This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 4/16/14

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #31 CONCLUDES THE INCREDIBLE SERIES.. AND PAVES THE WAY FOR 4/30's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 & the Return of Peter Parker!
For over a year now, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN has climbed it's way up the charts to become the number one most loved Marvel monthly series on the stands, and for good reason: it's a pure treat with every issue.

Dan Slott did what many had tried and failed: he made Spider-Man and his world cool again. And, now, with Peter Parker coming back into the picture, and the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, finding himself on the way out.... we're about to enter an era of Spidey goodness that is going to blow your mind.

With this week's SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #31, the fan-favorite series comes to it's conclusion. The end of an era! A tale of triumph and tragedy! The Green Goblin unmasked! A hero reborn! And, what does all of this mean for OTTO OCTAVIUS?

There's only one man who can save us from the Goblin Nation... Peter Parker: the one, true SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN.

Wanna get into the SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN stuff? We recommend either starting with the trade paperbacks, which we have volumes 1-4 in stock now, or we can catch you up on the back issues, as we have issues 1-30 in stock and available now.

TRANSLUCID #1 -- CLAUDIO SANCHEZ OF COHEED AND CAMBRIA LAUNCHES AN INCREDIBLE NEW COMIC WITH TRANSLUCID #1 this Wednesday!
We know that a ton of you guys, like ourselves, are huge fans of COHEED & CAMBRIA, and even moreso, the awesome comics that frontman Claudio Sanchez produces, like THE AMORY WARS series.

So, we're totally pumped to tell you all about the latest rom Claudio, which turns the superhero trope of the never-ending battle and turns it into a completely different beast.

Translucid is the superhero story you've wanted, but never thought you'd see. It explores the thin line between heroes and villains, and the space between childhood hope and loss.

The Horse has been the arch-enemy of the Navigator for years, but the Horse feels the Navigator's moral compass slipping, and even a villain can't let that happen.

The Horse decides to get a closer look into the Navigator's past that he's buried deep in his subconscious, and finds out what drives a person to make the right choice, and what propels someone to make a selfish one.

And, thus begins an exploration of why a young man would become a superhero.. and the cost of that decision.

Fantastic stuff -- if you've dug series like THE BOYS, IRREDEEMABLE, INCOGNITO, or JUPITER'S LEGACY, you will love TRANSLUCID.

Get the TRANSLUCID Phantom Variant this week at Third Eye, available in limited quantities and only $3.99!
Also arriving this week is the elusive PHANTOM variant of TRANSLUCID #1, with availability in less than 30 comic shops worldwide, this exclusive limited edition cover is a perfect way to celebrate one of the hottest releases of the month.

We'll have very limited quantities available on this one, so make sure you pop by and snag your's this week at Third Eye!

Thaal Sinestro has lost everything he's ever loved: his home, his family, his only friend. But, no matter how desperate he becomes, Sinestro will never be without fear: a lesson his one-time ally, one-time enemy Lyssa Drak is eager to teach him.

Can he take back the despicable Yellow Lantern Corps, or does the universe have a new destiny in mind for Sinestro?

MS. MARVEL #3 -- The new MARVEL NOW Ms. Marvel series has us hooked! Snag #1 and find out why this week at Third Eye!
We're so digging the new MS. MARVEL series, with each issue proving to be even better than the one before it, and this week's issue #3 continues the trend.

In MS. MARVEL #3, the All-New Ms. Marvel has already gained international fame, but in Kamala's case, star-power comes with a whole lot of inconvenience.

But, can a single man be trusted with near-limitless abilities? What will this mean to the ones he loves? And will his choices lead to utter chaos and destruction?

Folks, we're totally digging the new Gold Key stuff, like TUROK and MAGNUS, and SOLAR is by far our most anticipated of the line.

SEX CRIMINALS TP VOL.1 ONE WEIRD TRICK ARRIVES FOR ONLY $9.99 THIS WEDNESDAY, COLLECTING ONE OF THE BEST NEW IMAGE SERIES TO DEBUT LAST YEAR!
From HAWKEYE writer Matt Fraction!
 One of our favorite new series of the last year, SEX CRIMINALS is a must-read, and we highly recommend scooping up the first trade this week for only $9.99.

We promise: it'll be one of the best new IMAGE series you've read since you tried SAGA!

In SEX CRIMINALS, Suzie's just a regular gal with an irregular gift: when she makes love, she stops time. One day she meets Jon, and it turns out that he has the same uncanny ability.

And sooner or later, they get around to using their gifts to do what we'd all do: rob a couple banks, travel the world, and live a life of high adventure.

Sharply humorous, extremely smart, and utterly charming, Sex Criminals is a fantastic new series, and you have gotta give it a shot.

And, heck, if that doesn't convince you, then maybe Chip Zdarsky's hilarious friendship with the Applebees Facebook page might. You can read more about that here.
