MARVEL NOW WAVE 2: SILVER SURFER #1 by SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN writer DAN SLOTT & INDIE LEGEND MIKE ALLRED arrives this Wednesday featuring a THIRD EYE COMICS EXCLUSIVE variant by THANOS creator JIM STARLIN!
Third Eye Faithful, there's a TON of great new comics being launched this year from Marvel as part of their big MARVEL NOW Wave 2 initiative, and I gotta say: the good has definitely outweighed the bad!
So many great new reads -- but, I gotta tell you: SILVER SURFER is one you cannot miss.
This is going to be one of THE books to read as part of the big Marvel NOW Wave 2 line-up.
Alongside another favorite of our's, the recent ALL NEW GHOST RIDER, and of course, the killer MOON KNIGHT, the new SILVER SURFER looks to be the first real chance that this fan-favorite character has at really becoming a major player in the Marvel U, and we're stoked.
With writer DAN SLOTT (the man behind SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN) and the dynamo art team of Mike & Laura Allred, Silver Surfer is the perfect blend of cutting-edge modern comic storytelling with a timeless pop art sensibility that harkens back to the early beginnings of Marvel Comics.
In SILVER SURFER, we see first-hand: the universe is big. Bigger than you could ever imagine. And the SILVER SURFER, the lone sentinel of the skyways, is about to discover that the best way to see it... is with someone else at your side.
Meet the Earth girl who's challenged the Surfer to go beyond the boundaries of the known Marvel U -- into the strange, the new, and the utterly fantastic.
This book is so freakin' good -- one part DOCTOR WHO ala 10th and 11th Doctor, one part Jack Kirby-era Marvel, SILVER SURFER is a fun, unique, fresh, and innovative spin on the Marvel U that grabs a hold of you and does not let go.
Heck, we liked it so much that we did a special edition THIRD EYE COMICS exclusive cover of SILVER SURFER #1 by the man known for defining the Cosmic end of the Marvel Universe: JIM STARLIN.
Make sure you snag yourself a copy this week at Third Eye!

THIRD EYE FAVORITE, RAT QUEENS VOL.1 SASS & SORCERY ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY! A MUST FOR FANS OF SAGA, SKULLKICKERS & MORE!
Only $9.99!
Imagine HBO's GIRLS meets LORD OF THE RINGS!
One of our favorite new IMAGE series to debut last year was the incredible sword-and-sorcery comedy RAT QUEENS, which reads like one part HBO's GIRLS and one part DUNGEONS & DRAGONS.
From PETER PANZERFAUST scribe KURTIS J. WIEBE, this killer ongoing series combines bitting humor with ultra-violent adventure and mayhem to make for one heck of a good read.
Who are the Rat Queens? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all god's creatures for profit.
It's also a darkly comedic sass-and-sorcery series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric, and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief.
This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that's reminiscent of Joss Whedon's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, the high fantasy seen in SAGA, the raunch of TANK GIRL, and the epic scale of LORD OF THE RINGS... on a drunken bender.
Get the first volume for only $9.99 this week at Third Eye, and find out why we love it so much!

THE PENULTIMATE ISSUE OF SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN ARRIVES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #30 -- THE ROAD TO AMAZING SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
GOBLIN NATION has been a real ass-kicker of a storyline, and we've been digging every single second of it all the way through.
So, with only 2 chapters of GOBLIN NATION remaining, and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 right around the corner... we're more than a little anxious to find out the fate of our favorite Spidey in ages: the Superior Spider-Man.
Ever since the start of the iconic DYING WISH storyline that first kicked off the transition of Ock into Peter's body, it has been all building to this.
One of the most important moments of the entire SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN series goes down in this issue, and once it happens: it cannot be undone.
Folks, trust us: you need to get this book on release day and read it fast -- you're gonna be pumped!
Not reading SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN? One of the best takes on the character in ages, this series shows us how Otto Octavius aka Doc Ock has moved his consciousness into the body of Peter Parker and is now acting AS Spider-Man.
Thing is -- he's Doc Ock, and despite his best intentions, the things he does to try to be a hero, still cast him in a rather villainous light.
We love it -- complex, smart, and funny -- SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN has completely revitalized our love of Spider-Man and the world he inhabits.
Wanna get on board? We've got issues 1-29, or trade paperbacks 1-4, in stock and available now, to catch you up to current.

