So, when we saw issue #2 was on the way this week -- I'm not gonna lie -- we got uber stoked!

In this week's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #2, Electro's power is out of control -- and only one person can fix it...

Wait for it.....

THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!

But, wait, this is the AMAZING Spider-Man now.

So, we're probably out of luck.

Plus: you know that thing from last issue? The one that freaked you out? The return of you-kno-who?

More on that. :)

Seriously though: this is the best Spidey has been in ages, and it just keeps on getting better.

FOREVER EVIL REACHES IT'S CONCLUSION WITH THIS WEEK'S FOREVER EVIL #7 -- AND THE ENDING WILL LEAVE YOU WITH YOUR JAWS ON THE FLOOR!
THE FUTURE ('S END?) OF THE DC UNIVERSE COMES INTO FULL REVEAL HERE!
It's been a long time coming, but the shocking conclusion to FOREVER EVIL is most definitely worth the wait. Holy crap: our jaws are on the floor with this one, Third Eye Faithful, and your's will be too.

It's evil-versus-evil in the shocking take no prisoners conclusion to FOREVER EVIL!

What will be the fate of Lex Luthor and his Injustice League? Who will live -- and who will die?

And, why is the Hooded Man the most feared being from the Syndicate's world?

Do not miss this startling finale to the biggest storyline DC's done since BLACKEST NIGHT, as it's going to leave the DCU reeling and reveal the secrets to the future of the NEW 52 as a whole.

We've thoroughly enjoyed every second of FOREVER EVIL, and love this "the day the bad guys take over" concept -- I mean, c'mon: who doesn't love rooting for iconic villains like Luthor or Sinestro?

So, while we're sad to see such a great event come to an end, we can tell you right now: what's on the way because of how this one finishes is HUGE.

Wanna get caught up on FOREVER EVIL? We've got issues 1-6 in stock now to catch you up to 7, as well as all of FOREVER EVIL's tie-ins.

Will they use it to save the world? Not quite!

In this high-octane, over-the-top adventure, MPH brings you super speed like you've never seen it before, as the question is asked: what do a group of normal every day folks do when they're given the power of a god?

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 19th issue of SAGA ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY! 
THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE TO FOLLOW AFTER SAGA VOLUME 3, AND IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO JUMP ONTO THE MONTHLY SERIES!
Find out why this is our favorite series!
Third Eye Faithful: it's always a time to rejoice when a new SAGA comes out, and hot damn -- we're rejoicing.

Quite possibly the best monthly comic on the stands, SAGA continues to impress with each and every issue, as it combines elements of epic sci-fi like STAR WARS or FIREFLY with the gritty high fantasy of A GAME OF THRONES.

In issue #19, it's a new planet, new adversaries, and a very new direction for the series, as this issue picks up immediately after the events of SAGA VOLUME 3 (collecting 13-18 of SAGA).

If you've been reading the series in trade, and waiting eagerly for a great place to jump onto the monthly series: we could not recommend picking issue #19 up highly enough.

Trust us: you know you can't wait for volume 4. :)

For those of you not yet reading SAGA, we gotta tell you: pick up the first trade paperback for $9.99, and find out why this is the best of the best.

What's it about? From Y THE LAST MAN writer BRIAN K. VAUGHAN and critically acclaimed artist FIONA STAPLES, Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the worlds.

When two soldiers from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous old universe.

Fantasy and science-fiction are wed like never before in a sexy, subversive drama for adults.

This, Third Eye Faithful, is the kind of thing you're going to be hearing about for a long time -- it's THAT good.

Get into it!

ORIGINAL SIN #2  CONTINUES MARVEL'S HUGE SUMMER EPIC, AS THE QUESTION CONTINUES TO BE ASKED: WHAT DID HE SEE?
A MURDER MYSTERY OF COSMIC PROPORTIONS! DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS INCREDIBLE NEW SERIES!
Folks, we are totally pumped about Marvel's brand new ORIGINAL SIN series, and I gotta tell you: the debut issue of this was INCREDIBLE.

In issue #2, the cosmic manhunt for the Watcher's murderer continues. More bodies are discovered. The killer's trail leads to the far corners of the universe and beyond.

