This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 2/19/14

MARVEL NOW WAVE 2: The NEW WARRIORS return in an all-new series from Scarlet Spider writer CHRIS YOST with this week's NEW WARRIORS #1
Man, Marvel has been absolutely killing it with all the new MARVEL NOW books that've been hitting in their 2nd wave this year, and this week's NEW WARRIORS #1 is no exception: it's incredible!

In NEW WARRIORS #1, classic '90s New Warriors founders Speedball and Justice have come together with a group of young heroes including the new Nova, Sun Girl, Hummingbird, and our personal favorite: SCARLET SPIDER, to stop the latest threat to the Marvel Universe: the Atlanteans, Inhumans, clones, and hundreds of other so-called "superior" beings are living among the humans of the Marvel Universe, but not everyone is pleased about it.

The High Evolutionary has raised an army to combat the evolution of humanity -- and the New Warriors are locked in his sights.

Written by Chris Yost, who did amazing things with the former SCARLET SPIDER series, this is gonna be one of the biggest surprises of the Marvel NOW, folks. Yost is one heck of a writer, and if anyone gets these characters, it's him.

Make sure you snag a copy this week at Third Eye & check it out!

THE WHITE SUITS #1 ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY, BRINGING THE RUSSIAN UNDERWORLD OF THE COLD WAR INTO MODERN DAY NEW YORK!
From the writer of FIVE GHOSTS!
Meet the creators FRANK J. BARBIERE & TOBY CYPRESS this Saturday at Third Eye!
We're huge fans of Frank's killer IMAGE series FIVE GHOSTS, so when we saw he had something new coming out with the incredibly talented Toby Cypress of BLUE ESTATE, we knew we had to do something special for it.

In WHITE SUITS, mysterious killers dressed in white who have a history of savaging the Cold War-era Russian underworld, then disappearing -- are now back in New York, and leaving a trail of dead mobsters in their wake.

In this bloody tale, an amnesiac and an FBI agent  search for the answer to a single question: Who are the White Suits?

A gorgeously illustrated noir in the spirit of SIN CITY, CRIMINAL, FATALE, and films like EASTERN PROMISES, the WHITE SUITS is a must-read.

Meet the creators this Saturday at Third Eye Annapolis!

Loving LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD or YOUNG AVENGERS? Read where it all began with JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY by KIERON GILLEN COMPLETE COLLECTION TP!
One of the best new comics of the last decade!

One of the best new titles of the last few years, Journey into Mystery by KIERON GILLEN is a real masterpiece of modern comics.

The series reads more like a Vertigo title ala THE SANDMAN than it does a traditional Thor-centric Marvel title, and the things that were done with Loki in this series are downright incredible.

All the cool stuff going down in YOUNG AVENGERS and now LOKI AGENT OF ASGARD have their roots in this epic run, and now, the entire thing is collected in one massive tome of awesome from Marvel.

In JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY, Loki has been reborn as a child, but will he be Asgard's savior?

In the shadows of Fear Itself, and the threat of the Serpent, the mortals' only hope is that Thor can fulfill an ancient prophecy, but the plan is doomed to fail without the help from young Loki.

The former Lord of Lies' only chance of success is to use all the skills of deceit that made him so hated in his past life.

But, will the reborn gosling find redemption -- or damn himself further?

And, in the war's aftermath, Nightmare is gathering enough energy to rule the world -- and the mother lode is inside Loki's mind.

Aided by an undead handmaiden and a demon puppy, Loki will risk everything on a scheme so crazy, it could only have been hatched by the God of Mischief.

Combining epic quest-driven storytelling ala SANDMAN, with an insanely detailed eye for character development, Journey Into Mystery takes everything you've ever loved about the character in his film presentations and incorporates it into the comics in a way that's smart, and fun.

Snag yourself a copy this week, Third Eye Faithful!

And, then MORE Loki (but not that Loki) in this week's LOKI: RAGNAROK & ROLL #1
Meet artists JERRY & PENELOPE GAYLORD at Third Eye Annapolis on Saturday 3/8/14
We're super stoked about this killer new BOOM STUDIOS series that features art from FANBOYS VS. ZOMBIES team JERRY & PENELOPE GAYLORD.

In LOKI RAGNAROK & ROLL, Loki steps out of the shadow cast by his thunderous brother as Norse mythology crosses over with the only thing on Earth as wild and crazy: rock n roll.

When Odin banishes Loki to Earth, he finds a world of outcasts that appreciate his style -- while his brother may swing a hammer, Loki's picking up the electric guitar, and building a whole new kind of following.

A must-read for fans of things like the video game BRUTAL LEGEND, and the Adult Swim series METALOCALYPSE, Loki RAGNAROK & ROLL is a blast!

Meet LOKI artists JERRY & PENELOPE GAYLORD at Third Eye Annapolis on Saturday 3/8/14!

THE TOTALLY FUN, TOTALLY AWESOME NEW HARLEY QUINN ONGOING SERIES CONTINUES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S HARLEY QUINN #3

We are loving the new Harley series, which channels the fun and energy of Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's original treatment of the character in BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, but with a modern twist.