CHEW VOL.8 FAMILY RECIPES -- Imagine DEXTER meets TOP CHEF -- this sums up our love of the IMAGE series CHEW!
OK, so before we start talking about this latest volume, we should probably enlighten those of you who may not already know the awesomeness of CHEW.
In a world where poultry is illegal and under prohibition due to avian bird flu, and the Food Drug Administration acts as the world's largest police force, the life of Tony Chu is an interesting one.
See, Tony is a Cibopath -- he gets a psychic impression from whatever he eats; an apple? He can smell the pesticides. A hamburger? He sees the slaughterhouse. It's not a pleasant way to live, trust us.
So, Tony, a mild mannered homicide detective, one day finds himself in a situation where he accidentally ingests the remains of a murder victim -- and realizes, he can see every thing that led to their demise.
From there, we've followed Tony's adventures, and we're so hooked, it's ridiculous. Just when we think CHEW has taken things to a new level -- they top themselves again.
In volume 8, Anthony and Antonelle Chu, fraternal twins, Tony and Toni, each with their own extraordinary, albeit diametrically opposed ability, find themselves in a mess.
See, Toni's dead. She's been murdered, and Tony has vowed to catch her killer.
Toni is going to help... wait, how?
Find out in CHEW VOLUME 8, Third Eye Faithful!
Wanna get started? We've got volumes 1-7 in stock now, and volume 1 is only $9.99!

GARTH ENNIS RETURNS TO CROSSED THIS WEDNESDAY WITH CROSSED #50, KICKING OFF A FRESH NEW STORYLINE!
THE WRITER OF PREACHER DOES SURVIVAL HORROR AT IT'S BEST!
CROSSED is.. quite possibly.. the most disturbing comic we sell. Seriously: it's that intense.
This survival horror saga where a disease that forms a cross-like rash on the infected's face, and turns them into engines of pure destruction is one of the most shocking and revolting survival horror stories we've seen in any medium.
Instead of zombies hungering for brains, these folks aren't undead, but are instead driven to the corner of their brain that's responsible for evil; and that's all they are: pure evil, with intentions to cause as much suffering as possible.
It's a frightening comic, as a good horror comic should be, and we cannot get enough of it.
Now, the originator of CROSSED, writer GARTH ENNIS, returns with CROSSED #50, and begins a brand new storyline.
From the very beginning, everyone has wondered: what started the outbreak? Was it an act of god? Did it begin as a man-made bio-weapon? Is it the final evolution of human kind? Now, after more than five years of horror, Ennis reveals his "Patient Zero" in this seven part epic, showing us the origins of CROSSED.
A must-read, Third Eye Faithful, snag yourself a copy this Wednesday.

We LOVE Deadly Class. This stellar new IMAGE ongoing series is one of the best damn things on the stands, and we cannot wait to read this week's issue #3.
What is DEADLY CLASS? Set in the year of 1987, and loaded with references that those of you who have way too much New Order and Gorilla Biscuits on your playlist will appreciate, DEADLY CLASS is a blend of KILL BILL and the BREAKFAST CLUB.
The sons and daughters of the most ruthless gangsters, yakuza, and assassins have to learn their parents work somewhere, right?
Welcome to high school -- a special high school -- one that trains these kids how to be killers so they can enter the family biz.
But, they're still teenagers, and still have to deal with the things most teenagers have to deal with.
In issue #3, tasked with their first assassination mission, Marcus and Willie roam the sad and lonely streets of San Francisco in the dead of night, stalked by a shadow from Marcus's mysterious past.
Wanna hop on? We've got issues 1 & 2 in stock now to catch you up to current.