And, just when Nick Fury and the Avengers think they've cornered their murder.... EVERYTHING EXPLODES, unleashing the Marvel Universe's greatest secrets.

If you read last week's AVENGERS #30, you know: everything is about to set off, and set off it does in this week's ORIGINAL SIN #2.

With the mysterious killer of the Watcher dishing out the dirt left and right, and sewing the seeds of distrust amongst the Marvel Universe's greatest heroes, shades of Civil War remind us that the alliances between icons can be easily broken... and not easily repaired.

Wanna get caught up? We've got issue #0 and issue #1 in stock now to catch you up!

SCOTT SNYDER'S WEEKLY BATMAN EPIC, BATMAN ETERNAL, CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY AS IT LAYS THE GROUNDWORK FOR THE FUTURE OF GOTHAM & THE DARK KNIGHT IN 2014 & 2015!
We're loving BATMAN ETERNAL, and the fact that we get a weekly dose of Scott Snyder, writer of BATMAN: COURT OF OWLS, BATMAN: CITY OF OWLS, BATMAN: DEATH OF THE FAMILY, and currently, BATMAN: ZERO YEAR, is pretty darn awesome.

In this week's issue #7, new players enter the gang war that's setting Gotham City ablaze... and trust us: they're not doing anything to help vanquish the flames!

Don't miss out on this weekly series, which along with NEW 52: FUTURE'S END, brings the return to glory for DC at one of the things they do best: kick-ass year-long weekly events ala 52.

DEADPOOL TPB VOL.4 DEADPOOL VS. SHIELD ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY, DELIVERING THE NEXT HILARIOUS INSTALLMENT IN MARVEL'S ONGOING DEADPOOL SERIES!
Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn are doing incredible things with the Merc with a Mouth, and this week's volume 4 continues to show us that they've got a lot more on the way!

SHIELD makes a grievous tactical error when they stiff DEADPOOL on a bill, and you can bet that they're going to regret it!

Deadpool declares a one-man war on the world peacekeeping agency -- but even as the maniacal merc pursues his revenge, SHIELD discover someone has been betraying them.. and it seems to be Agent Preston.

Deadpool takes his fight to the Helicarrier, intent on getting his money one way or the other -- and comes face-to-face with the one and only: AGENT PHIL COULSON!

Collecting issues #20-#25 of DEADPOOL, this is a must-have!

GRIMM FAIRY TALES PRESENTS: WARLORD OF OZ #1 TAKES US BACK ZENESCOPE'S TWISTED WORLD OF OZ!
The second, epic installment of OZ is here! Peace has been restored to OZ.

The Fallen witch, Lynessa and her sister, Zina, are fading into memory like a bad dream, soon to be remembered only in tales meant to frighten children.

But, there is one witch that still draws breath in Oz and she has not forgotten the power of her masters or the evil that they left behind.

Soon, the people of Oz will face a foe more frightening than any enemy that has come before: the Warlord of Oz has arrived.

Much like their WONDERLAND and NEVERLAND series, Zenescope's OZ series takes the world of Oz and casts it through the lens of horror and fantasy genres to create an epic twist on the classic arch-types you know so well.

Wanna get into the first in the series? We've got the GFT: OZ graphic novel in stock now to catch you up to this week's second installment, the WARLORD OF OZ.

DC NEW 52'S FUTURE'S END #3 ARRIVES THIS WEEK, CONTINUING THE WEEKLY DCU SUMMER EVENT THAT HAS US HOOKED! 
DO NOT MISS THIS TALE THAT SPANS THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE OF THE DCU!
Did Firestorm kill a member of the Justice League? Who is watching Batman Beyond? And why.. is Frankenstein living in an igloo?

Seriously tho: this comic rules, and we are hooked. DC really knows how to deliver a killer weekly storyline, and we cannot wait to see where they take the event next.

What's it all about? Five years from now, the DCU is reeling from a war with another Earth, leaving the world unprepared for an approaching evil that threatens to destroy the future.

Can a time-traveling Batman Beyond help a massive cast of the DCU's finest avert the impending apocalypse?

