This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 2/13/13


UNCANNY X-MEN #1 -- CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT. JOIN US FOR THE LAUNCH OF THE LANDMARK X-MEN TITLE!
 
We are completely, and totally stoked for the arrival of UNCANNY X-MEN #1 this Wednesday. I mean, just LOOK at how bad-ass Magneto looks here? It's like he spent some time hanging out in a DEVIL MAY CRY video game or something, with that killer new armor!
  
This Wednesday, the true flagship book of the X-MEN returns. In the wake of the Phoenix, the world has changed and is torn on exactly what Cyclops and his team of X-Men are -- visionary revolutionaries or dangerous terrorists? 
  
Whatever the truth, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto, and Magik are out in the world gathering up new mutants and redefining the name and legacy of the Uncanny X-Men. 
  
In all honesty, this is Cyclops taking the militant by any means necessary philosophy he embodied in AVENGERS VS. X-MEN and running with it even more, with members of his X-Tinction Team in place. 
  
Featuring ALL NEW X-MEN writer BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS handling the writing chores, and WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN maestro CHRIS BACHALO handling the artwork, UNCANNY X-MEN is looking to be one of the most promising new MARVEL NOW books on the stands.
  
As we've seen with ALL NEW X-MEN, Bendis is completely reinvigorated with the X-Universe to play in, and is on fire, so we can only imagine what he'll be doing with UNCANNY.
  
  
Don't forget to join us this Wednesday for a very special UNCANNY X-MEN #1 Launch Party, where we'll be doing the following awesomeness:
  
*FREE UNCANNY X-MEN Swag!
  
*FIRST Chance to purchase UNCANNY X-MEN #1 Variants
  
*PURCHASE the special LAUNCH PARTY exclusive DEADPOOL '53 State Birds' Variant featuring the BALTIMORE ORIOLE!

THE DEATH OF THE FAMILY COMES TO A SHOCKING CONCLUSION IN THIS WEDNESDAY'S BATMAN #17 -- DO NOT MISS WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST JOKER STORY IN YEARS
BATMAN continues to be one of the most impressive monthly titles on the stands, and this week's BATMAN #17 brings the shocking conclusion to SCOTT SNYDER & GREG CAPULLO's epic DEATH OF THE FAMILY story arc. 
 
The same team who brought you THE COURT OF OWLS, has been doing an amazing job of pretty much defining THE JOKER in the 21st century, and this issue here is the swan song for their epic reinvention of the Clown Prince of Crime.
  
Not since ARKHAM ASYLUM and THE KILLING JOKE have we seen the Joker this terrifying, as he rampages through the entire Bat-Family, leaving no member of Gotham untouched.
  
What's under the platter? What secret does The Joker hold? 
  
Third Eye Faithful: this is going to be the book that everyone is talking about come Wednesday evening, so make sure you pop in and grab your copy this new comic day. 
  
Wanna get caught up on the DEATH OF THE FAMILY arc? We've got all of the main chapters in stock (BATMAN 13-16), as well as all of the tie-in books too. Pop by & we'll get you up to date.

IDW DEBUTS A BRAND NEW GHOSTBUSTERS ONGOING SERIES WITH THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS #1 THIS WEDNESDAY! 
Meet the successors to the original Team in this New Series
Okay, Third Eye Faithful, you know us: we're huge Ghostbusters fans here at Third Eye. We love the movies, we love the comics, heck, the video games, the whole shebang. We're big fans of the world of Ghostbusters.
 
So, when we saw that our pals over at IDW were launching a brand new GHOSTBUSTERS series, and judging from how great they've done with their past Ghostbusters books, we knew this would be a must-read.
 
What's the scoop on this all-new team of GHOSTBUSTERS?
  
The Ghostbusters are gone, spirited away by some dastardly demons from another dimension... but spectral shenanigans haven't ceased in the city that never sleeps, as a new group finds they must step up and don the proton packs in the originator's absence.
  
Will the new Ghostbusters be able to rescue their predecessors, or will they share the same fat?

BEDLAM #4 -- IMAGE'S DARK LOOK AT THE PSYCHE OF A MASKED MURDERER CONTINUES
Man, I can't praise BEDLAM enough. This book is really the cream of the crop when it comes to killer new IMAGE series, and it just gets better and better with this week's issue #4.
  
BEDLAM is a truly macabre series that really manages to blend the realms of psychological horror, superhero arch-type exploration, and crime thriller into one awesome package.
  
Imagine if THE JOKER found himself going through the same kind of reprogramming that Alex did in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. That sums up the feel and tone of the series very well.
  
What's it about? Meet Fillmore Press, who was once known as Madder Red, a homicidal maniac and criminal overlord who terrorized the small town of BEDLAM for years. 
  
