Hey there, true believers.
I'm Tucker Markus, and you are watching a very special episode
of Marvel's Pull List.
And it's not just special because I'm flying solo here.
It's special because we're talking
about brand new Marvel mags coming
your way in October 2020.
We have new series, we have new story arcs,
we have teases for the events that will round out the year.
Now first, we have to start with the biggest
X-Men story of the year.
It's X of Swords.
X of Swords starts in September, but October
is the month where this mutant madness
really starts to ramp up.
Now there are so many X of Swords crossover stories
coming in October, but the one we're focusing on here
is X of Swords, Stasis #1.
It's written by Tini Howard and Jonathan Hickman
with art by Pepe Larraz and Mahmud Asrar.
And here's a look at the glorious cover
to X of Swords, Stasis #1 by Pepe Larraz,
and it features the sword bearers of Arakko.
These menaces, including a mysterious leader,
will confront the X-Men in a war for the very future of Krakoa.
And you can keep up with all the developments in X of Swords
throughout October 2020.
2020 also marks a major milestone for Marvel's
favorite barbarian.
It's the 50th anniversary of Conan the Barbarian.
That's right.
You can celebrate the Sumerian with our next book
we're talking about.
It's The Official Handbook of the Conan
Universe, Anniversary Edition.
It's written by Alan Zelenetz with art
by a host of brilliant artists and a cover by Michael Kaluta.
This 1986 reprinted book is a comprehensive guide,
and it's great for all Conan fans,
whether you've been reading Conan for half
a year or half a century.
And you can pick up that handbook
while you're on your way to grab our next book,
Conan the Barbarian, #15.
This issue is written by Jim Zub with art
by Roge Antonio, and a beautiful cover by EM Gist.
Conan's fate is altered by a sudden murder
in the pits of the crucible, but as all signs point to Conan's
guilt, has he fallen victim to a cruel betrayal
or a demonic possession clouding his actions?
Continue Conan;s harrowing journey through
the crucible in October 2020.
Now that's what we're talking about in the Conan corner
of the universe, but, hey, since we're talking about October,
let's do a little bit of moon howling
with Werewolf by Night #1.
It's written by Taboo and Benjamin Jackendoff with art
by Scot Eaton and a cover by Mike McKone.
A new werewolf by night is prowling the southwest.
A young man, a family curse, and an unholy experiment
prove a dangerous combination for a small town in Arizona.
Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas and writer Benjamin Jackendoff
team up to tell an epic tale of the incredible transformation
that is not to be missed.
Hey, speaking of new series, Marvel's favorite teenage Super
Heroes are coming together once more in Champions, #1.
It's written by the incredible Eve L. Ewing with art
by Simone Di Meo and a cover by Toni Infante.
In the aftermath of Outlawed #1, also by Eve L. Ewing,
our favorite heroes are turned into vigilantes overnight.
But Ms. Marvel, Nova, and Spider-Man
are out to change the world, even
if the world doesn't want them.
The new series is crafted by all-star award winning writer
Eve L. Ewing as she continues to shape the future
of the Marvel universe.
Next, we're talking about ongoing runs of some
of our favorite Marvel comics, and first up
is Fantastic Four, #25.
It's written, of course, by Dan Slott with art
by the incredible RB, Silva and a beautiful cover
by Mark Brooks.
This issue has it all.
That's right, a new artist, a new villain, new uniforms,
and a new major permanent status quo change
from Marvel's first family.
All of this and an appearance by the one and only Dr. Doom.
Now elsewhere we have the start of a brand new story arc
in Captain Marvel #22.
It's written by Kelly Thompson with art
by Lee Garbett and a cover by Jorge Molina.
New York City is under attack, but this time
Captain Marvel can't save it.
In this issue, Carol Danvers faces
down a new villain, someone who is both familiar and strange.
We have all of that, we have one more thing.
We said we'd been teasing huge events,
and fans everywhere are talking about this one.
It's coming in December 2020, but we're too excited.
We had to talk about it right now.
It's King in Black #1.
It's written by Donny Cates with art by Ryan Stegman.
Donnie and Ryan's landmark run on Venom continues in December.