NEIL GAIMAN'S SANDMAN: OVERTURE #2 ARRIVES AFTER MUCH ANTICIPATION, AND IT'S TOTALLY WORTH EVERY SECOND OF THE WAIT!
Third Eye Faithful, many of you are fans of SAGA, and you know how SAGA is kind of seen as the comic that everyone loves? Well, before SAGA, it was SANDMAN, and if you've never read Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN... we highly recommend giving it a shot, and picking up those trade paperbacks.
Or, if you'd prefer, you can jump into the prequel series that's running now, SANDMAN OVERTURE, which serves as a great spot to try out the incredible world that Gaiman has crafted with THE SANDMAN.
In SANDMAN OVERTURE #2, the Sandman's epic story continues, as GAIMAN and JH WILLIAMS III (BATWOMAN, PROMETHEA) transform Morpheus through the early ages, and a mysterious figure in white makes his own first appearance.
And, did we mention: THE CORINTHIAN makes a deal -- but it may prove to be a sacrifice he's not able to live with.
Sandman is just plain amazing. There's no way we can even do it justice by going into detail; all we can say is it's one of the best hybrids of horror / fantasy storytelling ever done in any medium, and is an example of what makes comic storytelling so darn amazing.
Never read it? Pick up issue #1 of OVERTURE, and give it a shot.
Wanna get into the original series? We've got SANDMAN volumes 1-10 in stock now to get you on board!

STAR SLAMMERS REMASTERED #1 REVIVES COMIC SUPERSTAR WALT SIMONSON'S SCI-FI EPIC!
A MUST-SEE!
Walter Simonson can honestly be described as a living legend. He pretty much DEFINED Thor for Marvel Comics, and has done amazing work on everything from Batman and the Fantastic Four to Elric and Orion.
So, the fine folks at IDW have went into the vaults, and dug out a hidden gem -- lost to the ages for many years -- and re-colored and remastered to show us just how incredible Walt's art really is.
Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody.
They were paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into business, and they became the most successful businessmen in history.
And, folks, they were called: The Star Slammers.

MARVEL NOW WAVE 2: TRADD MOORE (LUTHER STRODE, ZERO) BLOWS MINDS WITH ALL NEW GHOST RIDER #1 -- ONE OF THE BEST NEW MARVEL BOOKS WE'VE SEEN!
*Quick Heads Up: GHOST RIDER was originally scheduled for last week, but due to a scheduling issue at Marvel & the distributor, the book was rescheduled to this Wednesday*
Third Eye Faithful, I gotta tell ya: I've never been a major Ghost Rider guy. I've always appreciated the character, and really dug the visual aesthetic, but the character and his villains weren't really my thing growing up.
But, with ALL NEW GHOST RIDER -- and a fresh new take, with a fresh new Ghost Rider, I think that's going to change.
Why?
BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST FREAKIN' NEW MARVEL SERIES WE'VE SEEN!
OK, so first of all, you've got artist Tradd Moore, who many of you know from his work on STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE, DEADPOOL, and ZERO.
Tradd goes CRAZY with Ghost Rider, building a new world of characters and vibrant, and exciting moments alongside the very talented writing of Felipe Smith.
This book practically crackles with energy, as every page screams out at you: READ THIS BOOK!
And, it's GOOD!
In ALL NEW GHOST RIDER #1, a street race leads a young man on the fast and furious road of destiny.
Amid an East Los Angeles neighborhood running wild with gang violence and drug trafficking, a war brews in the criminal underworld!
With four on the floor, a new man takes on the mantle of Ghost Rider, and serves host to the demonic spirit of vengeance.
And, it's bloody, crazy, and over-the-top.
I could rant and rave all day about how great the book looks and reads, but instead, I'll just say this: pick it up this week and flip through it -- you'll find yourself unable to resist reading. It's THAT good.