Then one day: he got better. This is what happens next. A blood-soaked cityscape of murder, mayhem, and mystery from MORNING GLORIES scribe NICK SPENCER and artist RILEY ROSSMO.
  
Wanna get caught up? We've got issues 1-3 in stock now to catch you up to this week's #4.

MARVEL NOW: SECRET AVENGERS #1 -- AGENT  COULSON of THE AVENGERS and other MARVEL Cinematic Universe offerings is introduced into the world of comics in a starring role with this new series!
FROM THE WRITER OF BEDLAM!
Folks, we are freakin' PUMPED about this one. I mean, first off: NICK SPENCER. The writer of MORNING GLORIES, BEDLAM, and so many other great series is penning this, and you know what that means: it's gonna be a smart, clever, layered story with strong dialogue and tons of great cliffhanger endings.
  
I mean, that's reason enough to be excited, but wait, there's more: it's starring AGENT COULSON, who you guys may know as the fan-favorite SHIELD Agent who acted as Nick Fury's right-hand man in the AVENGERS film, as well as other Marvel movies. 
  
On top of all that, it's also the first time we're getting to see the new Nick Fury in action, after the events of BATTLESCARS (available now in trade paperback, which details the passing of the torch from Nick Fury to Sgt. Marcus Johnson), and filling the role that his father, Nick Fury, once filled.
  
In SECRET AVENGERS, the most dangerous secrets we have... are the ones we keep from ourselves. The new Nick Fury leads a covert Avengers strike team made up of HAWKEYE, THE BLACK WIDOW, THE HULK, THE WINTER SOLDIER, MARIA HILL and PHIL COULSON on missions so dangerous and clandestine, that even the team members themselves can't know about them. 
  
Capturing a great tone of espionage, paranoia, and all around black ops awesomeness, SECRET AVENGERS is a grim, and gritty exploration into the underbelly of the MARVEL UNIVERSE. 
  
And, it features Phil Coulson and his Captain America trading cards, which we think is pretty darn cool.
  
Jump on board this Wednesday with SECRET AVENGERS #1!

DARK HORSE'S RED HOT NEW STAR WARS SERIES CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY WITH STAR WARS #2 IN THIS AWESOME REVISITING OF THE CLASSIC TRILOGY WITH ALL NEW STORIES!
Issue #1 is IN STOCK and AVAILABLE!
Dude! The new STAR WARS comic is INCREDIBLE, it totally blew us all away last month with the debut first issue, and we are stoked to see #2 dropping this Wednesday.
  
This, Third Eye Faithful, is STAR WARS as you remember it... and as you have never seen it before! 
  
Brian Wood, the writer of Third Eye favorites MARA, THE MASSIVE, DMZ, and many others, takes us back to those heady, adventure-filled days following the destruction of the DEATH STAR -- when the Empire ruled, Rebels were on the run, and the galaxy was a dangerous place where anything might happen. 
  
Classic era, classic characters, all new stories.. this is an incredible expanded universe look at the world of the STAR WARS galaxy in between EPISODE IV and EPISODE V, and we're loving every second of it.
  
In this week's issue #2, a cagey young Imperial officer seems to anticipate the Rebels' every move, so Princess Leia forms a "stealth squadron" -- including Luke Skywalker -- to expose a suspected spy within their ranks.
  
Meanwhile, Han Solo and Chewbacca run afoul of bounty hunter Boba Fett, and the Emperor sends Darth Vader on a top secret mission. 
  
Folks: trust us, this book is a must-read, and will end up ranking right up there with the Thrawn Trilogy and more as MUST-READ STAR WARS stuff.
  
Wanna get caught up? We've got plenty of issue 1 in stock now to get you up to this week's #2.

WALKING DEAD #107 - HOW MUCH MORE CAN RICK TAKE?
This is one book that we cannot write-up, Third Eye Faithful. Why? 'Cause it's so spoiler-sensitive, that nearly anything we say is going to give awesome stuff away.
  
Just trust us: read WALKING DEAD #107 as soon as you can on Wednesday, and avoid all spoilers!
  
As always, another magnificent issue of one of the best damn comics on the stands. 
  
Not reading WALKING DEAD yet? We've got a multitude of different ways you can get on board with this killer series, whether it's the compendiums, the individual trades, or the hardcovers.
  
All caught up on the graphic novels and want to hop onto the singles? We've got all the recent back issues to issue 97 to get you caught up to current. Compendium 2 leaves off at issue 97, so you'd need 97-107, and volume 17 leaves off at issue 102, so you'd need 103-107.
  
Either way: GET INTO IT. This series never fails to impress us.