JONATHAN HICKMAN'S INCREDIBLE SCI-FI WESTERN EPIC FROM IMAGE COMICS, EAST OF WEST, CONTINUES IN EAST OF WEST #12 THIS WEDNESDAY! 
We're HOOKED on East of West, which if you're digging other awesome IMAGE titles like SAGA, then you need to be reading.

In this week's issue #12, THE NIGHT BEFORE, a last ditch effort is undertaken to avoid a war between nations by the most unlikely person on the planet.

And, the remains of the Chosen... reassemble.

What's EAST OF WEST all about? This fascinating, and compelling trip through history, brings a very dystopian sci-fi feel to comics, and we love it.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse roam the Earth, signaling the End Times for humanity, and our best hope for life... lies in the man known as Death.

Imagine Blade Runner by way of DARK TOWER, and you'd have EAST OF WEST.

Incredible storytelling, incredible artwork, this is one of the best books out, and if you're thinking of jumping on: we highly recommend it.

We've got issues 1-11 in stock now to catch you up, or you can scoop up volume 1 & 2 in trade paperback, to catch up to issues 11 & 12 in singles.

BLACK CANARY & ZATANNA TEAM UP IN THE NEW BLACK CANNARY & ZATANNA BLODSPELL ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL BY BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES CREATOR PAUL DINI!
We are SO pumped for this graphic novel, it's not even funny.

Two of the DCU's brightest stars join forces in an all-new original graphic novel by the one and only BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES pioneer, PAUL DINI.

A year ago, Black Canary infiltrated a gang of female criminals set to pull a dangerous heist at a Vegas casino.

Its leader was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and more than a passing interest in black magic.

Rather than be captured by Canary or the law, she went to her death, vowing to get revenge on Canary!

Now, one year later, death stalks those gang members, and Canary must turn to her friend Zatanna to help investigate.

Featuring the incredible artwork of Joe Quinones, and the storytelling talents of Paul Dini (who is pretty much THE writer when it comes to good Zatanna stories) -- BLACK CANARY & ZATANNA: BLOODSPELL is a must-have.

PATHFINDER: CITY OF SECRETS #1 BRINGS PATHFINDER BACK TO THE WORLD OF COMICS THIS WEDNESDAY, FEATURING "SKULLKICKERS" Writer JIM ZUB!
Some folks are just a natural when it comes to certain genres, and Jim Zub's other venture into the world of high fantasy with the PATHFINDER comics is a perfect example of this. He just nails it every time, and this brand new, new-reader friendly PATHFINDER series is no exception!

The Pathfinder heroes head to the city of Magnimar, and danger isn't far behind!

As the wizard Ezren seeks an audience with the Pathfinder Society, his adventuring allies explore the city's ancient magic, well-hidden secrets, and deep political divides!

The dangers and opportunities of the big city could bring the adventurers closer together -- or team them apart!

This issue marks the start of a new adventure series and is the perfect jumping on point for those of you new to the Pathfinder comics.

And, hey, if you've NEVER read Pathfinder before, and are just into the idea of a really kick-ass sword-and-sorcery high fantasy comic: these are perfect to scratch that issue.

For those of you who DO play Pathfinder, will be stoked to know that each issue of this series features an exclusive Pathfinder RPG encounter and a bonus playable tactical map / art poster, bound in with each issue!

CULLEN BUNN'S NEW SINESTRO ONGOING SERIES CONTINUES TO RULE WITH THIS WEEK'S SINESTRO #2
Sinestro's face-to-face with the Yellow Lanterns, the Corps he built in his own image -- but does he like what they've become?

Or does he look upon his works and despair?

It's time to find out if the Sinestro Corps is strong enough for the mission he has in mind for them -- and if they're not, then they won't stand a chance against the growing threat of the Pale Vicars!

This new ongoing NEW 52 title is one of the most exciting, and promising of the DC NEW 52 we've seen yet, and we cannot wait to see where writer Cullen Bunn takes it next!

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

STAR WARS: DARTH MAUL SON OF DATHOMIR #1 DEBUTS THIS WEDNESDAY, EXPLORING THE FATE OF DARTH MAUL!
Getting cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and being rejected by his former Sith master Darth Sidious isn't going to defeat Darth Maul.

