This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 5/9/12


HIGHER EARTH #1 DROPS THIS WEDNESDAY FEATURING A SPECIAL “THIRD EYE” VARIANT!
From indie superstar writer SAM HUMPHRIES (SACRIFICE, OUR LOVE IS REAL)
Meet writer SAM HUMPHRIES this SATURDAY at our HIGHER EARTH #1 Launch Party!
Our pick of the week this week is this stellar creator-owned debut from indie superstar SAM HUMPHRIES. HIGHER EARTH is the definition of kick-ass SCI-FI storytelling, and not since WARREN ELLIS, have we seen the kind of hard sci-fi, bigger than life ass-kickery that is on display in HIGHER EARTH.
As many of you know, SAM HUMPHRIES, is a favorite of our’s here at Third Eye, with his work on smash hits like SACRIFICE and OUR LOVE IS REAL. So, when we saw he had a stellar new creator-owned title on the way that explored things like class warfare, and inter dimensional warfare…. well, we just had to dive into this one, folks!
We’ve had a very special limited to our stores only variant cover of HIGHER EARTH #1 put together, which features the heroes of HIGHER EARTH hacking and slashing their way through a sea of the blue, tentacle-bearded three-eyed monsters that you’ve seen all over many of our promotional items.
We’re also going to have Sam on hand this Saturday for a very special HIGHER EARTH launch party to kick off the release of the title. You can get your copy signed by Sam, as well as the first issue of his upcoming new ULTIMATES run which begins this Wednesday in ULTIMATES #10.
So, what is HIGHER EARTH all about? Picture this: SPACE IS DEAD. Why conquer other planets when there’s a perfectly good Earth in the universe next door?
Heidi, a girl born in garbage. Rex, a soldier gone rogue. The only thing between them and their destiny is an empire of a hundred different Earths, across a hundred alternate timelines.
And, above them all, one majestic planet dominates them all: HIGHER EARTH. A planet of the finest resources where only the most elite in the multiverse may live.
This Wednesday, the war to OCCUPY HIGHER EARTH goes into full effect, and we’re pumped like all get out for this series.
If you’re a fan of stuff like the recent IMAGE series SAGA, then you have gotta give HIGHER EARTH a shot, as it brings the same kind of gritty down-to-earth storytelling to a high-flying, swashbuckling kind of sci-fi story that will captivate you in every way imaginable.
On a side-note, this book has already sold out it’s first prints (although we’ll have plenty on hand this week at Third Eye), and is going to a second printing. We already know from past experience with Sam’s other books SACRIFICE and OUR LOVE IS REAL, that his stuff tends to end up lighting up the collator’s market, so don’t miss out on the first printings of this one this Wednesday.

BATMAN: THE COURT OF OWLS HARDCOVER  DROPS THIS WEDNESDAY, DELIVERING THE FIRST CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED STORY ARC OF THE NEW 52 BATMAN by SCOTT SNYDER
Here it is, Third Eye Faithful! One of the hottest graphic novel releases of the Summer, BATMAN: THE COURT OF OWLS is the highly anticipated first graphic novel collection of SCOTT SNYDER’S incredible DC NEW 52 BATMAN run, and leads directly into the red hot NIGHT OF THE OWLS arc that’s running through the BATMAN books.
This book has quickly climbed to the top of everyone’s favorites list when it comes to the DC NEW 52, and with the NIGHT OF THE OWLS going into full effect, we can see why.
The one-two-three punch of SCOTT SNYDER (writer of AMERICAN VAMPIRE, BATMAN THE BLACK MIRROR and GATES OF GOTHAM), GREG CAPULLO (legendary artist of SPAWN), and JONATHAN GLAPION make this book into what we like to call: the total package.
Seriously, if you want to know what it felt like to be a fan and reading Frank Miller’s original BATMAN work WHILE it was happening… you need to get into the Snyder/Capullo run.
There’s a unique, indescribable quality here to it, where all we can say is that it’s just… GREAT. It has the dynamic, fluidity and action-packed pacing of Jim Lee’s HUSH, but it also has the noir sensibilities and mystery and intrigue of THE LONG HALLOWEEN. There’s also a strong influence of YEAR ONE and DARK KNIGHT RETURNS in how Gotham and it’s inhabitants are portrayed, and heck, we can even sniff out hints of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini’s BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES when watching the fight sequences that Capullo lays out.
The story focuses on a series of brutal murder that have rocked Gotham to it’s core, causing Batman to realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he’s sworn to protect. Could the Courtt of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption?
Is there a secret society that’s responsible for the pain, the misery, and the general rottenness of Gotham?
Folks: trust us on this one, you will not buy a better graphic novel this year. Just like BLACK MIRROR blew our minds last Summer, THE COURT OF OWLS will blow your’s this year.
Prefer to read in the singles? We’ve got BATMAN 1-9 in stock and available now to catch you up to current.

