This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 5/28/14

COMICS LEGEND, WARREN ELLIS (TRANSMET, MOON KNIGHT, PLANETARY, NEXTWAVE, AUTHORITY) MAKES HIS IMAGE DEBUT WITH THE NEW ONGOING TREES #1 THIS WEDNESDAY!
All right, folks, telling ya right now: this is my own personal pick for the week, and I can pretty much speak for the rest of the team -- it's going to be their's too. It's THAT good.
 
I mean any time that Warren Ellis, one of the creators responsible for originally sparking my enthusiasm and passion for the medium of comics, launches a new project -- it's a reason to take notice, but Warren Ellis + Image Comics? You're on board already, right? I know I am.
 
Ten years after they landed. All over the world. And they did nothing, standing on the surface of the Earth like trees, exerting their silent pressure on the world, as if there were no one here, and nothing under foot.
 
Ten years since we learned that there's intelligent life in the universe, but that they did not recognize us as intelligent or a live.
 
A new take on the genres of science fiction and horror, TREES is a terrifying look at what would possibly happen if alien life stumbled onto Earth. 
 
A must-read, with incredible art courtesy of Jason Howard, TREES is one of the most promising new IMAGE series of 2014, and we cannot stress how much you need this book in your life. 
 
Get into it this week, Third Eye Faithful!

MARVEL'S CUTTING EDGE NEW ONGOING, INHUMAN, DELIVERS INHUMAN #2 THIS WEDNESDAY FROM RISING SUPERSTAR CHARLES SOULE (She-Hulk, Letter 44) and COMICS LEGEND JOE MADUREIRA (BATTLE CHASERS, DARKSIDERS)
Folks, we're huge fans of both Charles Soule & Joe Mad, so when we saw they'd be literally creating a new corner of the Marvel Universe, using the arrival of INHUMAN-ified characters, we knew we were in for a treat. 
 
New Inhumans are transformed every day as the Terrigen Mist spreads around the world.
 
Queen Medusa finds herself face to face with Captain America, and hey, that doesn't go over too well. 
 
And, who is Lash and what does he want with the new Inhumans? 
 
Folks, Inhuman is a fantastic new addition to Marvel's line-up, and a great way to watch as new characters who will play major roles in the Marvel Universe are literally created before your eyes.
 
Cutting edge, with no limits, this book kicks ass. Give it a shot this week at Third Eye. We've got issue 1 in stock to catch you up to this week's issue #2.

A MUST FOR FANS OF "THE WALKING DEAD!"
  
Folks, you've probably heard a thing or two about the killer manga and anime series ATTACK ON TITAN, right? It's pretty amazing, and it's one of the biggest crossover manga hits we've seen since the days of AKIRA. 
 
And, trust us: it's for good reason. This is an incredible story, with incredible artwork, that grabs you and does not let go.

Seemingly unintelligent, they have roamed the world killing off humankind for years. 
 
For the past century, what's left of mankind has hidden in a giant three-walled city. 
 
People believe their 100-meter high walls will protect them from the Titans, which are 10-20 meters tall.
 
But, when the sudden appearance of an immense Titan happens, we learn that everything si about to change.. forever.
 
Brutal, bleak, and dystopian survival horror much in the vein of THE WALKING DEAD, now is your chance to score this massive slab of awesome, delivering the first major chunk of the series in a 1000-page tome for only $59.99.

BATMAN VS. THE RIDDLER IN A MAJOR WAY!

TONY CHU VISITS WISCONSIN IN THIS WEEK'S CHEW / REVIVAL #1 ONE-SHOT, CROSSING OVER TWO OF THIRD EYE'S FAVORITE IMAGE TITLES!
We love the hell out of both CHEW and REVIVAL, so when we saw that IMAGE would be crossing over the two worlds into one awesome book, and that it was due out this Wednesday... we just about lost our minds. Seriously!