In fact, it only makes him mad enough to take on the galaxy... alongside an army of Mandalorians.

Yes, you read that right: an army of Mandalorians.

Are you stoked for this? We're stoked. I mean, c'mon: Darth Maul + Mandalorians? How can this NOT be awesome?

THIS WEEK'S INVINCIBLE #111 DELIVERS A PERFECT JUMPING ON POINT FOR ROBERT KIRKMAN'S (WALKING DEAD writer) AMAZING TAKE ON SUPER-HEROES!
Folks: you've heard us ranting and raving about how great the series, INVINCIBLE, is for quite a while now, right?

And, we don't plan on stopping anytime soon, so you might as well give this incredible title a shot and find out why we're so crazy for it, right?

Well, this week's issue #111 is the perfect place for those of you who don't want to backtrack to volume 1 to jump on board.

From WALKING DEAD writer ROBERT KIRKMAN, a new beginning for INVINCIBLE takes the character and his world on a very dark path.

Everything changes as Invincible is betrayed by one of his own in this new-reader friendly jumping on point.

Folks: if you think Robert Kirkman shocks you with WALKING DEAD, then you're in for a surprise with INVINCIBLE: because he gets you even worse here.

Just like WALKING DEAD delivers a tight, strong character-driven story, so does INVINCIBLE, but instead of it being a survival horror epic, this is a look at super-powers and the effects they cause in a very realistic light.

We cannot recommend the book enough, and highly recommend snagging a copy of #111 and jumping on board.

BOOM STUDIOS & ARCHAIA, PUBLISHERS OF DEAD LETTERS & THE WOODS, DELIVERS ANOTHER STELLAR NEW SERIES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S "THE LAST BROADCAST" #1
A GORGEOUSLY ILLUSTRATED LOOK AT URBAN EXPLORATION!
Folks: Archaia is always ahead of the curve on stellar talent, and killer concepts, and this week's LAST BROADCAST, continues that trend.

In LAST BROADCAST, co-creators Andre Sirangelo and Gabriel Iumazark take us deep into the renegade world of urbEx (urban exploration), and it's stunning.

Toss in a decades-old conspiracy involving vaudeville magicians and occult spiritualists, and that, Third Eye Faithful, is a recipe for good comics!

The cunning, daredevil urbEx members of Backbone will win you over as the ragtag, Ocean's Eleven-style crew traverses treacherous sewer systems and abandoned warehouses.

Iumazark's Brazilian / Japanese-fusion art style brings an edgy energy to every dark corner that the Backbone tema explores, and it makes for a very immersive reading experience.

What's the scoop? An urban spelunking group in San Francisco discovers a secret bunker belonging to the long-vanished 1930s stage magician Blackhall the Incredible at the same time as young, out-of-work magician Ivan receives a mysterious package that points him toward a possible conspiracy involving Blackhall's death in 1934.

Both groups dive into the mystery, not yet realizing it's about to change their lives forever.

 ORDINARY #1 ASKS THE QUESTION: WHAT IF EVERYONE WOKE UP WITH SUPERPOWERS -- AND IT WAS THE WORST THING THAT COULD'VE EVER HAPPENED TO THE WORLD?



We saw some early stuff on this, and thought it sounded pretty cool -- and folks, it's pretty darn good!

What if everyone woke up with superpowers -- and it was the worst thing in the world? When a strange plague gives every human being on the planet special powers, it's seen as the next step in human evolution.

But, hope quickly turns to terror, as every war, terrorist attack, every crime, every simple street argument escalates to truly horrific levels.

The world is tearing itself apart -- every trouble spot becomes a monstrous war zone and nuclear Armageddon looms.

The plague must be cured if humankind is to survive.

The key lies in the blood of the only human being who didn't get powers when the plague hit: a downtrodden, recently divorced New York plumber named Michael Fisher.

The most ordinary man alive has suddenly become the most extraordinary person on the planet Earth.

Giant baseball players, grannies aging in reverse, a talking Grizzly bear -- there's nothing out of the ordinary in Ordinary.