WALKING DEAD #97 *EVERYTHING TO FEAR PART ONE* – THE NEXT ARC OF WALKING DEAD BEGINS THIS WEDNESDAY, PICKING UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE UPCOMING WALKING DEAD VOLUME 16! 
WANNA JUMP ONTO THE MONTHLY SERIES & FOLLOW THE ROAD TO ISSUE #100?
START HERE!
 WALKING DEAD is in full effect this year, Third Eye Faithful, and what more can we say.. I mean, it’s one of the BEST consistently quality books on the stands after nearly 7 years of running.
This Wednesday marks the release of a very special issue with WALKING DEAD #97, the very first issue to follow up on the upcoming WALKING DEAD VOL.16 (collecting issues 91-96), and the first chapter of the brutal countdown to issue #100 story arc “EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
Folks, you know how hard it is now to find copies of WALKING DEAD #91 and #92, right? And, you know why, right? It’s cause about three months after they’re released, a new graphic novel drops, and all of the sudden, everyone is dying to get caught up on the singles.
Well, if you’ve been on the fence about getting your WALKING DEAD fix in the monthlies, we highly recommend you hop on board with this Wednesday’s WALKING DEAD #97. Not only is this the first issue to follow the upcoming VOL.16 (which is due out in June), it’s also the first issue of the EVERYTHING TO FEAR arc, which culminates in the highly anticipated issue #100… and will be delivering the biggest shock in WALKING DEAD history yet.
Not reading WALKING DEAD yet? I cannot tell you enough: GET INTO THIS series, folks, YOU WILL LOVE IT. If you even remotely enjoy the show, you’ll love the comics.
We can get you on board with the WALKING DEAD graphic novels, and get you caught up in no time flat.

  “THE FINAL EXECUTION” CHAPTER 1 BEGINS IN UNCANNY X-FORCE #25 THIS WEDNESDAY, FEATURING A STELLAR NEW ART TEAM CONSISTING OF MIKE MCKONE AND DARK ANGEL SAGA artist JEROME OPENA
UNCANN X-FORCE IS ONCE AGAIN A MUST-READ!
UNCANNY X-FORCE has been one of the high quality marks of the MARVEL line-up for the last couple of years, with the DARK ANGEL SAGA really bringing a strong showing as one of the best X-MEN story lines we’ve read in YEARS.
Featuring RICK REMENDER as the writer of the title for 25 issues straight, and an all-star cast of artists, UNCANNY X-FORCE constantly impresses the hell out of us.
But, it’s this week’s UNCANNY X-FORCE #25, with the start of the new arc, FINAL EXECUTION, that has us extra-pumped. Why? Well, number one: the art team. Mike McKone and Jerome Opena delivering the kind of artwork that we’ve come to expect out of UNCANNY X-FORCE. While we loved the Otherworld TRIAL OF FANTOMEX arc, we did miss Opena and Brooks on art chores.
McKone brings a very killer style back to the book, and we’re pumped to see him on board.
Secondly… FINAL EXECUTION seems to be really building on the plot points that Remender has built in his APOCALYPSE SOLUTION and DARK ANGEL SAGA arcs.
From the start, we’re asked the question: Who are the Omegas and why is X-Force tasked with hunting them down for termination?
This one looks to be a saga that captures the same kind of high adventure spirit that DARK ANGEL SAGA did, bringing a new school approach to classic X-Men storytelling.
And, this week’s issue #25 is the PERFECT issue to jump on board with, and get into UNCANNY X-FORCE.

