This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 1/29/14

JOSS WHEDON'S SERENITY RETURNS IN AN ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES, WITH SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND #1 THIS WEEK
OK, so it's no surprise to many of you that we're all huge, huge, huge fans of Joss Whedon's incredible FIREFLY series, and the comics that've spun out of it.
So, obviously, when we saw that the brand new Dark Horse SERENITY ongoing series was kicking off this week -- we knew we had to give it mad love, and tell you guys why this is a must-read for anyone who's as in love with the series as we are.
Written by Joss & Zack Whedon, with art by BUFFY SEASON 8 artist GEORGES JEANTY, SERENITY: LEAVES ON THE WIND kicks off the first arc in the all-new, ongoing SERENITY series that explores the world of SERENITY in an official, in-continuity capacity.
Malcom Reynold's crew shook the 'verse to its core when they laid bare the crimes against humanity undertaken by their sinister government -- the Alliance.
Always outlaws, Mal, a very pregnant Zoe, new pilot River Tam, and the other surviving crew members are in greater danger than ever.
Meanwhile, everyone is asking the same question...

RICK REMENDER'S INCREDIBLE NEW IMAGE SERIES, BLACK SCIENCE, CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY! 
A MUST-READ, CATCH UP WITH ISSUES 1-3 (all in stock) THIS WEEK!
We are so in love with nearly every facet of the incredible new IMAGE ongoing series, BLACK SCIENCE, from the out-of-this-world story by RICK REMENDER to the jaw-dropping artwork of MATTEO SCALERA and colorist DEAN WHITE.
The whole package is just downright impressive, and as we get into issue #3 here, we're seeing no signs of this stellar book slowing down.
In issue #3, shell-shocked and battered, Grant McKay and his team are stranded on the front lines of the European savages' final standoff against the Sons of the Wakan Tech-Tanka.
Will this inverse manifest destiny claim the life of a member of the Anarchist League of Scientists? Or will they be betrayed by one of their own?
BLACK SCIENCE is the modern-day channeling of every horror-charged EC Comics Weird Science tale you can think of -- imagine Wally Wood by way of Ridley Scott, and that helps sum up the tone and feel that Remender, Scalera & White bring to BLACK SCIENCE.
Focusing on a "mad scientist", who defies the traditional institutes of learning, and ventures into the great unknown -- which results in him, his team, and his two sons being zapped from planet to planet, BLACK SCIENCE plays out like some horrifying, dark twist on the Johnny Quest arch-types, and we love every second of it.
Great art, great storytelling.
A top shelf IMAGE series, and we do still have 1st printings of issues 1 & 2 in stock (and as always, only cover price!)
to catch you up to this week's issue #3.

Continuing from the pages of last week's ALL NEW X-MEN #22.NOW, Guardians of the Galaxy #11.NOW continues the incredible new TRIAL OF JEAN GREY storyline, and we are totally pumped to see how this one plans out!
The Guardians of the Galaxy get a reminder of Earth when they cross paths with the ALL NEW X-MEN during the Trial of Jean Grey!
When an alien race discovers that the original Jean Grey is back on Earth, they decide to hold her accountable for the acts of the Dark Phoenix, and it's up to the Guardians of the Galaxy to help the X-Men prevent that trial from going down.

THE KILLER MANGA DEADMAN WONDERLAND VOL.1 GETS AN OFFICIAL NEW RELEASE, BEGINNING THIS WEEK! A MUST-READ!
There's been a bit of a resurgence in the world of Manga lately, with a ton of incredible series either getting reissued, or brought over for the first time, and we're pumped to see the incredible series, DEADMAN WONDERLAND, getting a proper release from VIZ.
Framed for the brutal murders of his classmates by the mysterious Red Man, middle school student Ganta Igarashi finds himself sentenced t death and sent to the bizarre and fatal theme park / prison that has risen from the ruins of the Great Tokyo Earthquake -- a hell on earth known as "DEADMAN WONDERLAND."
The inmates of this insane penitentiary fight for survival every day to provide entertainment for the masses, and terrifying secrets lurk in the shadows.
Ganta is determined to survive DEADMAN WONDERLAND and clear his name, but the price may be his soul..
If you dig mantas like BERSERK, DEATH NOTE, and ATTACK ON TITAN, we think you'll love DEADMAN WONDERLAND.

ALAN MOORE & NEIL GAIMAN'S INCREDIBLE CLASSIC, MIRACLEMAN, CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY WITH MIRACLEMAN #2
KIMOTA! And, with one magic word, a long-forgotten legend lives again!
Third Eye Faithful, we told you a few weeks ago just how important MIRACLEMAN is, and how this incredibly dark, and realistic take on the world of superheroes is one of the best pieces of comic goodness ever, right?
Well, now we're going to tell you those things all over again: 'cause damn, MIRACLEMAN is epic.
As freelance reporter Michael Moran finds himself subject to a very strange series of events, he realizes he's on the path to reclaim his destiny.
A must-read for fans of series like Mark Waid's IRREDEEMABLE, Garth Ennis's the BOYS, Mark Millar's SUPERMAN RED SON, and other tales where iconic superhero arch-types are deconstructed and re-imagined, MIRACLEMAN is one of the best examples of that, and the template for which many have followed.
Written by the legend himself, ALAN MOORE, the man behind hits like WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, and more, and then later, featuring collaboration by THE SANDMAN and AMERICAN GODS scribe's NEIL GAIMAN, Miracleman is the cream of the crop when it comes to raw, pure comic energy.
Wanna catch up? We've got issue 1 in stock now to get you current.

