Neil Gaiman's ANGELA makes her ongoing Marvel debut in Angela: Asgard's Assassin #1 this Wednesday by KIERON GILLEN (WICKED + DIVINE) & MARGUERITE BENNETT!
A fresh new heroine by two of comics top writers!
We're HUGE fans of the Image series THE WICKED + THE DIVINE by KIERON GILLEN, and we totally loved his work on JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY and YOUNG AVENGERS, so when we saw that they'd be pairing up to bring Neil Gaiman's classic ANGELA character (some of you may remember her from Spawn) to Marvel, we knew were in for a treat!
In ANGELA ASGARD'S ASSASSIN, all her life, Angela -- the finest warrior of Heaven -- was raised to hate Asgard with every fiber of her being.
And, now Angela knows the truth of her identity: she IS Thor's sister. She IS an Asgardian.
Cast out of her home and wanting nothing to do with Asgard, Angela must now strike out on her own!
But, what does Angela have that both Asgard and Heaven want? And, why are they so eager to get it?
This is an incredible introduction of a dynamic new character to the Marvel Universe, and folks, you know we love seeing Marvel take things in new directions. The series has a strong mythological bent, and gives us strong flashbacks to Gillen's own work on JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY featuring Loki.
Definitely worth taking a shot on this exciting new series, make sure you snag a copy of issue #1 this week at Third Eye!
Want more back story on ANGELA?
If you're curious about ANGELA, and want to get more background on the charater, we recommend scooping the ORIGINAL SIN: Thor & Loki TENTH REALM graphic novel (or issues, we've got those in stock as well!) to see where her origins in the Marvel Universe are first explored.
In this graphic novel, Thor and Loki must embark on a quest to find the strange new world known as the Tenth Realm, and discover the sister Thor never knew he had: ANGELA!

Gail Simone returns with the New 52 SECRET SIX in this week's SECRET SIX #1!
Gail Simone, is by far, one of the best darn comic book writers of the modern age, and her work on things like BATGIRL, and her previous run of SECRET SIX, have made her a major favorite here at Third Eye!
This week, we're totally pumped to see Gail return with the SECRET SIX, and are loving the direction the series is heading.
Six strangers are brought together under mysterious circumstances that leave everyone asking the question: What's the secret?
What's the scoop on SECRET SIX? This interesting riff on the Suicide Squad format originally evolved into something much cooler, as some of the DCU's most notorious villains found themselves cast in the role of heroes.
Simone is known for bringing sharp wit, and humor to the superhero action of Secret Six, and that's a big part of hte appeal.
The identity of who is actually part of the team is shrouded in secrecy, but, we do know that the fan-favorite Catman, and Black Alice, will be a part of the team.
We're super excited to see SECRET SIX back, and if you're a fan of things like SUICIDE SQUAD, or the previous SECRET SIX series, then you gotta check this out with this week's issue #1!

Snake Plissken returns from BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA comic publishers BOOM STUDIOS in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK #1 this Wednesday!
BOOM has done an incredible job with their BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA comic series so far, and when we saw they were doing ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, we knew we had to give it a shout-out. I mean, c'mon: the more John Carpenter comics, the better!
If you're a fan of the ESCAPE FROM NY film, or if you've never seen it, you're gonna love this killer new series that takes us into a dystopian future United States where the crime rate has risen 400 percent.
After humiliating the President in fron tof the world and destroying America's one chance to end World War III, Snake Plissken has become America's Most Wanted man in a land of criminals and the insane.
Everyone, and we mean EVERYONE, wants Snake dead. Luckily, Snake knows the feeling all too well.
War hero. Outlaw. Renegade. Call him Snake.
The folks at BOOM capture the feel and tone of Escape from New York so perfectly that you can almost hear that trademark John Carpenter synth-charged soundtrack in your head while reading the series.
And, take note, these are ALL NEW stories set in the world of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, not just retellings of the film!

Folks: this series is AWESOME. It's a perfect blend of sword-and-sorcery fantasy in the vain of LORD OF THE RINGS with modern day real-world settings that makes for an incredible, and fun read.
There's also a very strong FINAL FANTASY-esque flavor to the book that really has us hooked, and nostalgic for our Cloudbuster swords.