DAN THE UNHARMABLE #1 DELIVERS PURE SLICE OF LIFE CRIME NOIR MADNESS FROM AVATAR PRESS, PUBLISHERS OF CROSSED, FERALS, NEONOMICON & MORE!
From the writer of STRAY BULLETS!
Plus, the main character looks like Buzz from THE MELVINS, how can you not love it?
Dan the Unharmable looks KICK-ASS. First off.. it’s a crime comic by the master of crime comics, DAVID LAPHAM, writer of STRAY BULLETS. While I won’t go into the details of why STRAY BULLETS still remains one of my all-time favorite reads, I will say this: Lapham can write crime. Secondly, it’s being published by the one and only AVATAR PRESS, the fine folks responsible for bringing you mayhem and misery in books like CROSSED and FERALS. So far: this is a winning combo.
Seriously though, this book is a blast, and is a fresh, fun new spin on the crime comics genre, bringing an ultra-violent sense of dark humor to the book.
This new series follows a carefree amnesiac whose happily low standard of living is supported by dangerous odd jobs — a type he’s uniquely suited for, since he cannot be injured or feel pain. The invulnerable protagonist is drawn into a modern Hollywood murder mystery involving an old flame and their orphaned kids.
So, it’s a very BLUE ESTATE by way of PULP FICTION kind of kick-assery, as we’re shown this lovable loser who cannot be hurt. Bullets, fire, drowning, whatever, nothing can hurt him. And, see, that’s also psychological. Nothing riles him up. Nothing bothers him. And, from there, this character is thrown into a situation he can’t ignore. Four orphaned kids, a mother brutally murdered in the style of a classic Hollywood murder… even the most hardened man alive can’t ignore this.
Folks, DAN THE UNHARMABLE is a MUST, and I highly recommend giving it a shot this Wednesday at Third Eye!

HORROR COMICS LEGENDS STEVE NILES & BERNIE WRIGHTSON PAIR UP TO DELIVER THE AMAZING NEW FRANKENSTEIN ALIVE ALIVE #1 THIS WEDNESDAY FROM IDW PUBLISHING
A CAN’T MISS, MUST-READ SEQUEL TO THE ORIGINAL STORY OF FRANKENSTEIN!
Bernie Wrightson is the definition of comics legend. He’s one of those rare superstar creators whose work has just gotten better and better with the length of time he’s spent in the industry, and his most famous work, is the graphic novella adaptation of MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN.
This masterpiece is so damn good, so well-done, heck, I have a print from it in my living room, that’s how much I love it. It’s just an amazing testament to what horror comics, heck, what comics as a whole, can be.
So, when we saw that those crafty, talented folks at IDW were working to put together a sequel to the project, with horror comics superstar and creator of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, STEVE NILES, on board to pen it… well, we got pretty damn stoked.
Now, Wrightson returns to the world of Frankenstein and his monster, with a story that picks up at the end of the original Frankenstein story, and follows the monster’s miserable journeys.
A must-read for any monster kid, new school, or old school, you’ll freakin’ love it.

The AVENGERS VS X-MEN tie-ins have been freakin’ off the chain, pure quality across the board, and we haven’t been able to get enough of them, folks.

Who doesn’t love the bad-assery of FORGOTTEN REALMS, and the classic Dark Elf anti-hero DRIZZT? IDW has done a fantastic job with their D&D comics up to this point, and this brand new ongoing series which explores the worlds of FORGOTTEN REALMS looks to be no exception to the rule.

DEATHSTROKE #9 MARKS THE DC NEW 52 DEBUT OF THE ONE AND ONLY LOBO! A MUST-READ, AND KEY ISSUE IN THE NEW 52 AS ONE OF DC’S BIGGEST FAN FAVORITES GETS A NEW 52 SPIN
This week’s DEATHSTROKE #9 is a pretty special issue as it marks the debut of Image Comics co-founder ROB LIEFELD on both writing and art chores. And if there’s anyone who’s perfect fit for DEATHSTROKE, it’s LIEFELD. Guns, bigger-than-life action, and ultra-violent mayhem galore, this first issue of the new DEATHSTROKE run is off-the-chain fun.
Also, making this issue a very special arrival is the FIRST APPEARANCE of the DC NEW 52 LOBO, which makes DEATHSTROKE #9 a key issue, because lets face it: everyone loves LOBO, and him first showing up in the NEW 52 is a must-snag.
The entire run of DEATHSTROKE has been pretty darn solid, so if you wanted to jump on board, we’ve got issues 1-8 in stock to catch you up to this week’s #9, but you can also jump on fresh with issue #9, as it’s the start of a brand new arc.

