DEATHSTROKE GETS HIS OWN ONGOING SERIES WITH THE BRAND NEW DEATHSTROKE #1 THIS WEDNESDAY
Who doesn't love the Terminator? No, not THAT Terminator, we're talking about ol' Slade Wilson here, you know: DEATHSTROKE, and folks, we are beyond stoked to see the most cold blooded killer the DCU has ever known get his own monthly ongoing series beginning with this week's DEATHSTROKE #1!

THE SAGA OF AVENGERS & X-MEN: AXIS CONTINUES IN THIS WEEK'S A&X: AXIS #3! A MUST-READ!
We've been loving the epic clash of Marvel's AXIS, as some of the most iconic, and nefarious villains in the Marvel Universe find themselves going head to head with some of the Marvel U's greatest heroes.. but, who's the hero and who's the villain in this twisted new vision of the Marvel U?

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: LEGENDS OF BALDUR'S GATE #1 TAKES US BACK TO ONE OF OUR FAVORITE D&D WORLDS THIS WEDNESDAY!
Written by WAYWARD / FIGMENT / SKULLKICKERS scribe JIM ZUB!
As children of the '80s, and teenagers of the '90s, we have our fair share of D&D in our blood, but our defining era here at Third Eye was the computer game BALDUR'S GATE, and the world that it created -- seriously: this game had us so hooked, it was ridiculous.
 
So, when we saw that our pal Jim Zub, who totally kicks ass on Image's WAYWARD, as well as Marvel's FIGMENT, and his other Image series SKULLKICKERS, was going to be taking us back to BALDUR'S GATE -- we got super stoked!
 
Generations have passed since the original Heroes of Baldur's Gate saved the city and the Realms.
 
Now, a new threat rises and an unlikely group of misfits are thrust into an adventure with MINSC, a legendary Ranger do-gooder with a heart of gold, a brain of lead, and a hamster of pronounced wisdom.
 
Get it this week, Third Eye Faithful!

We're HUGE fans of Image's ongoing series, FIVE GHOSTS, and when we heard the announcement it was going to be coming to the television screen soon -- well, we can't say we were surprised because the series is THAT good.

THE WOODS Writer JAMES TYNION IV launches an exciting new series with MEMETIC #1 this Wednesday!
We're huge fans of what Boom! and James Tynion have done together on the killer horror / sci-fi series THE WOODS, and we're even more excited to see what's in store with MEMETIC this week at Third Eye!
As the world ends, we're shown three oversized issues detailing what goes down over the course of the three days in which it ends, with this brand new take on the disaster genre.
What's it all about? A meme is an idea that starts with an individual, and then spreads throughout multiple persons and potentially entire societies.
Richard Dawkns suggests a meme's success comes from its effectiveness to the host.
But, history shows that destructive memes can spread just as rapidly through society.
Memetic shows the progression of a weaponized meme that leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours.
The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a 'meme', in the most popular sense.
Very reminiscent of horror manga like UZUMAKI and THE RING, Memetic is a must-read, chilling new mini-series!

Arkham's madness comes home in Arkham Manor, with a bold new series that takes you into the most twisted hearts and minds of its most dangerous inmates!
If you're a fan of the ARKHAM ASYLUM video games, or Grant Morrison's ARKHAM ASYLUM graphic novel, then you'll love this new series that spotlights the most fascinating part of Gotham: it's bad guys.
