THIRD EYE COMICS - WHAT'S NEW FOR 6/18/08

THIRD EYE COMICS
WHAT'S NEW FOR WEDNESDAY 6/18/08


HULK TRADE PAPERBACK SPECIAL!
In celebration of last week's release of the Hulk movie, all of our HULK trade paperbacks will be 10% from today (Monday 6/16/08) to Saturday 6/20/08! We're currently well-stocked on all the essentials, ranging from Dale Keown's AMAZING HULK: The End graphic novel to the current heavyweights PLANET HULK (a must-read for any of you who enjoyed last week's SKAAR: SON OF HULK), and WORLD WAR HULK, and it's tie-ins. So, come in this week and take advantage of our huge selection of great Hulk stories, past and present!

WOLVERINE #66 - OLD MAN LOGAN by MARK MILLAR AND STEVE MCNIVEN (CIVIL WAR) arrives this week!
It's not often that you get to see new and exciting things done with a character that's proven as popular as Wolverine, but this new Old Man Logan storyline sounds AMAZING! Tying into the mysterious new series from Mark Millar, 1985, Wolverine: Old Man Logan is set to be one of this summer's biggest story arcs. By the creative team that brought you CIVIL WAR, Old Man Logan is set 50 years into the future. No one has seen Wolverine in this time span. With a slight riff on the Clint Eastwood movie, Unforgiven, Logan has not popped his claws in many years, vowing to stay out of the craziness of his past. Some of the things mentioned to be in this series is the gamma-irradiated Hulk Gang, an 80-year old blind archer who just happens to be Hawkeye, and a new KINGPIN that has killed Magneto! This story arc is said to be tied in with the events of the upcoming Dr. Doom story arc in Fantastic Four, and the current 1985 series. How? We don't know, but, this looks like it's going to be a wild ride! Here's a link to a preview!

KICK-ASS #1 BACK IN STOCK THIS WEEK! ALL 3 ISSUES WILL BE IN STOCK AS OF WEDNESDAY!!
One of the biggest surprise hits of this year, Kick Ass, from Mark Millar and John Romita JR, has been an addictive read from the get-go. After selling out of two printings, Marvel finally makes the #1 available to you again, with this KICK ASS #1 DIRECTOR'S CUT edition. We will have all three current issues of the series back in stock as of this Wednesday, with 1,2, and 3 all available, so come by and snag them in one grab. Find out why this quirky little tale of a teenage comic fan who puts on a wetsuit and gets hospitalized has become one of our favorite reads here at Third Eye! We really can't say enough good things about the series, and with the #1 back in stock, you should definitely give it a read!

TWO HUGE TRADE PAPERBACK RELEASES! ASTONISHING X-MEN v.4, Y: THE LAST MAN v.10, and SINESTRO CORPS WARS v.2
Also arriving this week, we've got tHREE huge releases for trade paperbacks! Astonishing X-Men v.4 collects the final arc of Joss Whedon and Cassaday's phenomenal Astonishing X-Men run, and Y: The Last Man v.10 wraps up the last arc of Brian K. Vaughn's epic Vertigo series, Y: The Last Man! These were some of the best comic stories published in this decade, and now's your chance to catch up on them, with both runs being finished. Also dropping this week is the second collected edition of the SINESTRO CORPS WARS storyline that ran through all the Green Lantern titles last year. This was probably the BEST storyline DC ran last year, and if you didn't get a chance to check it out in the monthlies, now's your chance. We'll have both v.1 and 2 available on Wednesday!

SECRET INVASION TIE-INs for THIS WEEK!
We've got two big SECRET INVASION tie-ins coming out this week for you. First off, is SECRET INVASION: FANTASTIC FOUR #2 AND INCREDIBLE HERCULES #118! INCREDIBLE HERC is really turning heads as it's cult following is growing, and the SECRET INVASION tie-ins have actually been pretty cool in it. The Fantastic Four is beautifully illustrated by Barry Kitson, and brings a skrull blast from the past with Lyja, Johnny Storm's ex-fling!

TONS OF RESTOCKS + NEW POLL!
Be sure to check the Eye-Blog for a full list of items we've recently restocked here at Third Eye. We'll be updating the blog this week, with more restock updates, and more.
