I speak English Natively and this is just not used. It may be correct grammar but it sounds wrong to me. I would say "Here comes Chris and Marty". If it was a group of people I would say "Here they come". If it was a band I would say, "Here come the Barbarianz". I think if you list the individual names it would be "comes", Marty being an add on. Then again we Americans are known for speaking incorrectly, so who am I to say, I certainly haven't studied this with any care. My example is just how it would be used in a conversation in the US. Why did I feel that I had to write this email with perfect grammar, spelling and capitalization? Teddybut
