announced Bissette and Totalbin's Swamp Thing Artists Edition.
00:09:55.629 --> 00:10:05.870
It's 12 by 17 inches and it collects more than 170 pieces of original art by Stephen Bissett and John Totalbin from Saga of the Swamp Thing, the run Alan Moore wrote.
00:10:06.029 --> 00:10:10.669
Bissette and Totalbin joined with issue 16, and more came aboard with issue 20.
00:10:10.829 --> 00:10:20.589
The book includes the storylines Anatomy Lesson and American Gothic, plus the entire Jack in the Green story, the last collaborative work between Totalbin and Bissett at DC.
00:10:20.829 --> 00:10:28.189
The pages are scanned in color, so you can see ink gradients, blue pencil, and corrections, and they're printed at the same size they were drawn.
00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:35.949
It's priced at$150, and it hits comic shops July 7, 2027, with the bookmarese following August 3rd.
00:10:36.110 --> 00:10:45.709
Skybound and Act 4 have already done Paul Smith's Doctor Strange, George Perez's New Teen Titans, and Jose Luis Garcia Lopez's DC Classics in this line.
00:10:45.949 --> 00:10:49.870
Bissette said he never thought he'd live long enough to see this volume exist.
00:10:50.189 --> 00:10:56.669
Totlebin said it's almost like having a collection of the original pages, and you don't need to be a billionaire to afford it.
00:10:56.909 --> 00:11:05.949
$150 for the look and feel of original pages is the entry price for this kind of collecting, and Swamp Thing is one of the best subjects this line has landed.
00:11:06.189 --> 00:11:13.549
Last up, Dynamite is launching Thundercats 85 number one in January, written and drawn by George Comba Dice.
00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:19.470
It's a return to the original 1985 animated series, and the first issue is Mumra vs.
00:11:19.629 --> 00:11:20.429
the Thundercats.
00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:24.669
Komba Dice has already worked on Dynamite's Gargoyles and Silverhawks.
00:11:24.829 --> 00:11:30.269
The 32-page issue is$4.99 and goes on sale January 6th, 2027.
00:11:30.509 --> 00:11:39.309
$4.99 for 32 pages works out to about 16 cents a page, because 4.99 divided by 32 is 15.6 cents.
00:11:39.549 --> 00:11:44.429
Covers are by Comba Dice, Drew Moss, Craig Rousseau, and Federico Melee.
00:11:44.589 --> 00:11:54.589
The original cartoon ran 130 episodes and spawned a huge line of action figures and vehicles, and Marvel's Star Comics imprint ran a Thundercats series in the 80s.
00:11:54.829 --> 00:12:03.549
The story follows the cats of Thundera who flee their destroyed homeworld for third earth, with Lion O arriving as an adult who still has a lot to learn.
00:12:03.789 --> 00:12:10.110
If you grew up on that cartoon, this is Dynamite going straight at you with the same cast and the same villain.
00:12:10.350 --> 00:12:11.629
Here's today's question.
00:12:11.870 --> 00:12:15.069
Chainkata has more than a hundred exclusive covers.
00:12:15.230 --> 00:12:19.629
Are you chasing one of the rare exclusives, or are you reading it on the regular cover?
00:12:19.870 --> 00:12:20.509
Let me know.
00:12:20.669 --> 00:12:21.629
That's it for today.
00:12:21.789 --> 00:12:23.149
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
