This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 9/11/13


A New Team of AVENGERS Assembles To Defend Earth During INFINITY in MIGHTY AVENGERS #1 Featuring SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN!
From the battlefields of INFINITY comes the MIGHTY AVENGERS, and we couldn't be more stoked!
Featuring one of the raddest team line-ups we've seen in ages, with Luke Cage, the Superior Spider-Man, Sepctrum, White Tiger, and a mysterious figure in an ill-fitting Spider-Man Halloween Costume.... this brave bunch of heroes must assemble to defend Earth while the Avengers are light years away in space, contending with the Builders.
Now, with Thanos' Marauders ransacking the Earth, doing as they please, it's up to the MIGHTY AVENGERS to stand against them.
Folks: this was a great read. The storytelling and artwork looked extremely sharp, and we were all around impressed with the book and cannot wait to see what's next.
Join us this Wednesday for a special release day event, where we'll have trading cards of the MIGHTY AVENGERS available free with purchase of issue #1! Plus, Skottie Young Lithographs and more!

JOE HILL BEGINS TO WRAP UP HIS INCREDIBLE LOCKE & KEY EPIC WITH THE 2-PART LOCKE & KEY ALPHA THIS WEDNESDAY!
Make Sure You Get the EXCLUSIVE Third Eye Variant!
Never read LOCKE & KEY? Get This Variant Free with purchase of LOCKE & KEY VOL.1 TPB WELCOME TO LOVECRAFT
We are HUGE fans of Joe Hill's LOCKE & KEY epic, so we're pretty pumped and also very sad to see it nearing it's end, but hot damn: we know it's going to be good!
In this second-to-the-last issue of LOCKE & KEY.. ever.. the damned and the saved alike will make their final stand in the Drowning Cave, in a clash of blood and fire.
The shadows have never been darker and the end has never been closer.
Turn the key and open the last door; it's time to say goodbye.
Folks, there's good comics, and then there's GREAT comics, and LOCKE & KEY is the definition of GREAT comics.
A modern day successor to comic masterpieces like THE SANDMAN, LOCKE & KEY is one of those blendings of fantasy, horror, and more into one awesome package that defies genre.
Written by novelist JOE HILL, it's the story of the Locke family who after surviving the brutal murder of their father move in to the ancestral family home, Keyhouse.
They soon discover that the house is loaded with secrets when they begin finding magical keys that hold impossible powers such as turning people into ghosts, or being able to erase someone's memories.
They are not the only ones who know of the keys; a demonic creature known as Dodge is also after the keys, with the goal of opening the Black Door, which will allow the demons of hell to enter our world.
This is modern day horror at it's best, and I can't recommend it enough.
If you've never read it, snag the first trade paperback this week, and we'll give you the Third Eye Variant of LOCKE & KEY ALPHA #1... FREE.. with purchase!
We want you to read this book!

 THE BATTLE OF THE ATOM CONTINUES WITH X-MEN #5 *BATTLE OF THE ATOM CHAPTER 3* 
Duuuuude -- we loved the first two chapters of BATTLE OF THE ATOM from last week, which looks to be shaping into one of the coolest, most kick-ass X-MEN crossovers since MESSIAH COMPLEX / SECOND COMING.
With the X-MEN of the FUTURE traveling to the present to tell the X-MEN of the past (you know, the ALL NEW X-MEN kids) that they gotta go home, or else all hell is gonna break loose.. well you know that can't be anything less than epic.
With rumors swirling that this is the big storyline that helps bring all the alternate X-MEN timelines together, and make sense of everything, we couldn't be more pumped to see where it heads next.
Wanna get caught up? We've got Chapters 1 & 2, in BATTLE OF THE ATOM and ALL NEW X-MEN #16, in stock now to get you up to speed.

AVENGERS #19 *INFINITY TIE-IN CHAPTER 3* -- THE INFINITY SAGA CONTINUES THIS WEDNESDAY!
The INFINITY crossover continues, and we're totally digging on it. Hickman's done a great job of building an epic story in the main title, while filling in the gaps and connective tissue with AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS.

INHUMANS BY PAUL JENKINS & JAE LEE HARDCOVER -- ONE OF THE BEST MODERN MARVEL COMICS GETS PUT BACK INTO PRINT THIS WEDNESDAY!
From the artist of BATMAN / SUPERMAN
The Inhumans are one of Marvel's most enduring oddities. A race of genetic freaks living secluded in their island kingdom of Attilan, their mutations are self-endowed; as a coming of age ritual, each Inhuman exposes himself to the Terrigen Mists, a strange substance that imparts unearthly powers - some extraordinary, some monstrous.
But now Attilan is under attack from without and within.
Can the Royal Family, led by the mute Black Bolt, repel the foreign invaders who assail their outer defenses, as well as the internal threat of Black Bolt's insane brother, Maximus the Mad?
Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee infuse one of Marvel's oldest families with a modern sensibility - including international politics, class dissension and the age-old struggle of growing up.
Dark and grimly compelling, it remains one of Marvel Knights' most beloved stories. Collecting INHUMANS #1-12.
Folks: just for JAE LEE's art alone, this is a must-read.

IMAGE'S DARK NEW TAKE ON SUPERHEROES, THE SIDEKICK, GETS IT'S SECOND ISSUE THIS WEDNESDAY!
