00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:09.949
This is the pull list, October 26th, 2026.
00:00:10.190 --> 00:00:11.070
This is Martin.
00:00:11.230 --> 00:00:12.190
Let's get to it.
00:00:12.429 --> 00:00:16.350
First, a history lesson on this day in comic book history.
00:00:16.750 --> 00:00:18.190
October 26th.
00:00:18.429 --> 00:00:21.949
In 2011, Marvel launched Wolverine and the X-Men No.
00:00:22.109 --> 00:00:28.510
1 from Jason Aaron and Chris Bacallo, the series where Wolverine runs the Gene Gray School for Higher Learning.
00:00:28.750 --> 00:00:31.550
In 2011, Vertigo put out Spaceman No.
00:00:31.710 --> 00:00:41.310
1 from Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Riso, a nine-issue story set after the collapse of civilization about a man NASA engineered for long-term spaceflight.
00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:54.109
And in 2016, DC released the Wonder Woman's 75th anniversary special number one, an anthology with a Jim Lee cover and a long list of writers and artists celebrating 75 years of Wonder Woman.
00:00:54.350 --> 00:00:58.670
First up, update on a story we covered earlier, Clayface.
00:00:58.910 --> 00:01:06.989
Last week we told you the movie took about$3.5 million in Thursday previews and was tracking for$20 to$25 million over the weekend.
00:01:07.149 --> 00:01:08.109
Here's what happened.
00:01:08.349 --> 00:01:13.870
According to Bleeding Cool on Sunday, Clayface won the weekend with$24.5 million.
00:01:14.430 --> 00:01:17.710
That's the low end of the forecast, but it's still number one.
00:01:17.950 --> 00:01:23.390
Worldwide, it opened to$43 million, which roughly covers its reported budget in one weekend.
00:01:23.629 --> 00:01:26.349
Audiences gave it an A- cinema score.
00:01:26.430 --> 00:01:30.989
That's the grade people hand out on their way out of the theater, and an A- is a good one.
00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:32.349
Now the competition.
00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:38.989
Nathan Fielder's You Can See Everything from a 24 took 19.5 million in its second weekend.
00:01:39.150 --> 00:01:44.750
That's up 25% from the weekend before, so about a quarter more money because it added theaters.
00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:47.230
It has 45 million domestic now.
00:01:47.390 --> 00:01:50.829
Bleeding Cool expects it to take the top spot this coming weekend.
00:01:51.070 --> 00:01:55.070
Street Fighter dropped 72% to 8.6 million.
00:01:55.230 --> 00:01:58.829
That means it made about 72% less than the weekend before.
00:01:59.070 --> 00:02:00.670
Here's what matters at the shop.
00:02:00.909 --> 00:02:05.870
A number one opening and a solid audience grade is what gets people looking at the Clayface books.
00:02:06.109 --> 00:02:09.389
Clayface, Celebrity Dirt, is the series to watch.
00:02:09.710 --> 00:02:10.430
Next up.
00:02:10.669 --> 00:02:15.550
James Gunn said something Sunday on Threads that explains how DC Studios is thinking.
00:02:15.789 --> 00:02:19.870
A fan argued that the DCU is built around telling stories first.
00:02:20.189 --> 00:02:21.150
Gunn

agreed.
00:02:21.310 --> 00:02:29.469
He said that approach lets DC do different styles and different points of view, including stories that put the villain up front, like the Penguin and Clayface.
00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:35.949
His words, I dislike the idea that individual stories aren't meaningful unless they lead to something else.
00:02:36.189 --> 00:02:44.349
He pointed to Star Wars as the model, a universe that has told stories across decades and across media without every one of them setting up the next.
00:02:44.509 --> 00:02:46.270
He didn't pretend there are no links.
00:02:46.430 --> 00:02:50.830
He named Superman and Man of Tomorrow as part of what he calls the Superman saga.
00:02:50.990 --> 00:02:55.710
But he said those connections don't mean the other stories only exist to set up something later.
00:02:55.870 --> 00:02:59.710
And he hopes people watch Clayface as a fun horror movie in its own right.
00:02:59.870 --> 00:03:08.430
Bleeding Cool's Ray Fluke put it up against Marvel, where he says keeping up can take homework, and he pointed to Lanterns as a series that worked on its own.
00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:12.030
This is smart messaging the same week Clayface opens.
00:03:12.270 --> 00:03:19.229
A movie that doesn't come with a reading list is an easier sell to the casual crowd, and the casual crowd is who fills the seats.
00:03:19.469 --> 00:03:24.189
Next up, update on a story we covered earlier: Avengers Doomsday.
00:03:24.349 --> 00:03:26.509
Last week it was the World Series preview.
00:03:26.669 --> 00:03:32.590
Now, Marvel has put out a new 31-second TV spot reported by Bleeding Cool on Saturday night.
00:03:32.750 --> 00:03:40.030
It mixes footage from the Cinemacon debut with new material, including Scott Lang and a debate among three Captain Americas.
