Hello, Marvelites.
You're watching Marvel's Pull List,
and I'm Ryan, AKA Agent M.
And I'm Tucker Markus.
And every week, we read every single
Marvel comic-- even the weeks when
there are nigh on 30 issues--
and we tell you about four of them.
Tucker, what are we doing this week?
This week, we're talking about every single comic.
Every single comic.
Every single issue out this week.
We're talking about it because there's only four
out this week.
Oh, gosh.
Come on.
What are we doing?
Every individual issue on sale on December 26th.
And we're covering them here.
And we're starting with PETER PORKER:
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-HAM # 1.
I am so pumped about this series.
I think from a writing perspective, from an art
perspective-- something so different,
so familiar at the same time.
It's so funny.
That's the point.
It's written by Zeb Welch, who I'm super excited to see
take on this character.
But the art in here is really special--
this kind of, I guess, unique meta
take on different art styles, the different places and ways
that we encounter this character.
It is something that I think Spider Ham fans will adore,
but also, if you're just getting to know
the character for the first time, it is the perfect intro.
I have incredibly high hopes for this series,
and this is a great start.
Yeah.
It's got so many great characters, too.
Deer devil makes his return.
It's lots of fun.
All right.
Our second book to talk about is another new number one,
and that is DOCTOR STRANGE: SURGEON SUPREME.
That's right-- Surgeon Supreme because, as we saw
on the previous Doctor Strange comic book series,
Steven got the use of his hands back.
He can do them surgeries again.
And he has a moral obligation to help people however he can.
So he is now balancing between the magical side of things
and the surgical side of things.
We get to see him in the hospital, trying to save lives,
trying to stop demons and monsters
and all kinds of cool stuff.
It's a little bit of horror mixed with some really cool
hospital drama on top of that-- great big superhero
action adventure.
And in this issue--
the Wrecker-- who is one of my favorite Marvel villains.
Next up, we're talking about VENOM # 21.
This is the start of Venom Island,
something I know that Venom fans are really excited about.
We're coming off the back of absolute carnage, which was one
of the biggest events of 2019.
And now we're kicking off the end of the year
and into 2020 with a bang because not only do
we have Donny Cate's writing, but we
have Mr. Mark Bagley on art.
He is unstoppable.
He does this entire arc.
The way that Eddie Brock ends up on the Eponymous Island--
we will see.
It's really interesting.
It's kind of familiar to the tone and vibe of Venom,
but it's entirely different in ways
that I really didn't expect.
Another thing I didn't expect was Eddie shaving his beard.
- Oh. - He looks great.
- Yeah. - He looks great.
Hot stuff, baby.
If someone doesn't yell, get to the chopper,
in one of the issues of this series,
I'm going to have words with somebody.
But can't do that yet.
I got to talk about INCOMING # 1, and it is 96 pages strong.
It is huge.
It is awesome.
And it really revolves around a murder mystery.
It starts out with the Masked Raider.
It's a cool character we saw reintroduced
in MARVEL COMICS # 1,000.
Finding a body and then going from there,
we get to see the murder mystery sort of touch Daredevil
and Elektra, who then bring in Jessica Jones, who then brings
in Carol Danvers, who then brings in the Avengers--
and on and on it goes.
So it really is a cool tour of the Marvel Universe-- a
celebration of everything 2019.
All these amazing creators involved in our Marvel Comics
are here telling little snippets of stories,
giving you a taste of big, big things on the horizon.
You're going to look at this issue
and you're going to be like, OK, that all looked really cool.
And in six months, you're going to read
a comic go, wait a minute--
I read about that in INCOMING.
So you definitely want to check this out
if you're excited for what's to come in 2020.
This is kind of the can't miss book for the end of the year.
You only got four issues this week.
They're all bangers.
They're all great.
They're all books you've gotta pick up.
We'll tell you more about them on the podcast version.
I mean, we're going to go longer.
We're also-- on the podcast version this week--
going to talk about our favorite issues of 2019--
all across the board.
Do a little math.
Tell you some numbers and cool data, and get ready for 2020.
Until then, I'm Ryan.
- I'm Tucker. - And this is Marvel.
Your universe.