CABLE AND X-FORCE #4 -- THE TURNING POINT THAT MAKES CABLE AND THE X-FORCE CRIMINALS. DOES THEIR ALLEGIANCE LIE WITH CYCLOPS AND HIS UNCANNY X-MEN?
CABLE AND X-FORCE has been a kick-ass, rock-n-roll kinda X-BOOK that does not let up, and we're loving it more and more with each issue.
 
This week's issue #4 shows us the horrible massacre that ends up making Cable and X-Force criminals in the eyes of the law, and also, plays into some interesting theories as to where their allegiance will fall with Cyclops and his new UNCANNY X-MEN.
 
Whatever happens here... they will not be able to go back, and we're really excited to see the direction that's taken.
 
Featuring AVENGERS ARENA writer DENNIS HOPELESS, who many of you may have had the chance to meet last month at our ANSWER #1 signing, and with art by modern legend SALVADOR LARROCA, CABLE AND THE X-FORCE is a must-read in the MARVEL NOW, Third Eye Faithful.
 
Wanna get caught up? We've got issues 1-3 in stock now to catch you up to this week's #4.

 SUICIDE SQUAD VOL.2 BASILISK RISING COLLECTS THE SECOND VOLUME OF THIS KILLER NEW 52 SERIES STARRING HARLEY QUINN!
One of our highlights in the DC NEW 52 has been the new SUICIDE SQUAD series, which features some of our favorite DC bad guys beating up even badder guys. 
  
I mean, how can you go wrong with characters like DEADSHOT and HARLEY QUINN composing the team roster?
  
In this week's SUICIDE SQUAD VOL.2, the team tries to recover from their disastrous Gotham City mission, while a traitor stalks the squad. 
  
And, his mission: assassinate Amanda Waller, expose the Suicide Squad, and leave Task Fore X in ruins.
  
Of course, we get tons of awesome HARLEY QUINN kick-assery as well!
  
Collecting issues 8-13, #0, and the tie-in issue of RESURRECTION MAN #9, SUICIDE SQUAD VOL.2 BASILISK RISING is a must for anyone snagging the DC NEW 52 in trade paperback form.

BONGO COMICS, publishers of the excellent FUTURAMA, SPONGEBOB, and SIMPSONS comics, TEAM UP WITH COLDPLAY to release the comic MYLO XYLOTO.
  
You know.. my frame of reference when it comes to most popular music from the last 10 years is kind of off. But, I think Coldplay is actually pretty good in comparison to most other stuff that's made it's way onto radio stations in the last decade. I mean, they reused a Kraftwerk progression in one of their songs, so that's gotta count for something awesome, right? 
 
Seriously though, what drew our attention to this is it's being put out by Bongo! Comics, who've done such a great job with stuff like THE SIMPSONS, FUTURAMA, and SPONGEBOB, so when they were venturing into doing something based off Coldplay's most recent album.. we thought was pretty interesteing.
 
What's the scoop? Every album begins with the germ of an idea, every song tells a story, and now it is finally revealed that there is a secret otherworldly narrative behind Coldplay's album: Mylo Xyloto.
  
Three years ago, Coldplay teamed up with Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda) to create Mylo's epic story that has gone on to inspire a rack of chart-topping songs. 
  
Now, the full story unfolds in this 6-issue miniseries from Bongo! Comics and the members of Coldplay.

CHICKENHARE VOL.1 FROM SCHOLASTIC DELIVERS AN AWESOME NEW ALL-AGES READ FOR FANS OF "THE AMULET", "CARDBOARD", "BONE" & "STUFF OF LEGEND"
  
 
We love the stuff that Scholastic's GRAPHIX line puts out, which is a great mix of all ages titles that truly appeal to both young and old fans alike. 
 
Chickenhare: half chicken, half rabbit, 100% hero. What's a Chickenhare? A cross between a chicken an a rabbit, of course. And that makes Chickenhare the rarest animal around. 
 
So, when he and his turtle friend Abe are captured and sold to the evil taxidermist Klaus, they've got to find a way to escape before Klaus turns them into stuffed animals. With the help of two other strange creatures, Banjo and Meg, they might even get away.
 
But with Klaus and his thugs hot on their trail, the adventure is only just beginning for this unlikely quartet of friends.
 
A great blend of humor and adventure, with some incredible artwork to match, this is a must for those of you who dig stuff like STUFF OF LEGEND, THE AMULET, BONE, and CARDBOARD.
 
Snag one this Wednesday for yourself, or another fan in your life.

With the Earth government racing to reclaim the ship, and an army of Necromorphs wreaking havoc on board, do the miners have any hope in surviving?
 