This week's issue #3 brings us a slightly late Valentines Day surprise as Harley finds herself getting depressed watching the happy couples enjoy the holiday.

Will a special gift from Poison Ivy turn things around for Harley?

Wanna get caught up on the series? We've got issues #0-#2 in stock now to get you up to speed to this week's #3.

Marvel Now Wave 2's THE PUNISHER continues to be awesome with this week's PUNISHER #2
Written by the man behind the current BLACK WIDOW series, which has been rocking, and illustrated by the super talented Mitch Gerads, the new Punisher series is freakin' great.

In this week's issue #2, the City of Angels is about to get hit with something it's never been faced with before: the Punisher.

A lead on a major source of guns and drugs finds the Punisher hot on the tail of the Dos Soles gang.

But, when he finds himself in the crosshairs of dozens of armed thugs -- they'll find the Punisher isn't so easily dispatched.

Now, with the help of some very unlikely allies (including a coyote), the stage is set for Frank to wage his war on crime on the streets of L.A -- if he lives that long.

We can't forget that some of the Marvel Universe's biggest villains happen to call L.A their home -- and you won't believe whose toes Frank has just stepped on.

Gritty, brutal, and unrelenting, the new Punisher series is a must-read, Third Eye Faithful, which channels the classic all out war energy of PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL, but with a modern spin.

Wanna hop on? We've got issue 1 in stock now to catch you up to this week's #2.

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP #10FEATURES A SPECIAL TIE-IN TO GOBLIN NATION THIS WEDNESDAY!
Third Eye Faithful: how great was last week's SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #26, featuring the epic kick off to GOBLIN NATION?

We loved it -- and the tense showdown between Ock and Norman was incredible.

Now, we're hungry for more, and Marvel's serving up more awesomeness in this special tie-in issue of SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP.

An all-out gang war with Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Punisher caught in the middle erupts, and the city of New York becomes Goblin territory in a big way.

IMAGE COMICS DEBUTS A SHOCKINGLY AWESOME SCI-FI PULP MASTERPIECE IN THE SPIRIT OF HELLBOY & SWAMP THING WITH UNDERTOW #1 THIS WEDNESDAY!
UNDERTOW looks super rad. Amongst the new IMAGE titles dropping this winter, this one really caught our eye.

In UNDERTOW, Atlantis is the world superpower, and Redum Anshargal is its worst enemy.

If you want to break free of the system, he can offer you a place at his side, exploring the wild surface world in his watertight city barge the Deliverer.

He and his hostage-protege Ukinnu Alal hunt the Amphibian, a legend that could be the key to an air-breathing life on land.

But, as they become the hunted, can Anshargal's team survive long enough to turn the tables on the godlike beast they set out for?

This brand new pulp monster adventure with Ray Harryhausen films and comics like HELLBOY at its heart shows you a look at Altantis like you've never seen before.

Do not sleep on this one this week, Third Eye Faithful!

Oh my god, I cannot tell you guys how much I love the series ZERO, and the incredible story that writer Ales Kot has been unfolding with the help of all star artists like TRADD MOORE, JORDIE BELLAIRE, and others.

IMAGE HIT ALEX + ADA #4 ARRIVES THIS WEEK, FROM "THE SWORD" & "GIRLS" CREATOR JONATHAN LUNA & "SPARKSHOOTER" CREATOR SARAH VAUGHN
We're loving the heck out of this new IMAGE series that's reminiscent of the manga CHOBITS, but with the more dystopian sci-fi elements of BLADE RUNNER or any other Philip K. Dick novel of your choosing.

In ALEX + ADA, it's the near future, where technology has progressed in a very believable way, and when a man named Alex finds himself in possession of an X5, the latest in realistic androids, he's not sure what to do.

Will this new, life-like android companion enhance Alex's life, or will it destroy it? And, what of Ada, and her own future?

From the man who brought you the DEADPOOL KILLOGY (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Deadpool Killustrated, and Deadpool Kills Deadpool) comes the NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEADPOOL, an all new chapter of absurdity in the Merc with a Mouth's career -- and we're loving it!

In this week's #3, see the hideous, rotting-fleshed monster shambling about the landscape -- and, oh, there's zombies shambling behind him!

THIRD EYE FAVORITE IMAGE SERIES REVIVAL CONTINUES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S REVIVAL VOL.3 A FARAWAY PLACE TRADE PAPERBACK, COLLECTING ISSUES 12-17 of the killer series!
One of our favorite series, REVIVAL is an incredible piece of work, and one of the best darn IMAGE titles on the stands. It ranks up there with books like SAGA, WALKING DEAD, EAST OF WEST, and more as a consistently quality reading experience.

What's it about? For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now, the living and the recently returned struggle to maintain a sense of normalcy amidst political and religious conflicts.

Officer Dana Cypress is hot on the trail of a man she believes may have murdered her sister Em, but Em herself is on a quest through the snowy woods to find the strange glowing creature that haunts a child.

One part Coen Brothers movie ala FARGO or NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, and one part supernatural horror in the vei of THE EXORCIST, REVIVAL is an incredible piece of comic book goodness that grabs a hold of you and does not let go.

Wanna get into it? We've got volume 1 and 2 of the graphic novels in stock now to get you on board this great series.
