FINAL CRISIS #7 CONCLUDES DC'S FINAL CRISIS THIS WEEK!FINAL CRISIS REVELATIONS #5 WRAPS UP THIS WEEK AS WELL!
One of the whoppers this week is Final Crisis #7 which concludes the Grant Morrison's epic hellfire and brimstone saga of the DC Universe. This is it, folks, the entire DCU will be reborn in fire here, and we're pretty stoked here at Third Eye to see just what's up ahead on the horizon. After that shocking ending to FINAL CRISIS #6 (and while I'm avoiding spoilers, I will say that those of you who were following BATMAN: RIP, should definitely jump on FINAL CRISIS #6 if you haven't already), we're wondering what's coming next. DC is tight-lipped in the solicits about what to expect out of Final Crisis #7, but having seen some glimpses of what's going to be happening this spring in DC... it looks like some serious bad news is going to be hitting DC's Big 3. So, do yourselves a favor, and beat it to the shop this week to see just what we can expect out of the NEW DC Universe! Click here to read more about FINAL CRISIS #7!
Also, arriving this week, we've got the conclusion to the surprisingly great FINAL CRISIS: REVELATIONS. This awesome miniseries from Greg Rucka and Phillip Tan gives us Vandal Savage as the reincarnation of Cain (yeah, the biblical Cain... you know, like Abel's brother), along with the new Question and Spectre fighting off the hordes of Darkseid's minions. A brutally awesome little story, we're pumped to see how it concludes and how it ties together some aspects of Final Crisis. Click here to read more about FINAL CRISIS REVELATIONS #5!
LADY BULLSEYE CONCLUDES THIS WEEK IN DAREDEVIL #115!
One of the most exciting Daredevil story arcs since back when Bendis was doing his Murdock on Trial storyline, Lady Bullseye has totally renewed our interest in this book, and now we're completely stoked for the upcoming RETURN OF THE KING storyline. Ed Brubaker (writer of Captain America, CRIMINAL, and INCOGNITO) has given us a classic Daredevil yarn mixed with elements of a Japanese grindhouse chick out for revenge flick. This week, the bone-crushing, artery-slicing conclusion hits the racks, as Lady Bullseye and a whole mess of ninjas throw down with the Man Without Fear. It's more kung fu than you could shake a Sonny Chiba triple-feature at! Click here to read a preview of DAREDEVIL #115 *LADY BULLSEYE CHAPTER 5*
CROSSED #3 ARRIVES! THE SICKEST COMIC YOU'LL EVER READ!
All right, you've read the Boys, you've read Preacher, and you've read Punisher MAX... how much further can Garth Ennis push the boundaries of good taste? Well, Crossed proves that we haven't seen ANYTHING yet. The less I say about the first three issues (#0, #1, and #2), the better.. because trust me, this is definitely one you'll have to read to believe. What I can tell you is the basic story of Crossed: an outbreak, similar to a zombie plague, turns people into depraved, pure evil hellions driven to do all sorts of horrible things. The book follows a small group of survivors as they try to find safety and shelter in this world gone mad. Unlike most zombie stories, these individuals are not undead, and can still think, plan, and scheme. Which makes things VERY interesting. We know that everyone has been eagerly awaiting the next installment of this twisted maxiseries, but for those of you who haven't read Crossed yet, here's a link to an interview with Ennis about the series. And you better believe that we have issues 0,1, and 2 all in stock here still at Third Eye for those of you who need to catch up!
Also, don't miss Garth Ennis's bloody, brutal Western STREETS OF GLORY , which will be hitting the shop in trade paperback format this week! Another hard-hitting, twisted story that Garth Ennis put out for rising star publisher AVATAR PRESS.
GARTH ENNIS BEGINS NEW BATTLEFIELDS SERIES THIS WEEK WITH BATTLEFIELDS: DEAR BILLY #1!
If there's one thing that Ennis has proven he can do, it's write a fantastic war story. His BATTLEFIELDS: Night Witches 3-parter impressed the heck out of a lot of you (and you know Third Eye loved it or else we wouldn't have been pushing it so hard), and now, he's got the next in his line of BATTLEFIELDS comics due out this week with BATTLEFIELDS: DEAR BILLY #1! Set during the Japanese invasion of Singapore, this new story promises to deliver the same hard-hitting, heart-filled war stories that Ennis is famous for. Click here for a preview of BATTLEFIELDS: DEAR BILLY #1!

FANTASTIC FOUR #563 FEATURES 1985 TIE-IN + 1985 PREMIERE HC OUT THIS WEEK!!
I know, I know, I know... all summer long, that master of storytelling, Mark Millar has been keeping us strung along.. promising a cohesive tie between OLD MAN LOGAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, and 1985. Well, at the very end of FANTASTIC FOUR #562, I believe we saw that tie starting to be revealed. Not to mention, the subtle mentions in OLD MAN LOGAN of Reed and Sue slipping into the time-stream, and of course, the map in OLD MAN LOGAN featuring the names of a couple prominent 1985 characters. But wait no more, folks, this week... in the pages of Fantastic Four #563, we're promised a THREAT FROM THE WORLD OF 1985. Don't believe me? Go here and read for yourself. Now, Millar originally had said that his whole 1985, OLD MAN LOGAN and FF crossover... was going to be one huge Dr. Doom story... a story about the man who perhaps taught Dr. Doom a little bit about everything he knows? Well, we can see a little glimpse of that in the very end of FANTASTIC FOUR #562.
And, speaking of MARVEL 1985... the amazing miniseries where Marvel super-villains circa 1985 find a way into OUR world, the REAL WORLD, and start turning it into a slaughterhouse... that one comes out this week in collected format, so you can now catch up on your 1985! Click here to read more about MARVEL 1985.
WATCHMEN ACTION FIGURES IN STOCK THIS WEDNESDAY!!!
THE must-buy action figures of 2009 are here, and we know that you guys are going to be foaming at the mouth for these! Watchmen, Watchmen, Watchmen. The BEST friggin comic book of all-time (at least in our opinions) is being released as a feature film this spring, and it looks like it's going to KICK ASS. This week, the brand new WATCHMEN action figures are shipping, and these things look SO sweet it's unbelievable. We'll be getting in Rorshach, Nite Owl, Ozymandias, and Silk Spectre in all their plastic glory.

CITY OF DUST #4 HITS SHELVES THIS WEEK!
Steve Nile's amazing blend of cyberpunk, future noir, and the supernatural has been winning over more and more readers every month. With only one more issue to go before the big finale of his hit miniseries, we're pretty damn pumped to see where this great new series is going to go next. This is the story of Phillip Khrome, a police detective in a future where fiction, religion, stories, everything has been outlawed, and the imagination has been made sterile. We learn early on that Khrome already has plenty of self-doubt, considering he caused his own father to get into trouble when he was young by re-telling the story of the Tortoise and the Hare at school. But how do you go head to head with the supernatural in a world where there's no folklore? How do you know that silver bullets harm werewolves, and vampires hate garlic? That's where things get interesting. IF you haven't already checked out City Of Dust, we have ALL of the first 3 issues still available here at Third Eye. The artworks amazing, and the story is fantastic. Give it a look. And meanwhile, you may want to keep an eye out for new publisher RADICAL. They're turning some heads with City Of Dust, Shrapnel, and the upcoming new Warren Ellis book, HOT WIRE. Click here to read more about CITY OF DUST.