00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:42.830
It also shows three teams standing together.
00:03:43.069 --> 00:03:51.150
Bleeding Cool says those teams are only assumed to be the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four, so that part is an assumption for now.
00:03:51.390 --> 00:03:54.669
The movie opens exclusively in theaters December 18th.
00:03:54.830 --> 00:04:00.349
Anthony and Joe Russo direct, Kevin Fige, Louis D Esposito, and Jonathan Schwartz produce.
00:04:00.509 --> 00:04:06.030
The ensemble includes Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Pedro Pascal.
00:04:06.270 --> 00:04:11.789
The pitch is heroes from three universes on a collision course with an existential threat.
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:16.589
That's a little under eight weeks out, and this is when the spots start landing back to back.
00:04:16.829 --> 00:04:21.149
Every new look sends people back to the Avengers books and the older team-up issues.
00:04:21.469 --> 00:04:22.750
JLA Avengers No.
00:04:22.909 --> 00:04:28.829
1, the Facsimile Edition, is the kind of book that gets picked up when a crossover movie is on everyone's mind.
00:04:29.149 --> 00:04:37.629
Next up, Daredevil Born Again Season 3 News, reported by Bleeding Cool on Friday from an entertainment weekly interview with Carrie-Ann Moss.
00:04:37.869 --> 00:04:42.349
Moss says her character, Jerry Hogarth, will not return for season three.
00:04:42.669 --> 00:04:46.269
Finn Jones is confirmed to come back as Danny Rand, Ironfist.
00:04:46.429 --> 00:04:48.109
That was revealed at New York Comic Con.
00:04:48.509 --> 00:04:52.189
Elodie Young returning as Electra is reported, not announced.
00:04:52.349 --> 00:04:55.949
Bleeding Cool points to onset photos of her with Charlie Cox.
00:04:56.189 --> 00:04:59.149
And season three is the final season of the show.
00:04:59.469 --> 00:05:08.269
Moss played Jerry, the lawyer who hires Jessica Jones in Jessica Jones, and she was a bridge character in Daredevil Season 2 and in The Defenders.
00:05:08.509 --> 00:05:12.429
She also said she and Kristen Ritter are developing a film called Claire.
00:05:12.669 --> 00:05:13.709
Her words about Ritter?
00:05:14.109 --> 00:05:16.589
Kristen Ritter and I are like besties.
00:05:16.829 --> 00:05:20.750
For collectors, the Netflix era characters are what's getting the attention here.
00:05:20.989 --> 00:05:28.269
Iron Fist and Electra are the names to watch, and the Frank Miller Daredevil run is the shelf that moves when this show is in the news.
00:05:28.509 --> 00:05:32.750
Next up, voice actor Eric Bowza has died at 46.
00:05:32.909 --> 00:05:36.429
His family announced it on Instagram, saying he passed away suddenly.
00:05:36.669 --> 00:05:38.829
Bleeding Cool reported it Sunday night.
00:05:38.989 --> 00:05:42.829
Bowza was born in Toronto on December 7, 1979.
00:05:43.069 --> 00:05:50.429
His breakthrough came in 2003 when he took over the role of Stimpy from Billy West on Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon.
00:05:50.589 --> 00:05:58.989
He voiced Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, and he won three Emmys for his work on Looney Tunes cartoons, Bugs Bunny Builders, and Teen Titans Go.
00:05:59.149 --> 00:06:07.469
Comic fans will know him from Invincible on Prime Video, where he voiced DA Sinclair and Magnetic, and from the animated film Batman Ninja.
00:06:07.629 --> 00:06:16.109
His other credits include DuckTales, Muppet Babies, Bob's Burgers, and Avatar Seven Havens, and he worked on the 2026 film Coyote vs.
00:06:16.269 --> 00:06:16.750
Acme.
00:06:17.069 --> 00:06:20.029
A lot of people grew up hearing him and never knew his name.
00:06:20.269 --> 00:06:23.869
We send our condolences to his family and everyone who worked with him.
00:06:24.189 --> 00:06:32.109
Next up, DC's January 2027 solicitations, reported by Bleeding Cool on Friday, and there's plenty here for collectors.
00:06:32.429 --> 00:06:33.869
Absolute Black Canary No.
00:06:34.029 --> 00:06:38.429
1 lands January 20th from Pornsac Peachit Shoot and Balen Ortega.
00:06:38.589 --> 00:06:41.629
It's$4.99 and the variant is$5.99.
00:06:41.709 --> 00:06:45.309
That's a dollar more, which is 20% more than the cover price.
00:06:45.549 -->
00:06:47.709
Green Lantern Doomed Cosmos No.
00:06:47.869 --> 00:06:51.309

00:06:51.469 --> 00:06:56.029
Also January 20th,$4.99, with a foil variant at$7.99.
00:06:56.189 --> 00:06:57.869
Superboy Prime Special No.
00:06:58.029 --> 00:07:00.349

00:07:00.669 --> 00:07:02.909
January 27th,$5.99.
