This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 8/6/14

IMAGE COMICS DEBUTS A NEW SUPERHERO COMEDY WITH IMPERIAL #1!
 
We've loved pretty much everything writer Steven T. Seagle has worked on in the realm of comics, be it his now-classic Vertigo run on HOUSE OF SECRETS, his stunning take on the X-Men, or his fascinating reimagining of Superman in IT'S A BIRD, so when we saw he had something new on the way from Image -- we had to take a look!
In this buddy comedy with serious commitment issues, we're taken into a world of self-doubting superheroes, and the real world troubles they struggle with.
In Imperial, Mark is a couple of weeks out from the biggest day of his life -- his wedding day -- but then fate steps in and pulls the rug out from under him.
He's faced with an impossible choice: marry the woman who loves, understands and puts up with his (many) human failings? Or, leave her at the altar in order to take up the helm of one of the world's one and only superheroes: Imperial?
Up until now, there was nothing in Mark's life to suggest that he was the least bit remarkable, so why would the retiring Imperial choose him to be the protector of all mankind? Why now? And how will learning to shoot laser beams from his eyes impact Mark's rehearsal dinner schedule?
If the choice is superhero cred vs. true love -- does Mark disappoint the world.. or the woman of his dreams?

In GRAYSON #2, Grayson digs deeper into the mysterious organization known as Spyral, and learns more about his new partner: Helena Bertinelli -- aka.. the Huntress? :)

STEVEN UNIVERSE COMES TO COMICS COURTESY OF BOOM STUDIOS WITH THIS WEEK'S STEVEN UNIVERSE #1!
A MUST-READ!
We're all about ADVENTURE TIME, and we've loved Rebecca Sugar's incredible work on it for a while now, so it's no secret that we're big fans of her series STEVEN UNIVERSE.
In this comic about a boy and his friends living in a small beach community, who just happens to have magical powers and fight monsters on the side, we're taken into a super-fun, totally unique new format (very reminiscent of zines from the '90s), and immersed in this super fun world.
In issue #1, Steven really wants to enter the annual Beach City Bike Race but everyone else is just a tad worried.
Steven just makes the cut off for age, which means the other bikers will be a lot older than him.
Connie agrees to help Steven the old fashioned way through good ol' exercise, but Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl have other plans!
Super fun comic book goodness -- snag yourself a copy this week at Third Eye!

SPREAD #2 - The epic horror / sci-fi hybrid from IMAGE COMICS continues this Wednesday, a must-read!
Third Eye Faithful, we absolutely loved the first issue of this incredible new ongoing IMAGE series from LUTHER STRODE writer JUSTIN JORDAN and rising star artist KYLE STRAHM, so we're totally pumped for this week's issue #2.

What'd you get with SPREAD #2? Raiders. Slavers. A gigantic Spreadworm. A hungry baby. Our hero No has some serious problems, that's for sure.

What's SPREAD all about? Ten years ago, we dug too deep. We unleashed something ancient that couldn't be controlled. Something that couldn't be stopped, twisting everything it touched into more of itself.

The Spread.

Humanity was nearly destroyed before we found a way to slow the Spread to a crawl.

And, now, deep inside the quarantined zone, one man has found the key to stopping it forever: a baby girl.

And, if he can save her, he might save the world.

Imagine John Carpenter's THE THING vs. Lone Wolf and Cub and that sums up how we feel about SPREAD!

Wanna get on board? We've got issue 1 & 2 in stock now to get you up to current!

Get the SPREAD #1 2nd PTG with this AWESOME new cover art!
Look at this fantastic alternate cover on SPREAD #1's 2nd printing that hits this week -- this is so freakin' cool!

We'll have plenty in stock to hook you up!

JHONEN VASQUEZ OF JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC & INVADER ZIM FAME BRINGS HIS COLLECTED WORKS OF FILLER BUNNY TPB, COLLECTING THE ENTIRETY OF FILLER BUNNY INTO ONE TOME!
Folks, we're huge fans of the comic work that INVADER ZIM creator JHONEN VASQUEZ did way back in the day on books like JOHNNY THE HOMICIDAL MANIAC and SQUEE, so when we saw we'd be getting some NEW material from the man... well, we knew were in for a real treat.
Collecting ALL of the original pain and suffering that is FILLER BUNNY, along with new material to further define the poor rabbit's pain and sorrow, THE COLLECTED WORKS OF FILLER BUNNY is a must-have for anyone who digs the twisted sense of humor that Vasquez brought to the screen with ZIM, and to the page with Nny.
