This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 8/13/14

ORIGINAL SIN #7 DELIVERS THE PENULTIMATE CHAPTER OF MARVEL'S EPIC SUMMER EVENT!
For the duration of the Summer, ORIGINAL SIN has kept us captivated, and on the edge of our seats, with each issue delivering even bigger revelations than the last, and with this week's penultimate chapter, issue #7, arriving -- we could not be more stoked!
We're going to keep the spoilers to a minimum, but we'll just say: the last battleground is a pretty accurate subtitle here.
All roads have been leading to this, Third Eye Faithful, and, the heroes of the Marvel Universe prepare for their final stand against... NICK FURY?
Operating in the shadows, Fury has protected the Marvel Universe from unseen forces. Protecting the Marvel U by any means necessary, Fury has "guarded the wall" for decades right under the noses of both SHIELD and the Avengers.
Now, drained of the Infinity Formula that kept him youthful, the battle-hardened soldier is rapidly aging, his time left short. But, the job is never done...
He'll stop at nothing to protect the Marvel U from what's coming -- even if he has to go through the Avengers to do it!
Armed with the Watcher's eyes, the secrets and sins of the entire Marvel U are now at his disposal.
The knowledge Uatu kept could now be their very undoing. How could anyone stand up against a tactical genius with access to all of the Marvel U's mightiest heroes greatest weaknesses?
Find out in this week's ORIGINAL SIN #7!

BOOM STUDIOS DEBUTS PRETTY DEADLY ARTIST EMMA RIOS'S HEXED #1 THIS WEDNESDAY! AN AWESOME NEW SERIES THAT'S ONE PART TOMB RAIDER, ONE PART BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!
BOOM STUDIOS has been doing an incredible job with their recent roster of creator-owned releases, and this week's HEXED #1 continues that trend!
We LOVE what Emma Rios has done on Image series PRETTY DEADLY, and her series HEXED looks equally awesome.
In HEXED, Lucifer is the perfect mash-up of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lara Croft.
Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves, aka Lucifer, is a supernatural thief-for-hire, stealing wondrous objects from the dark denizens of the netherworld for her mentor/mother figure, Val Brisendine.
But, when Lucifer accidentally unleashes a terrible evil from one of the paintings hanging in Val's art gallery, will any of the tricks up her sleeve be enough to stop it?
Emma's art is jaw-dropping here, and the storytelling is razor-sharp.
Highly recommended, snag a copy this week at Third Eye!

CHARLES SOULE & JOE MADUREIRA'S INHUMAN CONTINUES WITH THIS WEEK'S INHUMAN #3!
The first arc of INHUMAN climaxes in the battle of Medusa vs. Lash, and the secret history of an ancient branch of Inhumans is uncovered!
We're loving the format of this new ongoing series by the very talented CHARLES SOULE (DEATH OF WOLVERINE, LETTER 44, RED LANTERNS, SWAMP THING, SUPERMAN WONDER WOMAN), where the Terrigen Mists that came out of the Inhumanity Bomb in INFINITY have created a whole slew of new Marvel characters.
It's an exciting world that's being revealed, issue by issue, and the incredible artwork of Joe Mad brings everything to life in a perfect way.
Imagine the dynamic action and over-the-top world-building of SUPER STREET FIGHTER combined with the classic Marvel Universe, and that sums up INHUMAN well.
Wanna get caught up? We've got issues 1 & 2 in stock now to catch you up to this week's issue #3.

THE NEW SUICIDE SQUAD SERIES CONTINUES TO BE AMAZING WITH THIS WEEK'S NEW SUICIDE SQUAD #2
Last month, the NEW SUICIDE SQUAD series debuted, and delivered us one of the best takes on the SUICIDE SQUAD since it's original John Ostrander days.
Now, the fun continues in this week's issue #2, and we could not be more pumped!
Featuring a line-up consisting of Harley Quinn, Deathstroke, Joker's Daughter, Deadshot, Black Manta, and more, the New Suicide Squad is one of the best team roster's we've seen for the book yet.
And, in this week's issue #2, the team is trapped inside Russia with no hope of rescue, so what'd they do? They do what the Squad does best: go out with a bang!
Wanna hop on ? We've got issues 1 & 2 in stock now to get you on board!

Little does Hiroshi know that the apocalypse is not over, and that his memories of the past may yet save the future.

SPIDER-MAN 2099 CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY, AND WE'RE LOVING IT! SNAG SPIDER-MAN 2099 #2 THIS WEEK AT THIRD EYE!
Gotta tell you, Third Eye Faithful, as someone who grew up reading the original Spider-Man 2099 in the '90s -- I was more than just a tad stoked to see the character returning, and the man writing it being the same as it's original writer: PETER FREAKIN' DAVID!
So, needless to say: the new SPIDER-MAN 2099 kicks fifteen different kinds of butt, and then some. Highly recommended.
In issue #2, we see that life's not easy when you're a Spider-Man from the year 2099, and you're stuck in our present.
But, what's the bigger danger: bank robbers, or beautiful women?
Peter David's triumphant return to the character he created continues, and we're loving it!
Wanna hop on? We've got issue 1 in stock now to get you current!