Meanwhile, in DEAD SPACE LIBERATION, this prequel to DEAD SPACE 2 is a stunningly illustrated, fast-paced novel, revealing even greater secrets of the power of the Markers and their threat to the human race.

POWERS: BUREAU #1 PROVIDES A GREAT JUMPING ON POINT FOR A LONG-TIME THIRD EYE FAVORITE, WITH ALL NEW X-MEN Writer BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS'S GRITTY, REALISTIC LOOK AT A WORLD WHERE RETIRED SUPERHEROES BECOME LAW ENFORCEMENT.
  
We're huge fans of writer BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS here at Third Eye, especially with his recent work on ALL NEW X-MEN, but one of our favorites from him for quite some time has been the creator-owned series POWERS.
 
This compelling look at a world where superpowers are made illegal, and those using them either retire, or enlist with government agencies, is a mature, and often dark look at what would happen if the capes and tights were real.
 
In POWERS BUREAU, a new era begins, as this new reader-friendly jumping on point kicks off with Deena Pilgrim finding herself in the big leagues.
 
Now a federal agent, and dealing with the biggest powers cases in the entire country, Deena is hoping this new life will close the closet full of skeletons she carries with her.
 
And ,where does her former police officer partner Walker fit into all of this?
 
Give POWERS: BUREAU a try this Wednesday if you've never read the series, and then if you dig it, we can get you caught up with the older POWERS series in trade paperback.

In this hardcover, evil spreads across Gotham City as Batman's allies, including Red Robin, Batwing, Batgirl, the Birds of Prey, Nightwing and even Catwoman find themselves in a battle coming from all sides. 
 
The Court of Owls isn't too happy with Batman defeating their champion: Talon, and now, they're unleashing their fury on ALL of Gotham City in this sprawling tale of corruption and violence.
 
Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo's first arc, THE COURT OF OWLS, which was collected in BATMAN VOL.1 (issues 1-7) was a MUST-READ, and totally captivated us from start to finish, setting the standard high for BATMAN graphic novels.
 
Now, the follow-up by Snyder and Capullo arrives this Wednesday, and we could not be more stoked to see what you guys think about the all-out-war that the NIGHT OF THE OWLS brought.

AVENGERS & NEW AVENGERS writer JONATHAN HICKMAN continues to impress with THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS this Wednesday in MANHATTAN PROJECTS #9
  
If you're like us, then you're probably pretty keen on the stuff Jonathan Hickman has been doing on AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS, so why not try his already incredible IMAGE series that's been wowing so many of us since issue #1? 
 
MANHATTAN PROJECTS is a MUST-READ, Third Eye Faithful, and many of you, are already on top of this great book.

In this week's issue #9, everything clicks into place as we learn about the competing plans of Oppenheimer, Groves, Einstein and von Braun for world domination. 
 
The thrilling FEEL GOOD, BAD SCIENCE continues in MANHATTAN PROJECTS this Wednesday, and we're loving it.
 
What's MANHATTAN PROJECTS all about? One simple question: what if the research and development department created to produce the first atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual programs? 
 
Featuring a sci-fi plot that weaves real historical figures into the story as effortlessly as can be, MANHATTAN PROJECTS is a must for fans of series like PLANETARY, TORCHWOOD / DOCTOR WHO, THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN and more.

STAFF PICKS  
STEVE: ALL NEW X-MEN #7 - This book is a MONSTER! It does not slow down one second; still loving it to death!

TRISH: CALIGULA HEART OF ROME #3 - AVATAR Press never fails to deliver some horrifying comics! But, you know, in a good way.

TORMA: FEARLESS DEFENDERS #1  - This book really surprised me. Misty Knight and Valkyrie are two characters I normally don't follow, but Cullen Bunn does an amazing job of making me love 'em. It's a fast paced action-filled romp through the Marvel Universe. Viking music boxes of death? Check! Viking Zombies? Check! Tons of action packed pages! DOUBLE CHECK! This is one you don't want to miss.

SHAUN: SNAPSHOT #1 - This book gives me chills. What if you're caught up in something terrible, and even the people who are supposed to help you don't believe you? Great crime thriller, and who doesn't love JOCK's art?

RYAN: FEARLESS DEFENDERS #1 - Cullen Bunn has done it again! This series is absolutely amazing! Valkyrie and Misty Knight teamed together couldn't be any better. I recommend this for all Thor and Deadpool fans.

JOHN: SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #3 - This is by far the best issue of the series so far! If you're not reading this series you're really missing out.

MATT: SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #3 -My favorite issue yet! Awesome!

LEXI: ADVENTURE TIME FIONNA & CAKE #2 - The ADVENTURE TIME comics are always awesome but this one's the best!
