00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:09.789
This is the pull list, October 20th, 2026.
00:00:09.949 --> 00:00:10.910
This is Martin.
00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:11.949
Let's get to it.
00:00:12.269 --> 00:00:16.030
DC just brought the New Gods back to Earth, and that's where we start.
00:00:16.190 --> 00:00:21.710
The New Gods one-shot is 48 pages, it lands January 13th, and it's$5.99.
00:00:21.949 --> 00:00:25.950
Ram V and Alex Packnadell are writing it with art from Joan Urgell.
00:00:26.109 --> 00:00:32.030
The story centers on Scott Free and Highfather, two of the most important figures in Jack Kirby's fourth world.
00:00:32.350 --> 00:00:36.589
Do the math on that cover price, and it works out to about 12.5 cents a page.
00:00:36.829 --> 00:00:39.390
Keep that number in your head because it matters in a minute.
00:00:39.550 --> 00:00:48.189
If you're new to this corner of the DC universe, we have the New Gods Volume 1, The Falling Sky, and Volume 2, Edge of Darkness, in the shop right now.
00:00:48.350 --> 00:00:51.149
Read those and you'll be ready on January 13th.
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:55.630
Next up, Dynamite is making a play on value, and it's a loud one.
00:00:55.789 --> 00:00:59.230
They're rolling out 80 page giants at 10 bucks each.
00:00:59.390 --> 00:01:03.550
$10 for 80 pages is also 12.5 cents a page.
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:08.030
Two publishers, two very different formats, and the same price per page.
00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:09.390
That tells me something.
00:01:09.549 --> 00:01:13.070
Readers are watching what they get for their money, and publishers know it.
00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:19.390
When a standard monthly keeps climbing in price, a thick book at a flat 10 bucks starts to look like the better deal.
00:01:19.549 --> 00:01:23.390
That's my take, not a fact, but watch whether other publishers follow.
00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:25.790
Now for the horror and sci-fi crowd.
00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:32.590
The Terminator Valentine's Day special arrives in February, written by Dan Waters with art from Pasquale Quilano.
00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:35.070
Yes, a Terminator love story.
00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:38.909
It's a strange pairing on paper, and that is exactly why I'm curious.
00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:44.829
Dan Waters has a real feel for mood and dread, and Pasquale Quilano's art should give it some bite.
00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:48.750
If you like your romance with a body count, mark February on your calendar.
00:01:48.989 --> 00:01:51.710
Now, the big story outside the comic shop.
00:01:51.950 --> 00:01:53.790
Dork is headed to Sony.
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:56.989
That's a Hollywood deal, and the market is already reacting.
00:01:57.230 --> 00:02:00.030
Dork Issue 1 is now on its eighth printing.
00:02:00.269 --> 00:02:01.390
Eight printings.
00:02:01.549 --> 00:02:08.030
That's a book people want, and it's a reminder that a movie deal can move a back issue, but it also floods the market with copies.
00:02:08.269 --> 00:02:12.269
If you're chasing a first print, be patient and pay attention to what you're buying.
00:02:12.430 --> 00:02:13.789
Let's talk about the stores.
00:02:13.949 --> 00:02:15.550
What are people actually buying?
00:02:15.710 --> 00:02:18.110
The Midnight variants are leading the conversation.
00:02:18.349 --> 00:02:22.189
Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four hold the top three spots.
00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:25.949
Midnight number ones are the hot ticket right now, and it's easy to see why.
00:02:26.189 --> 00:02:30.270
They're striking, they're scarce, and collectors love a theme set.
00:02:30.430 --> 00:02:32.590
And over on the weekend chart, Venom No.
00:02:32.750 --> 00:02:34.990
1 led from Wednesday through the weekend.
00:02:35.150 --> 00:02:37.870
A number one on the stands still moves the needle.
00:02:38.030 --> 00:02:39.310
So here's the quick recap.
00:02:39.469 --> 00:02:42.909
New God's One Shot, January 13th,$5.99.
00:02:43.069 --> 00:02:45.870
Dynamite's 80-page Giants,$10 each.
00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:48.750
Terminator Valentine's Day Special in February.
00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:51.550
Dork heading to Sony with an eighth printing.
00:02:51.629 --> 00:02:52.509
And Midnight No.
00:02:54.509 --> 00:02:55.710
Now I want to hear from you.
00:02:55.870 --> 00:02:56.830
Which Midnight No.
00:02:56.990 --> 00:02:58.189
1 are you holding on to?
00:02:58.430 --> 00:03:01.229
Spider Man, X Men, or Fantastic Four?
00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:02.030
Let me know.
00:03:02.189 --> 00:03:03.550
This has been the pull list.
00:03:03.789 --> 00:03:04.509
I'm Martin.
00:03:04.669 --> 00:03:05.390
See you next time.
