This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 6/11/14

START READING ONE OF IMAGE'S MOST EXCITING NEW SERIES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S MANIFEST DESTINY #7!
Catch up with the first TPB (Collecting 1-6 for only $9.99) & Hop on board #7!
Dude: we are so amped for this week's MANIFEST DESTINY #7, for a multitude of reasons, but most importantly due to to the fact that this is the first in a brand new story arc, and a great opportunity for us to get a ton of you guys into one of our favorite new books.

Picking up where the first trade paperback (collecting 1-6, and only $9.99!) leaves off, MANIFEST DESTINY #7 kicks off a brand new story arc, as Lewis, Clark, and the surviving members of their expedition continue westward only to learn there is nowhere to run on the river.

What's the scoop on MANIFEST DESTINY? So, picture this: it's the year 1804, and Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark have set out on an expedition to explore the uncharted American frontier.

But, instead of discovering all the things they actually discovered... they also learn of all manner of monstrosity that lurks in the wilds of the new frontier. From Buffalo centaurs to crazy plant monster things -- it's all awesome, and we cannot get enough!

Wanna get into it? Snag the first trade paperback for just $9.99, collecting 1-6, and then hop on with this week's issue #7. Trust us: it'll be one of the best IMAGE titles you've picked up this year.

Get the MANIFEST DESTINY #7 Marc Silvestri & TODD MCFARLANE Variant this week at Third Eye!
And, in celebration of the kick-ass new story arc that begins in this week's #7, not only do we get the regular edition of MANIFEST DESTINY #7, but we're also getting an exclusive variant cover by comic legends TODD MCFARLANE and MARC SILVESTRI. Only $2.99 -- but they're going to be popular, so make sure you snag your's quick!

PURE JACK KIRBY-INSPIRED AWESOMENESS FROM DC COMICS'S INFINITY MAN & THE FOREVER PEOPLE #1 from DAN DIDIO & KEITH GIFFEN!
Folks, one of our favorite guilty pleasures of the DC NEW 52 was Giffen & Didio's OMAC run, and we're equally excited for their next Kirby-inspired project, INFINITY MAN AND THE FOREVER PEOPLE.
Four of the best students from New Genesis arrive on Earth to study and aid in the advancement of humanity -- but they soon discover a darker purpose for their mission: a threat so great that it may bring the multiverse itlsef to its knees!
The only thing that stands between them and total destruction is the mysterious entity known as the Infinity Man!
Pure comic book fun and energy crackling off the page, we highly recommend this one to anyone who dug their previous work on OMAC, or who loves classic JACK KIRBY New Gods stuff, or books like the new school SILVER SURFER.

THE SURVIVAL HORROR INSANITY OF CROSSED CONTINUES WITH CROSSED VOL.9 TRADE PAPERBACK THIS WEDNESDAY!
Two very different Crossed scribes open new wounds in the miserable world of the Crossed!

Daniel Way introduces a naval captain and his crew as they attempt to survive the plague of insanity spreading across the globe in 'Grave New World.' 

He's a shrewd man and watching the monsters has given him an insightful plan for saving those in his charge. But whether it is inspiration or insanity, the crew still faces the gleeful misery of the Crossed.

And Simon Spurrier returns to tell a tale set in the infected outback. Todd drives a road train through the desolate Australian desert. 
 
Before C-day he was a loser, an outcast, a fat nobody with a nobody-job. Now he's an Emperor of the wasteland. 
 
His rig and its trailers are the safest place around: stocked to the brim with canned food and gasoline. 
 
But his desire to have a harem who worship him opens himself up to the true horrors of the outback. 
 
Spurrier brings his trademark flare for developing intricately flawed characters to a story that will haunt your dreams for years to come. 
 
In a world of Crossed... there is no hope and there is no help. There is only the Crossed.
 
Folks, if you love horror comics, and haven't yet read CROSSED, you need to remedy that, right now! 
 
Seriously: pick up CROSSED vol.1, and find out why this is the most shocking, visually and narratively intense survival horror comic on the stands. If you thought WALKING DEAD didn't hold back, then wait'll you read CROSSED.

BOOM STUDIOS! Publishers of THE WOODS, HELHEIM & MORE TEAM UP WITH CULLEN BUNN, writer of SIXTH GUN, HELHEIM & DEADPOOL KILLS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE to deliver an epic new horror comic with EMPTY MAN #1
There's nothing scarier than horror that hits home -- a tale of terror one or two steps removed from our own reality.
And, the Empty Man definitely delivers that, with a very dystopic view of the world we know, where a terrifying disease has taken on almost deific connotations.
Teaming up CULLEN BUNN (SIXTH GUN, HELHEIM, DEADPOOL KILLS MARVEL) with the very talented VANESSA R. DEL REY, EMPTY MAN is all about a new disease known as EMPTY MAN disease, which no drug can stop.
The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous hallucinations, suicidal dementia, and more followed by death, or a near lifeless, 'empty' state of catatonia.
As murder cults rise nationwide, the FBI and CDC enter a joint investigation of Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cults and uncover a cure.
Get into it this week at Third Eye, folks!
