This week on Marvel's Pull List,
we're announcing new books coming in October,
the scariest month of the year.
Ryan's in the corner doing something.
I don't know what.
Tucker, I'm just checking email before we do the show.
Oh, but what about your spam folder?
[SCREAMING]
Hello, Marvelites.
You're watching Marvel's Pull List.
And I'm Ryan, a.k.a.
Agent M.
And I'm Tucker Markus.
And every week, we read every single Marvel comic,
and pick about four of them.
We pick a topic.
We tell you why you got to check him out.
Tucker what are we talking about today?
Ding dong, we're going up to the front door
of the haunted house of ideas.
(DRACULA ACCENT) Welcome to our haunted house.
Very good.
And very appropriate.
We have selected four issues that
have different really fascinating
angles on the horror genre.
It's a perfect time of year for it.
We're starting with the great one.
This is MARVEL ZOMBIES: RESURRECTION # 1.
They are back.
It's really, really interesting how
we dig into this zombie story.
Because it's not the one you expect.
We actually visit outer space.
And this book becomes this amazing amalgam
of cosmic action, with zombie action.
And it goes from there.
It's overwhelming.
It's terrifying.
It is disturbing at times.
It's everything you want from a book like this,
at the perfect time of year.
If this had a soundtrack, the first couple of pages
would be just a gentle thump.
Like, a just really intense like wait, what is happening?
And then you get into it, and it's nightmare.
It's really good, really genuinely scary.
TUCKER MARKUS: Yeah, great.
Also a great issue is CONAN THE BARBARIAN # 10.
This issue of course is part of the big epic that Jason Aaron,
Mahmud Asrar, Matt Wilson, and the team have been telling,
the life and death of Conan.
Now we start to see all the threads come together.
And they are blood red, because we are seeing how the children,
those little scary--
those disturbing children practically bathe in blood.
They subside on blood.
You see a character's head get lopped off.
But they don't die.
Sometimes the dead don't die.
And it's really nasty, and there's
monsters, and elements that are coming up, and down,
and around the ground.
And this it's creeps.
Yeah.
As we've walked down the horror halls of the haunted house
of ideas this Halloween, we visited the cosmic,
we visited Conan.
And now we're going over to the biological
terror of CONTAGION # 5.
This is the final issue of this limited series, which has been
so fascinating, as this biological terror,
disgusting threat, has kind of taken over New York City.
We get to see characters like Might,
night characters like Iron Fist, characters like The Thing,
go up against something that they kind of inherently
can't fight.
It has a very special, super unique angle
on this kind of horror book.
It's released the perfect time of year, of course.
Seeing how this one wraps up a super, super fascinating.
I would just say, I don't know, look out, Yancy Street.
Look out.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, if you just take a little jaunt across town,
you're already downtown, you just take a little nice little
stroll, you'll make it to the Sanctum Santorum for DOCTOR
STRANGE ANNUAL # 1, where the main
story in this issue is set.
And it's really cool, this is set actually on Halloween,
as that's when the focal point of all the mystical energies,
and you know, magic, magic, magic,
all that good stuff happens.
You get Doctor Strange and some of his best magical buddies
doing some spells, having a good time, sitting in a circle.
You know, doing whatever magicians do.
Yeah.
And it's really fun.
Unfortunately, things go awry.
Some spells are broken, some snakes
start talking and messing things up, as they do.
And there's a lot of fun.
It is a joyous Halloween story.
It is told, you know, in a way that's
like, yeah Halloween is the greatest
holiday to some people.
And this is the feeling of that issue.
There's also a backup story which is straight up creepy,
just nasty, and weird, and disturbing,
and it has this ending that sticks with you.
Yeah, it's really cool.
You are going to have to read the issue
to find out all about it.
Can find out all about all the issues
that are out this week when you listen to Marvel's
Pull List, the podcast version.
Get it wherever you get your audio.
And then we'll be back with another episode next week.
I'm Ryan. - And I'm Tucker.
And this is Marvel.
Your universe.