BATMAN: The Jiro Kuwata Batmanga Volume 1 collects the otherworldly Batman Manga from Japan featuring LORD DEATH MAN (you may remember him from BATMAN INCORPORATED)!
One of the things we love about comics, Third Eye Faithful, is when real hidden treasures are unearthed, and the Jiro Kuwata BATMANGA is by far, one of the most interesting takes on the Dark Knight we've ever seen.
In the 1960s, at the height of the Batman tV series' popularity, a shonen manga magazine in Japan serialized 53 chapters of original comics starring the DARK KNIGHT, all written and illustrated by Managaka Jiro Kuwata.
Now, DC Comics is proud to finally publish the complete Batman Manga adventures in English for the first time ever in three painstakingly restored volumes.
The adventure begins in this first volume as the Dynamic Duo faces the insidious threat of LORD DEATH MAN, who many of you may remember from Grant Morrison's BATMAN INCORPORATED!
A totally quirky, totally fun look at the BATMAN mythos in a way you've never seen before -- we could not resist the chance to give this one some love!

Folks, even if you've NEVER read a CROSSED comic before in your life, you have got to give CROSSED PLUS 100 a chance, because it's FREAKIN' awesome.
And, it's also a great way to sample the world of CROSSED, as it's a totally new reader-friendly journey into the dark survival horror genre that Crossed has created.
But, above all else, it's written by ALAN freakin' MOORE! Alan Moore, the man who brought you WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, BATMAN THE KILLING JOKE, and so much more!
In this all new monthly series, we're taken 100 years into the future, where Moore has created a whole new world and history with stunning levels of attention to detail.
Examining how civilizations rebuild and how generations grow, Moore weaves a rich tapestry of humanity evolving under extreme hardship, all of which is lushly brought to life by FERALS artist GABRIEL ANDRADE.
Archivist Future Taylor leads a salvage team working to rebuild the historical record of the original CROSSED outbreak. She's seen them in videos, but never any live ones, the Crossed are part of the distant past.
Until suddenly, a handful appear, and the blood begins to flow again.
All is not as it seems as a horrific mystery unfolds and once again Alan Moore redefines the medium of comics!
This masterwork is a self-contained whole new world, where no prior knowledge of the CROSSED series is needed.
Featuring several awesome alternate covers, available at regular cover price, with artwork planned out by Moore himself, this is a must-have, and a must-read, Third Eye Faithful.

CULLEN BUNN (Helheim, Sixth Gun, Deadpool Kills) brings us a new take on WEREWOLVES in WOLF MOON #1 this Wednesday!
We're big fans of CULLEN BUNN and his work on series like SIXTH GUN, HELHEIM, and Marvel's DEADPOOL KILLS series, so when we saw he was going to be putting out an incredible 6-issue miniseries for Vertigo bringing a gruesome new take to lycanthropy, we knew it was gonna be awesome.
In WOLF MOON, we're taken on a horrific werewolf hunt like no other! When Dillon Chase's family was slaughtered by the wolf, his life was forever changed.
Dillon sets out to destroy the creature, but he soon learns that lycanthropy is far more insidous than the legends ever said.
With each full moon, he draws closer to the monster -- and with each full moon, he becomes more aware that in order to stop the wolf, he must kill a human being and become a fearful monster himself.
We love a good werewolf story, and this one looks to be a must-read!

We're HUGE fans of the IMAGE series WICKED + DIVINE, and we've loved past work by Gillen and McKelvie as well, so when we saw that their fan-favorite YOUNG AVENGERS run was going to be collected in its entirety into one gorgeous hardcover omnibus -- we knew we had to shout it out!

DEADLY CLASS & BLACK SCIENCE Writer RICK REMENDER'S LOW continues to impress with LOW #5!
We love the heck out of Rick Remender, and his work on series like BLACK SCIENCE, DEADLY CLASS, FEAR AGENT, and of course, Marvel's AXIS.
So, it should be no surprise that we're preaching the awesomeness that is LOW, his most recent IMAGE release, and one of our favorite new reads of 2014.
In LOW, which reads like a blend of the series Saga and the video game Bioshock, we're taken deep into a world where humanity lives beneath the oceans, and the surface is uncharted territory.
In issue #5, Stel infiltrates the Third City, ruled by the charismatically insane Pirate King Roln, only to find that Roln holds two things very dear to her: her late Husband's helm suit -- as well as the means to pilot it.
This is the chilling conclusion to the first arc of this stellar new ongoing series, and we cannot wait to see how it wraps up!
What's LOW all about? In the far distant future, the sun's premature expansion has irradiated Earth, sending humanity to the lowest depths of the seas, hidden within radiation-shielded cities, while probes scour the universe for inhabitable worlds to relocate to.
After tens of thousands of years, a single probe returns, crashing on Earth's surface, a now-alien place no human has seen for many millenia.
We've got issues 1-4 of LOW in stock now to get you caught up to this week's issue #5!
