Hello, Marvelites.
You're watching Marvel's Pull List.
And I'm Ryan, AKA AgentM.
And I'm Tucker Markus.
And every week we read every single Marvel
comic that comes out.
We pick a bunch of them, we pick a topic,
we tell you why you got to check them out.
Tucker, what are we going for this week?
We are talking about THE END, starting with Captain Marvel
THE END # 1, which is one of three titled THE END books this
week that showcase some potential
endings for these characters.
Some potential goodbyes.
And this one obviously chronicles the end
of Carol Danvers' story.
It is written by Kelly Thompson with art by Carmen Carnero.
A couple of absolute all stars in mighty Marvel comics today.
I just adore the way that Kelly imbues this story with not just
huge, huge enormous cosmic action,
but with beautiful little intimate moments.
And then the way that Carmen, who is unbelievable,
executes those between, you know,
the amazing physicality of those cosmic moments,
and then just the beautiful little acting
moments of those relationships.
To see it all put together is really something to behold.
It actually reminds me a little bit of The Death of Captain
Marvel, one of the most classic Marvel
comics stories in history.
It is something that really deserves that kind of plaudits.
It is excellent stuff.
One of my favorites of the week.
Yeah.
One of the great things about these THE END stories
is that they are just full of worldbuilding.
You know, new characters, new costumes, new ideas.
There's a ton of that in Captain Marvel: THE END.
There's also a ton in Doctor Strange:
THE END, which is the second of our THE END books
that we're talking about this week.
And in this one, we get to see Doctor
Strange in his final moments as he
shuffles off this mortal coil.
But it's about the journey getting there, and why he's
there, and him being the last, like, practitioner
of the mystic arts.
And what that means to him, and then what has happened to Wong,
what has happened to the world around him.
It also ties into another story by the same creators Leah
Williams and Filipe Andrade.
Won't tell you what it is, but the way it
all sort of ties together and becomes one big story
is fantastic.
Our third THE END book this week is Deadpool: THE END # 1.
And this is brought to you by Joe Kelly, who's
writing obviously a modern Deadpool
legend there alongside Mike Hawthorne
and Victor Olazaba on art.
And boy oh boy, do those guys have a lot of work
to do in this issue.
Because Joe Kelly, when he gets the--
this comes across his desk, he says,
tell an ending of Deadpool.
What are you going to do?
You're not going to hold back.
And that is exactly what Joe Kelly presents.
Here it is a kitchen sink story.
So many characters, so many storylines, so many artifacts,
so many little details that Mike and Victor
pull off beautifully.
It has so many great moments, so many really
interesting character interactions
that I did not see coming.
It is so much fun.
The way that we see Deadpool team up
with a few different characters in here is so great.
Bobby Drake, I'm looking at you.
You'll see what that means when you read.
But the way that this issue ends specifically
is so perfect Deadpool.
All right, the last book for us to talk about is not another
THE END title, but it is the end of a big storyline
in Conan the Barbarian # 12.
This is the end of The Life and Death of Conan,
and it's such a cool story.
We've seen Conan killed.
He died, but he's back to fight a giant blood
monster and its weird children thing creatures.
We get introduced to Conan's son in this issue,
and it's a really cool storyline.
The end of this big 12 issue arc is also the beginning
of a lot of stories to come for Conan, for the series,
for much more.
And it was awesome and bloody and brutal.
Exactly what you look for from a great Conan story.
But there are so many more comics for us to talk about.
We're going to tell you all about them on Marvel's
Pull List the podcast version.
Get it wherever you get your audio.
And actually, check out This Week in Marvel this week as
well.

books this week on TWIM.
Check that out wherever you get your audio.
We'll be back with another episode here next week.
I'm Ryan. - And I'm Tucker.
And this is Marvel.
Your universe.
The end.
