This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 1/21/15

Spider-Verse continues with this Wednesday's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #13!

Find out why this is the most exciting take on the Wallcrawler since SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!
We are absolutely enthralled with the incredible storyline of SPIDER-VERSE, and this week's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #13, continues to impress, as it delivers chapter 5 in the series.
Spider-Verse kicks into high gear, as the final battle begins HERE! Every Spider-Man from every timeline.. EVER.. must fight, and no Spider is SAFE!
Third Eye Faithful, if you're not already reading Spider-Verse, and curious about what the scoop is on it -- here's the deal: beginning in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #9, every single alternate universe of Spider-Man has collided into the main 616 Universe, as everyone from Spider-Man Noir to Spider-Man 2099 to Ultimate Spider-Man are finding themselves being hunted down by a long-line of Spider-Killer known as Morlun(s) -- who you may remember from J. Michael Straczynski's incredible run of Spidey back in the day. 
This incredible new series has introduced some new fan-favorites like SPIDER-GWEN, and re-introduced some classic Spidey characters like SPIDER-HAM, and we're loving every single second of it.
Toss in the fact that artist Olivier Coipel (Avengers vs. X-Men), and writer Dan Slott (Superior Spider-Man) are absolutely killing it on art and story here, and you've got yourself one heck of an impressive title. 
You wanna jump on board? We've got chapters 1-4 (issues 9-12), in stock now to get you on board, as well as all the tie-ins and EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE prelude stuff.

BATMAN & ROBIN #38 begins a NEW direction & new jumping on point for the series with the official return of Damian Wayne!

It's official: Batman and Robin are back together again! But, what's new about Damian Wayne upon his return?
We've been long championing the incredible work that Peter Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, and Mick Gray do together with BATMAN, and now is the time for you to get on one of comics best kept secrets: BATMAN AND ROBIN.
This is by far only second to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's BATMAN, in terms of being one of the best Bat-Books on the stands, and this week's issue #38 marks a perfect place to get on board and get into it! 
After the incredible ROBIN RISES storyline (which we have all chapters in stock and available now, click here for our Third Eye Guide for more info), we're jumping back to the reunion of the Dynamic Duo, as Damian Wayne is back... and he's brought some eerie new super-powers with him.

Image's killer new series, RUMBLE, continues this Wednesday in RUMBLE #2!

We totally loved the debut issue of RUMBLE, and we're so stoked to see where the series is heading next with this week's RUMBLE #2!
Last week, Bobbya LaRosa was miserable -- miserable with his dead-end job, his callous ex-girlfriend, and his lazy pal. 
This week, it's all sword-swinging scarecrows, guts-dripping demons, a giant bog mummy, and six headed monsters! 
Right now: last week's not looking too shabby.
You get some answers, more questions, and a whole lot of crazy in issue #2 of RUMBLE! 
What's RUMBLE all about? After a long absence, Rathraq, Scarecrow Warrior God, is back, and he's very, very unhappy. 
Bad news for his old enemies, yes, but worse news for the rest of civilization. 
This incredible modern day action adventure fantasy thriller blends the humor of LOUIS C.K. with the otherworldly bone-crunching awe of ROBERT E. HOWARD as if it was directed by David Fincher.
AWESOME stuff. Wanna get into it? We've got issue 1 in stock to get you on board.

The cult favorite TV series MILLENIUM returns in comic form with this week's MILLENIUM #1!

A big part of why the X-FILES SEASON 10 series has been so darn good is because of the talent that writer JOE HARRIS has brought to it! 
So, when we saw that JOE HARRIS would be also handling the writing chores on the upcoming MILLENIUM comic, we knew it was in very capable hands.
So, fifteen years ago, the end of the world-anticipated 'Millenium Event' was avoided thanks to the efforts of Frank Black and FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Or... was it? 
Frank's psychic gifts have been showing him that evil has continued to grow unabated in the world, and he's trying his best to ignore it. 
But soon the resurgence of the Millenium Group and their quest to find Frank's daughter Jordan will pull him into the fray once again, whether he likes it or not.

But, when Peter is captured by a bounty hunter with a strange connection to his past, can the two make amends before he's fed to a giant alien? 
A Badoon death sentence isn't exactly Peter's idea of a good time -- luckly, he's got an ace up his sleeve. 
But Star-Lord soon encounters the all-powerful Titan responsible for so much mayhem in his life: THANOS! 
It's the battle to end all battles, but can Star-Lord possibly get out alive? If he does, the vicious Mister Knife and the ancient cosmic artifact known as the Black Vortex are waiting! 
Collecting STAR-LORD 1-5, this is a must-have for ANY Guardians fan!

BURNING FIELDS #1 delivers a modern take on the War / Horror genre!

We loved the cult favorite werewolf tale, CURSE, and now, the writer of CURSE, is back, with a very interesting blend of war stories and horror, in a very modern setting.
This geopolitical drama with monster mythos bubbling underneath is the kind of story that both fans of ZERO DARK THIRTY and John Carpenter's THE THING, will totally dig.
Meet Dana Atkinson, a dishonorably discharged army investigator, who finds herself pulled back to the Middle East when a group of American oil techs disappear under bizarre circumstances. 
With the help of an Iraqi investigator, what Dana discovers is unimaginable: a series of unusual incidents at the drill site lead her and her unlikely ally to discover a mythic evil that has been released, one that threatens both the lives of the entire region and the fragile peace that exists.

A must for fans of EAST OF WEST and SAGA, this incredible new ongoing series from IMAGE COMICS continues to impress with issue #3, and we are totally stoked to see where it goes next.
In this week's issue #3, we're introduced to Goodfoot the Sly... question is: is she here to help the wizards.. or herself?
This new series, featuring art by the incredible BEN DEWEY, and story from talented comics veteran, KURT BUSIEK, has us hooked!

Sergio Aragones's GROO returns in the new ongoing GROO: FRIENDS & FOES #1

We've always loved the heck out of Sergio Aragones, and his spoof on Conan, GROO. So, it should be no surprised by how pumped we are to see this series kicking off this week!