FATALE #5 – IMAGE COMICS DELIVERS PURE SUPERNATURAL CRIME NOIR MADNESS WITH THIS AMAZING MIX OF CTHULHU-INSPIRED HORROR and CLASSIC CRIME COMICS STORYTELLING
A MUST-READ!
Damn, we’ve been in love with FATALE since issue #1, and cannot get enough of the series. This surprise hit of 2012 from IMAGE COMICS has been keeping us on the hook with it’s fantastic blend of otherworldly horror, and demonic intrigue, with a strong dose of the crime noir mastery that ED BRUBAKER and SEAN PHILLIPS are known for on past works like INCOGNITO and CRIMINAL.
Fatale’s first arc veers dangerously toward it’s crushing end, as all the pieces fall into place, and Josephine and her lover are prepared to execute their plan. However, only one of them knows what kind of men (or.. demons) they’re dealing with. Nothing will go as planned, and folks, there will be A LOT of blood.
You want ritual murder, Cthulhu gangsters, WORLD WAR II conspiracies, immortal femme fatales, and one of the best damn comics on the stands? You gotta read FATALE. You’ll love it, trust us.
Don’t forget, each issue is packed with extra goodies, including very cool write-ups and essays at the end of each issue on various facets of horror and crime fiction.
Wanna get caught up on FATALE? We’ve got issues 1-4 in stock now to get you up to date for this Wednesday’s #5.

So, when we saw that IDW would be re-releasing these bad boys with a stunning color treatment that makes Eastman and Laird’s story and art pop even more, we practically lost it.

In this week’s WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #10, big things go down, as Cyclops makes a very rare trip to the JEAN GREY SCHOOL OF HIGHER LEARNING…. and, the question is asked: Will Wolverine’s X-Men join Cyclops in his war against the Avengers?

Whether it’s the secret origin of how CINDERELLA became a top secret super-spy, or the current arc which explores the Snow Queen capturing Briar Rose and Ali Baba, while Fairy Godmothers run amok, this book is fresh, and fantastic, and we can’t get enough.
Highly recommended if you’re a fan of TV shows like ONCE UPON A TIME, or dig modern fantasy stuff like STUFF OF LEGEND, FABLES, and Zenescope’s WONDERLAND trilogy.

GARTH ENNIS (Writer of THE BOYS, CROSSED, PREACHER, JENNIFER BLOOD, THE SHADOW and MORE) joins forces with AMANDA CONNER (POWER GIRL) with THE PRO! 
A must-read for fans of THE BOYS!
The dark sense of humor of GARTH ENNIS is one of our favorite things in comics here at Third Eye, and he’s given us many greats over the years with THE BOYS, PREACHER, CROSSED, and more.
Now, back in print, is his killer one-shot of depravity, THE PRO. This outrageous story takes GARTH ENNIS to a whole new level of insanity, as he takes on an idea no one else could, or would: the world’s first superhero prostitute.. THE PRO.
This, Third Eye Faithful, is pretty much required reading if you’ve dug Ennis’s other work on stuff like PREACHER, or THE BOYS, and we highly recommend snagging it this Wednesday.
PLUS: Amanda Conner’s art ALWAYS kicks ass!

SCARLET SPIDER #5 – ONE OF MARVEL’S BEST RELEASES OF 2012 CONTINUES TO GET BETTER & BETTER!
Folks, I know I keep preaching about how much this book rocks my socks, but seriously: SCARLET SPIDER is good stuff! We love this RED HOOD-esque take on the classic Marvel icon of the ’90s, and the creative team of CHRIS YOST and RYAN STEGAMAN have done an amazing job thus far with the book.
This week’s SCARLET SPIDER #5 continues to impress, as the PETER PARKER clone gone wrong, Kaine, finds a nuclear bomb ticking in his newfound home… and, it’s up to him to stop it.
Meanwhile, it turns out the AVENGERS themselves aren’t too keen on Scarlet Spider’s activities, and are about to step in with his brutal, no holds barred method of fighting crime.
Folks, if the MARVEL UNIVERSE ever had their own spin on the RED HOOD, it’d be the SCARLET SPIDER, and we love it.
All the power, none of the responsibility, how can you go wrong?
Wanna get caught up? We’ve got issues 1-4 in stock now to catch you up to this week’s #5.

A must-read, and a perfect book for all ages, TAKIO is a blast, folks, and we highly recommend checking it out this Wednesday.
