Third Eye Faithful, if you just go home with 1 comic (although, you know that's hard to do :D), make it OUTCAST from ROBERT KIRKMAN.

This book is AWESOME.

Seriously: this will be your favorite IMAGE book of 2014, without a shadow of a doubt, and looks to be the most exciting thing the creator has done since first beginning THE WALKING DEAD.

Written by WALKING DEAD / INVINCIBLE creator ROBERT KIRKMAN, OUTCAST its one of this Summer's biggest IMAGE COMICS releases, and is by far, one of the most exciting new releases of 2014.
This stunning new horror series introduces us to a man named Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life, and now, he's fed up, and he needs answers.
Unfortunately, the things that he uncovers along the way to finding those answers could bring about the end of life on Earth as we know it.
With Cinemax developing a TV Pilot for OUTCAST, we can tell you now: this book looks to be shaping up to be the WALKING DEAD follow-up many of you guys have been waiting for.

All right, Third Eye Faithful. You know us, and you know us well: we love us some Robert Kirkman, and hot damn, we are excited for his upcoming new ongoing series OUTCAST, due out on 6/25/14.
So, when Mr. Kirkman was kind enough to send out these MASSIVE 8 foot long, 4 foot wide posters of his brand new series, we knew we had to make sure this got into the hands of one of you major Kirkman super-fans out there.
I mean, this thing is so big - we can't even find a place to fit it correctly! But, alas, our loss is your gain. :)
So, here's the deal..
Starting 5/28 - 6/23 (that's tonight, make sure to get your entries in before MIDNIGHT!), if you add OUTCAST to your subscription box here at Third Eye, OR, if you sign up for a subscription box and add OUTCAST, then your name will be entered into a prize drawing for this sweet, sweet poster.
We'll do the drawing the night of 6/24, and then, have the poster waiting in your subscription box with your copy of OUTCAST, if you are the winner - and then, we'll take a picture of you with this sweet poster and post it all over our Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram when you get your copy!

BLACKEST NIGHT writer GEOFF JOHNS & legendary comic artist JOHN ROMITA JR (KICK-ASS) join forces to make SUPERMAN a book you MUST read! 
Jump on board with the new direction & new arc in this Wednesday's SUPERMAN #32!
Third Eye Faithful, I have to tell you: I'm not normally a major SUPERMAN fan. I mean, I appreciate Big Blue, and heck, I love stories like ALL STAR SUPERMAN, and SUPERMAN RED SON, but I've never been super super into the character -- but, that's about to change.

You know why? 'Cause this SUPERMAN book is going to be the best darn DC Comics book on the stand.

It smokes anything done with Superman in the last 5 years, including recent favorite EARTH ONE, and it delivers the most unique, and breath-taking take on the Man of Steel that we've seen since Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely's stellar ALL STAR SUPERMAN storyline.

In SUPERMAN #32, a NEW ERA and NEW DIRECTION begins as Geoff Johns takes the reigns alongside legendary artist JOHN ROMITA JR.

And they're not wasting any time getting into the action, as they introduce Ulysses, the Man of Tomorrow, into the Man of Steel's life.

This strange visitor shares many of Kal-El's experiences, including having been rocketed from a world with no future.

Prepare yourself for a run full of new heroes, familiar villains, and new mysteries.

Plus: Clark Kent returns to the Daily Planet!

Seriously: this book crackles with the kind of raw comic energy that just makes comics FUN, and whether you're a DC head, or a Marvel head, you need to pick this up and give it a peek.

The one-two punch of Geoff Johns (aka the man who made AQUAMAN cool in the New 52 AQUAMAN series) and John Romita Jr. is incredible, and they don't slow down for one second.

GET IT!

BOOM STUDIOS DOES IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER AWESOME NEW SERIES, THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL #1 IS A MUST-READ FOR FANS OF BEE & PUPPYCAT AND LUMBERJANES!
Gotta say: BOOM STUDIOS has been kicking all KINDS of ass on their recent series, like BEE AND PUPPYCAT and LUMBERJANES, so when we saw they had something of the same style hitting shelves, we had to shout it out!
Popular webcomic maestros Frank Gibson and Tyson Hesse bring the wacky adventures of Gumball and his friends to comics for the first time.
What's the scoop? Gumball, Darwin, and all of their friends take on the world of comics! Gumball thinks he's the coolest kid on the block, but his little sister Anais begs to differ, and Darwin just wants to keep them all out of trouble.
Ridiculous, hilarious, and pretty darn adorable,  THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL is a blast.

ATTACK ON TITAN GETS AN AWESOME NEW SPIN-OFF PREQUEL SERIES WITH ATTACK ON TITAN: NO REGRETS VOL.1 FEATURING THE PAST OF LEVI & ERWIN!
We're super into the manga series ATTACK ON TITAN, so when we saw that there'd be a brand new prequel series beginning that delved into the past of Levi & Erwin, we knew were in for something awesome!
In this focused drama that follows Levi's journey from a life of crime to becoming humanity's strongest guardian, and his friendship with the ruthless, principled Commander Erwin, we're given a story that is very reminiscent of the TV series SHERLOCK.
Really good storytelling, and hey, IT'S MORE AWESOME ATTACK ON TITAN stuff!

AVATAR PRESS, PUBLISHERS OF CROSSED, DELIVER A HORRIFYING STEAMPUNK FAIRYTALE WITH DISENCHANTED VOL.1 THIS WEDNESDAY!
Discover the place where magic went to die!
Welcome to Vermintown! In DISENCHANTED, nobody gives a crap about the little people anymore. Once they were the mainstay of folklore: goblins, leprechauns, pixies and faeries.
But now? Dispossessed, forgotten, doubting even their own traditions, they've trickled into Vermintown: a vast and vile city of a million inch-tall malcontents.
Sprawing through an abandoned subway station deep beneath London, here myth has given way to sleaze, drugs, and gangland violence.
Vermintown is where magic went to die.
Whatever happened to magic? Disenchanted answers that question with all the ugliness of the fairy slums in this first graphic novel, and it's a ridiculously great read.