INHUMANITY CONTINUES THIS WEEK WITH MATT FRACTION'S (HAWKEYE, SEX CRIMINAL)  INHUMANITY #2 -- AS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE CHANGES IN A DRASTIC WAY!
We loved the first issue of this Marvel winter event, which leads into all the big stuff happening in 2014 for the Marvel U, and cannot wait to see what transpires in this week's INHUMANITY #2.
After witnessing the shocking death of KARNAK, we're taken into a different direction, as new Inhumans are born all across the Earth.
The Inhuman Queen herself, MEDUSA, finds her kingdom destroyed, her king dead, and her people's population increasing by the day.
Now, everything is different -- and she has to pick up the pieces.
INHUMAN is the follow-up to last Summer's INFINITY storyline, and is doing an excellent job of setting up all the major points of the Marvel Universe for 2014. A must-read, with top talent in both the writing and art department, we recommend snagging 1 & 2 if you haven't already.
We've got issue #1, plus all the INHUMANITY tie-ins, in stock to catch you up.

THE ALTERNATE TAKE ON DAMIAN WAYNE CONTINUES IN DAMIAN: SON OF BATMAN #4 THIS WEDNESDAY
It's been so awesome getting to see Damian in comics again, and this week's DAMIAN SON OF BATMAN #4 continues the Elseworlds-style mini-series, where Batman's son lives, and the Dark Knight dies.
Will the devastating events of Damian Wayne's life push this troubled hero over the edge and send him straight into the abyss?
Will he cross the lines his father never did?
This week's finale issue shows us a future where Damian Wayne has taken on the mantle of his father as Batman, and we're loving every second of it.

SAGA #18 -- Third Eye's favorite monthly title continues to keep us hooked -- get it!
OK, every month, we rant and we rave about how SAGA is such an incredible book -- and you know what: we're not stopping anytime soon. Seriously: this is what good comics are made of, Third Eye Faithful.
In this week's issue #18, our heroes' stay on Quietus reaches the conclusion we all knew was coming.
For those of you who've not yet had the pleasure of discovering one of the best damn comics on the stands, allow us to give you the full scoop: SAGA is if you took Y: THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN, the incredible art of FIONA STAPLES, and the worlds of FIREFLY, GAME OF THRONES, and STAR WARS, and threw them all together in a blender to make an amazing piece of comic goodness.
This sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds has us hooked. These two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war have fallen in love, risked everything and brought a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe.
Now, fantasy and sci-fi are wed like never before in this critically-acclaimed sexy, subversive drama for adults.
Folks: don't miss out on this magic. GET INTO SAGA!

THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE SAGA OF CARNAGE GRAPHIC NOVELS ARRIVES, WITH SUPERIOR CARNAGE TPB THIS WEEK
Locked away in an asylum, Carnage may finally be gone for good -- but his fellow inmates have other plans.

After performing unspeakable acts in the name of science, the Wizard releases Carnage into the world as his personal agent of evil.
But, can the new Frightful Four control its latest member?
And, of course, there's the big draw here: SUPERIOR CARNAGE vs. SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN.

THE TOLL OF CELEBRITY TAKES A NEW HERO DOWN A DARK PATH IN THE NEW DARK HORSE MINI-SERIES "FURIOUS" THIS WEDNESDAY
Here's a new one that really caught our eye, and we can't wait to sit down and read all the way through this week.
Staring into a fractured mirror of her life, the world's first superhero, Furious, seeks to atone for her past sins by doling out rage-fueled justice.
But, the spotlight of our celebrity-obsessed media threatens to undo her noblest efforts and expose her true identity before she can even come close to redemption.
A pretty neat take on superheroes in the real world, FURIOUS looks like a lot of fun.

JONATHAN HICKMAN'S EPIC, DYSTOPIAN SCI-FI WESTERN CONTINUES IN EAST OF WEST #9 THIS WEDNESDAY

What's EAST OF WEST, and why do we love it so much? One part BLADE RUNNER, one part DARK TOWER, this dystopian sci-fi epic has had us hooked since issue #1, and continues to keep us on the edge of our seats.

DC'S SLEEPER HIT, EARTH 2, UNVEILS THE ORIGIN OF THE EARTH-2 BATMAN IN THIS WEDNESDAY'S EARTH-2 ANNUAL #2
As some of you know, EARTH-2 took a new direction when writer TOM TAYLOR (INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US) came on board, and ever since his run began in issue #17, the series has quickly turned into one of the top must-reads for DC's NEW 52.
Focusing on an alternate Earth where Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman die -- literally, right off the bat, and then only later, do we discover that Superman has actually been turned into a herald of DARKSEID, and Batman has been replaced, EARTH-2 literally takes every "Wouldn't it be cool.." scenario you can think of and brings it to life.
Now, in this week's EARTH 2 ANNUAL #2, the origin of EARTH-2's new BATMAN is revealed -- and after he tells his tale, will he be trusted by anyone again?

ATTACK ON TITAN CONTINUES IN THIS WEDNESDAY'S ATTACK ON TITAN VOL.11

But, this momentary victory forces two more traitors into a corner -- and the identity of the Titans who have been destroying the walls is revealed!
What can Eren do against the two most dangerous monsters humanity has ever faced?
And, who else may be an enemy in disguise?
Imagine WALKING DEAD with crazed giants, and that sums up ATTACK ON TITAN well.
A survival horror series where the world has been overrun with giant beasts, and all of civilization resides in a three-walled city, with every day counting as survival.
