Hello, Marvel-ites.
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 that comes out.
We pick a couple of them, we pick a topic,
and we tell you why you gotta check them out.
Tucker, what are we talking about this week?
The kids are all right, dot, dot, question mark.
Hm.
TUCKER: We don't know.
We're focusing on some young heroes
this week across four books that we
have selected, and some young characters as well.
We're starting with a big one, a big test for some of Marvel's
mightiest teen heroes.
And that comes in "Outlawed" number one.
Those mighty teen heroes that I'm talking about
are, of course, Kamala Khan, Miles Morales, Sam Alexander.
But we have a story here that kind of spans the breadth
of the world, in a big way.
Because these young heroes, they're doing their job.
They deal with the situation.
There's a lot of fallout from what goes down in this issue.
And it raises a bunch of questions--
a bunch of really difficult questions about the nature
of Super Heroes, about how much responsibility should be put
on the shoulders of teen heroes, about what they
should be allowed to do at all.
It's a really, really fascinating question
posed by writer Eve L. Ewing and the incredible artist
Kim Jacinto.
Because it not only has huge ramifications
across the planet, but it also gets to the heart
of these characters themselves.
It's all to be seen in this issue of "Outlawed,"
and in a ton of stuff coming after "Outlawed,"
which I'm really excited about.
But it all starts here.
Yeah.
Dust off your "Civil War"-style arguments.
I bet you're going to be having them real soon.
OK, so another book out this week-- big number one--
is "Spider-Woman" number one.
And look.
Spider-Woman, she's not one of the teen heroes.
She's about [MUMBLES] years old.
And so it's not really about her.
It's about a lot of other characters in the issue.
There are a bunch of kids.
Are they all right?
Some of them, some not.
There's one character-- if you are a Spider-Woman fan,
you're asking what about that kid?
Is that kid all right?
You're going to have to read the issue to find out.
I'm not spoiling that.
Check out the issue if you want to know about her new costume.
It's in the issue.
But Karla Pacheco coming on with Spider-Woman so fantastically.
It is awesome.
And Pere Perez is doing the art.
This book is funny.
It's action-packed.
It moves really quickly.
It's got some weird gross-out moments.
It's got some really funny sight gags.
It is kind of everything you want, with a little bit
of intrigue and explanation.
If you have never read a Spider-Woman comic,
this is going to be perfect for you.
Dive right into it.
And speaking of beloved teen Super Heroes,
there is no squad better than the Runaways.
And this is "Runaways" number 31.
This issue is the culmination of the Doc Justice
and the J-Team story arc, which has been so much fun
at the start, with the team becoming costumed Super
Heroes for the very first time, but then very quickly
figuring out that things weren't quite as they seemed.
It has just been an absolute joy to see this issue though.
Rainbow Rowell's writing and Andres Genolet's art
is just perfect.
There's actually very few words in this issue.
It's largely told through just incredible panel
layouts, beautiful art, beautiful colors.
When those words do come through,
they really, really hit home.
It is genuinely masterful work from this incredible team--
one of those teams that you just look at
and say, I don't know why, I don't know how,
but they were made to be together,
just like the Runaways themselves.
All right, one more young Super Hero book to spotlight.
That is "Ghost-Spider" issue number eight.
We know Gwen of Earth-65 is our Ghost-Spider.
She is awesome.
She comes to Earth-616 to study.
And that leads to some really interesting
connections and conversations about the events of "Outlawed."
We skirted around some of it a little bit.
We don't want to spoil anything for you.
But if you're reading "Outlawed,"
maybe you read "Ghost-Spider."
If you read "Ghost-Spider," I would pick up "Outlawed"
as well, just to get a whole sense of what's going on.
Gwen has a very important conversation
with Peter Parker about everything that is going
on with teen Super Heroes.
All that happens on 616.
Eventually, she goes back to Earth-65
and reminds us again why she's such a great dang Super Hero.
Really fantastic stuff from Seanan
Maguire, Ig Guara, and company.
I love this issue.
And in addition to this week's amazing new batch of books,
we have an exclusive look at a one-of-a-kind
collector's item for fans of classic Marvel mags.
Right.
There it is.
Oh, look at this guy.
TUCKER: Look.
Marvel has teamed up once again with The Folio Society
to create a unique and amazing collection of restored comics
from Marvel's silver age.
This collection, curated by famed Marvel editor Roy Thomas,
features 15 milestone stories from 15 seminal comic books,
such as "Amazing Fantasy" number 15, "Tales of Suspense"
number 39, "Fantastic Four" number five,
and many, many more.
Yeah.
So the artwork for the box is drawn by Paolo Rivera,
illustrator of "The Amazing Spider-Man"
and "Mythos" and tons more.
And it's hand-inked by his father,
the award-winning Joe Rivera.
TUCKER: This set also comes with a facsimile edition
of "Fantastic Four" number one and an exclusive digitally
signed print by Paolo.
Look, you're going to want to check this out.
It's really, really cool if you love Marvel history, the Marvel
Silver Age, if you want to just see more, learn
more, hold something special.
You can order this from The Folio Society
at FolioSociety.com.
Check that out.
And then check us out next week for another episode.
Until then, I'm Ryan. - And I'm Tucker.
And this is Marvel.
Your universe.
Yeah.