00:07:03.069 --> 00:07:04.750
The foil is$8.99.
00:07:04.909 --> 00:07:08.750
That's$3 more, which is about 50% more than the cover price.
00:07:08.989 --> 00:07:15.069
The same day brings the Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special at$4.99 with a glow in the dark variant.
00:07:15.229 --> 00:07:16.429
Then the facsimiles.
00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:18.429
Tales of the Green Lantern Corps No.
00:07:18.589 --> 00:07:20.589
1 and Gotham City Sirens No.
00:07:20.669 --> 00:07:23.629
1 both come January 6th, and Watchmen No.
00:07:23.789 --> 00:07:25.629
4 comes January 27th.
00:07:25.789 --> 00:07:29.229
Each one is$3.99 with foil and sketch variants.
00:07:29.469 --> 00:07:30.989
Absolute Black Canary No.
00:07:31.149 --> 00:07:32.750
1 is the book I'd get ordered.
00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:39.149
Every first issue in that line gets noticed, and the facsimiles are an easy way to get a keybook on the shelf for under$4.
00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:50.750
Next up, Rebellion's January 2027 solicitations, reported by Bleeding Cool on Saturday, mark 50 years of 200 AD, and the books are worth knowing about.
00:07:50.989 --> 00:08:01.389
The 200AD 50th Anniversary Special is 1099 with a Brian Boland cover and stories from John Wagner, Robbie Morrison, Ian Edgington, and Pat Mills.
00:08:01.549 --> 00:08:06.349
Art comes from Dan Cornwell, Simon Fraser, Mike Perkins, and Ian Culbert.
00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:12.189
Judge Dread magazine number 500 is 100 pages at 1499 with a Stuart K.
00:08:12.349 --> 00:08:13.149
Moore cover.
00:08:13.309 --> 00:08:18.349
That works out to about 15 cents a page, 1499 divided by 100 pages.
00:08:18.589 --> 00:08:27.789
The big story is a double-length Dark Judges tale, and it features Scott Ian and Charlie Benante of Anthrax, who created a new character called Judge Anthrax.
00:08:28.109 --> 00:08:43.549
There's also 2000 AD of Visual History, 1977 to 2027, a hardcover by Scott Montgomery at$79.99, due January 27th, with art from Brian Boland, Dave Gibbons, Kevin O'Neill, and Carlos Esquera.
00:08:43.789 --> 00:08:49.629
And Judge Dread Compact Crimes Volume 1 is$1299, also January 27th.
00:08:49.870 --> 00:08:54.829
Dread has a deep back catalog, and an anniversary year is when readers go looking for it.
00:08:55.069 --> 00:08:56.829
Last up, the sales chart.
00:08:56.990 --> 00:09:01.949
Bleeding Cool posted the top 400 for October 13th through 19th on Sunday.
00:09:02.110 --> 00:09:04.429
Before the list, here's how to read the numbers.
00:09:04.669 --> 00:09:07.230
They're an index, not a count of copies.
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:12.509
The top selling book that week is set to 100, and every other book is scored against it.
00:09:12.750 --> 00:09:17.709
Take that book's sales, divide by the top seller's sales, and multiply by 100.
00:09:17.949 --> 00:09:28.029
So if the number 2 book shows 93.67, it sold about 93.7% as many copies as number one, which means the two were nearly tied.
00:09:28.269 --> 00:09:38.909
The data is store sales, not publisher orders, from more than 600 comic shops, collected by Prana Direct Market Solutions through the Managed Comics and Comic Shop Assistance Systems.
00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:41.389
Number one is Midnight Spider-Man No.
00:09:41.549 --> 00:09:43.309
1 from Marvel at 100.
00:09:43.709 --> 00:09:45.870
Number two, Midnight X-Men No.
00:09:46.029 --> 00:09:49.789
1 at 93.67, the near tie we just talked about.
00:09:50.029 --> 00:09:57.709
Number three is Amazing Spider-Man number 1001 at 89.15, about 89% of the top seller.
00:09:57.949 --> 00:10:01.629
Number four is Venom number one at 84.91.
00:10:01.870 --> 00:10:04.269
Number five is Doom All On One No.
00:10:04.829 --> 00:10:09.069
At 73.24, about 73% of the top seller.
00:10:09.309 --> 00:10:12.350
Midnight Fantastic Four number one lands at number nine.
00:10:12.589 --> 00:10:19.069
DC puts Teen Titans number two, Doom Patrol number two, and Legion of Superheroes number two in the top 10.
00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:25.389
Marvel's Midnight Launch is still setting the pace, and the first week and second week are the same story.
00:10:25.629 --> 00:10:26.990
Here's today's question.
00:10:27.230 --> 00:10:32.110
Clayface opened at number one with a$24.5 million weekend.
00:10:32.350 --> 00:10:36.750
Does an opening like that move books for you, or do you wait for the next big movie?
00:10:36.909 --> 00:10:37.949
That's it for today.
00:10:38.029 --> 00:10:39.549
We'll see you back here tomorrow.
