00:00:06.190 --> 00:00:09.230
This day in comic book history, October 21st.
00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:18.269
In 1934, the French magazine Le Journal de Mickey published its first issue, a Disney comics magazine that had put out a test issue that June.
00:00:18.429 --> 00:00:24.109
And in 2024, Italian comic artist Massimiliano Frisotto died at age 57.
00:00:24.350 --> 00:00:28.429
He drew Keepers of the Maser and made comics for Heavy Metal magazine.
00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:32.589
This is the pull list, October 21st, 2026.
00:00:32.829 --> 00:00:33.789
This is Martin.
00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:34.909
Let's get to it.
00:00:35.149 --> 00:00:41.469
First up, DC is pulling the absolute deluxe hardcovers off the retailer order sheets, at least for now.
00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:53.870
Bleeding Cool reported Tuesday that DC canceled retailer orders for the Absolute Batman Deluxe, the Absolute Batman Covers Deluxe, the Absolute Wonder Woman Deluxe, and the Absolute Superman Deluxe hardcovers.
00:00:54.030 --> 00:01:00.270
The two Batman books were scheduled for April 27, 2027 and were withdrawn from lunar distribution.
00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:06.590
Amazon now shows August 24, 2027 for the Batman books, but says they can't be ordered right now.
00:01:06.829 --> 00:01:10.829
Wonder Woman moves from May 25th to August 31st on Amazon.
00:01:10.989 --> 00:01:14.349
The Superman listing on Amazon has been deleted entirely.
00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:16.109
Here is what is verified.
00:01:16.430 --> 00:01:21.150
DC has not publicly explained any of this and has not confirmed a new schedule.
00:01:21.310 --> 00:01:29.629
The street reports some major retailers, Target included, are still taking pre-orders at the later dates, and outcomes differ depending on where you ordered.
00:01:29.790 --> 00:01:35.549
So if you pre-ordered an absolute deluxe, contact your shop or retailer and ask what happened to your order.
00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:39.549
Anything beyond that is speculation, and I'm not going to speculate.
00:01:39.870 --> 00:01:41.070
Next, Dork.
00:01:41.549 --> 00:01:49.870
Deadline reported that Sony Pictures has landed live-action film rights to Brett Bean's dork from Image Comics, with Bean attached to adapt the screenplay.
00:01:50.030 --> 00:01:51.629
The market reacted fast.
00:01:51.870 --> 00:01:54.750
Bleeding Cool tracked the eBay sales on Tuesday.
00:01:54.989 --> 00:02:01.710
ACGC 9.8 blank cover first print with an original Brett Bean sketch sold for$1,320.
00:02:02.349 --> 00:02:05.629
Signed and sketched, slabbed 9.8,$700.
00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:07.629
Signed and slabbed,$500.
00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:10.349
Unsigned 9.8,$350.
00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:12.590
A raw first print in decent shape?
00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:13.549
$300.
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:15.069
Now the later printings.
00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:17.469
A signed second print went for$25.
00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:20.110
A raw third print under$4.
00:02:20.909 --> 00:02:28.110
My take, and that's

my take, not a fact, film news spikes are real, but they are also when prices are least stable.
00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:31.229
Know what you're paying for before you chase a first print.
00:02:31.469 --> 00:02:43.390
Third, Marvel is republishing the 2015 Secret Wars by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribbick as facsimile editions, starting January 2027, with monthly editions running through Secret Wars No.
00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:43.870
9.
00:02:44.110 --> 00:02:45.069
Secret Wars No.
00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:53.310
1 facsimile is 56 pages, 699, on sale January 20th, and it reprints the original in full, ads included.
00:02:53.629 --> 00:02:56.590
Marvel is also putting out an amazing Spider-Man No.
00:02:56.750 --> 00:03:00.189
10 facsimile, the first appearance of Spiderpunk.
00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:04.590
32 pages, 499, on sale January 13th.
00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:05.550
Run the math.
00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:10.270
6.99 over 56 pages is about 12.5 cents a page.
00:03:10.509 --> 00:03:15.069
4.99 over 32 pages is about 15.5 cents a page.
00:03:15.229 --> 00:03:16.669
That's the verified math.
00:03:16.909 --> 00:03:17.629
My opinion?
00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:21.310
The Secret Wars facsimile is the better value per page.
00:03:21.550 --> 00:03:29.710
Fourth, DC announced Green Lantern Doomed Cosmos, a six-issue Else Worlds miniseries by Dan Waters and Kyle Hotz.
00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:35.310
Issue 1 lands January 20th, 2027, 32 pages, 499.
00:03:35.550 --> 00:03:36.270
The premise?
00:03:36.509 --> 00:03:39.310
The Empire of Humanity has conquered the Cosmos.
00:03:39.469 --> 00:03:47.710
The Green Lantern Corps is the only opposition, and Hal Jordan, betrayed by his battle brother Oliver Queen, is the Corps's only human warrior.
00:03:47.949 --> 00:03:51.629
Bleeding Cool's headline says Humanity are the bad guys.
00:03:51.789 --> 00:03:52.590
Fair enough.
00:03:52.830 --> 00:03:53.949
Also, a first.
00:03:54.509 --> 00:04:04.669
Star Wars Marvel, Hope Assembles, is a six-issue series by Kevin Smith and David Marquez, billed as the first official crossover between the Marvel Universe and Star Wars.
00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:08.189
Issue 1 launches January 13th, 2027.
00:04:08.349 --> 00:04:16.269
It places the events of A New Hope on Marvel Earth 616 after a reality-shattering spell, and it stays in continuity.
00:04:16.430 --> 00:04:23.309
The preview Bleeding Cool ran Tuesday shows Marvel's heroes know Star Wars and are bemused to see it invade their world.
00:04:23.469 --> 00:04:27.709
Captain America, frozen in ice for 70 years, has never seen it.
00:04:27.949 --> 00:04:28.509
One more.
00:04:28.750 --> 00:04:40.750
The latest Bleeding Cool Wednesday to weekend chart, dated October 17th, has Venom number one on top, with Amazing Spider-Man number 1001 right behind it at 97% of the top seller.
00:04:40.909 --> 00:04:44.989
Marvel took five of the top 10, DC4, image one.
00:04:45.309 --> 00:04:46.509
That's the pull list.
00:04:46.669 --> 00:04:47.869
Here's my question for you.
00:04:48.109 --> 00:04:56.269
If DC's absolute deluxe hardcovers slip to next August, do you wait for them or do you grab the single issues and trades that are on the shelf right now?
00:04:56.509 --> 00:04:56.989
Let me know.
