Star Wars returns to Marvel Comics with STAR WARS #1 this Wednesday, paving the road to the canon of EPISODE VII The Force Awakens!
Get ready for the first glimpse into the official Star Wars canon, after the events of A NEW HOPE, as the groundwork for the upcoming new film is laid! The biggest STAR WARS comic release in decades!
It's been decades since Marvel Comics published STAR WARS comics, and while there's no doubt that Dark Horse did terrific things with the license, we gotta say: we are so stoked to see Star Wars returning home in their brand new ongoing STAR WARS monthly series.
Written by THOR & SOUTHERN BASTARDS scribe JASON AARON, with art by the uber-talented JOHN CASSADAY (Astonishing X-Men, Planetary), the brand new STAR WARS ongoing brings the greatest space adventure of all time back to Marvel!
In STAR WARS, Luke Skywalker and the ragtag band of rebels fighting against the galactic empire are fresh off their biggest victory yet -- the destruction of the DEATH STAR.
But, the Empire's not toppld yet! Join Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2, along with the rest of the Rebel Alliance as they strike out for freedom against the evil forces of the Empire!
Picking up immediately after the events of STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE, Star Wars chronicles the crucial stories that happened in between the films -- and with Marvel and Disney having the relationship they do -- you can bet that this one is in-canon, and in continuity!
We are so pumped about this one, Third Eye Faithful, that we can practically hear that legendary cinematic score in our heads as we're writing this.
We've pulled out all the stops to make the debut of issue #1 a super fun event, Third Eye Faithful, so check out what we've got in store below!

Bigby Wolf's back story is revealed in FABLES: THE WOLF AMONG US #1!
A stunning prequel to the long-running hit series!
We're huge fans of the series FABLES, and whenever a spin-off arrives, we're all about it, and this one, Third Eye Faithful, may be the most exciting detour from the FABLES series we've seen yet!
Even before the first issue of FABLES, there were stories to be told, shadowy avenues to explores, and lives hanging in the balance!
Bigby Wolf has seen plenty in his time as Sheriff of Fabletown.. but nothing can prepare him for this: it all starts with a simple domestic disturbance, and becomes so much more.
But, when Bigby learns that his old nemesis, the Woodsman, who still has an axe to grind, is part of the scene, things go downhill fast.
How will Bigby and Snow White keep their heads long enough to crack the case when they get caught up in a grisly murder mystery?
This new prequel, inspired by the hit TELLTALE GAMES series, will show us just that!

You guys know us: we're huge ADVENTURE TIME fans, and we're even bigger MARCELINE fans, so when we saw that the Scream Queen herself would be getting another awesome series from Boom, we had to shout it out!

In trying to save both Ooo and Marceline herself, Princess Bubblegum accidentally propells Marceline into the farthest reaches of space.. and strips her of her powers!

American Vampire Vol.7 Collects the first 5 issues of the new AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SECOND CYCLE series! From the writer of WYTCHES & BATMAN!
Meet AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer SCOTT SNYDER this Saturday 1/17/15 & get your copy signed!
One of our favorite reads over the last few years has been Scott Snyder's amazing AMERICAN VAMPIRE series, and when it relaunched last year with SECOND CYCLE #1, we knew we were in for a treat.
This 7th volume in the AMERICAN VAMPIRE series, collects issues 1-5 of SECOND CYCLE, where we meet Pearl again, but this time during the 1960s in Kansas, an era fraught with fear of nuclear war, angry demonstrations, and vast social change!
But, what has changed for Pearl in the years since the V.M.S attack? And, where is Skinner Sweet?
Start reading AMERICAN VAMPIRE with AMERICAN VAMPIRE VOL.1 TPB
American Vampire ranks up there with LOCKE & KEY as one of the best horror comics of the modern age, and if you haven't yet tried it out, we highly recommend giving it a shot!
In this intriguing tale that reads like Goodfellas or Once Upon A Time in America with vampires, we're introduced to Pearl, a young woman living in 1920s Los Angeles, who is brutally turned into a vampire, and set upon a righteous path of revenge against the European monsters who tortured and abused her.
Meanwhile, we learn the tale of the very first American Vampire, Skinner Sweet, many years prior, during the Old West, as the story of Skinner Sweet is told, and he ends up growing into a central figure who will have a major influence on Pearl.
Taking the concept of each region of the world producing different variations on the vampiric infection, with unique strengths and weaknesses, American Vampire is a fantastic story that spans generations, and blends real world history with the supernatural to tell one heck of a great story.
Meet AMERICAN VAMPIRE writer SCOTT SNYDER this Saturday 1/17/15 at Third Eye!
Don't forget, you can meet the writer of AMERICAN VAMPIRE (along with a bunch of other great stuff) this Saturday at Third Eye & get your AMERICAN VAMPIRES signed!

BOOM STUDIOS delivers their BOOMBOX 2014 Mix Tape anthology collecting all new LUMBERJANES stories, as well as the first ever MUNCHKIN comic!
For the past couple years, Boom Studios has been putting out some awesome books. From BEE AND PUPPYCAT and LUMBERJANES to MIDAS FLESH and DEEP STATE!
So, they've done something very neat, and very unique, by getting a ton of their hottest creators together in one oversized, value-priced volume to deliver an anthology packed with talking hamburgers, misunderstood ghosts, and punk rock grandmas.
If you're loving things like THE MIDAS FLESH, LUMBERJANES, TEEN DOG, and CYANIDE AND HAPPINESS, you need this! PLUS: not only is there new stories from Noelle Stevenson and more, but this also features the first ever MUNCHKIN comic!
Gail Simone & Jim Zub team up to tell the tale of CONAN / RED SONJA in this week's CONAN RED SONJA #1!
Gail Simone? We're huge fans. Jim Zub? We're huge fans. The writer of WAYWARD teams up with the writer of hits like BATGIRL and SECRET SIX to bring Conan and Red Sonja head to head in this limited series.
In a story spanning multiple eras in the lives of these classic characters, Conan and Red Sonja become comrades to take down a sorcerer-priest hell bent on creating a dark new age in Hyborian warfare!
Both Dark Horse and Dynamite have done incredible things with their work on Conan and Red Sonja, and we are stoked to see the two come together!
The next major installment of the unrelenting survival horror epic CROSSED arrives with CROSSED VOL.11 this Wednesday!
We're loving the heck out of Avatar Press's brutal and unrelenting survival horror epic, CROSSED, and in this latest volume, one of our favorite writers, JUSTIN JORDAN (Luther Strode, Spread) takes a crack at the terrifying world of the CROSSED!
What's CROSSED about? Start reading with CROSSED VOL.1
CROSSED has got to be the most shocking, and unrelenting survival horror story we've ever read in ANY medium!
Originally launched by PREACHER writer GARTH ENNIS, the story of CROSSED is a visceral exploration of the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging in once their moral compass is stripped away.
In this saga, a disease reduces those infected to their most evil, most sinister desires, but leaves their ability to plot, plan, and communicate in tact.
With red cross-shaped rashes on their faces, the Crossed are so much more terrifying than a zombie horde, as any skills they had before "crossing" over (i.e using a firearm, flying a plane, etc.) are still in tact and able to be used.
Pure terror all the way through, CROSSED is over-the-top, and if you've never read it, and you love horror comics, you gotta give it a shot!
The fourth volume in the incredible new NEW 52 Flash run arrives in graphic novel with FLASH TP VOL.4 REVERSE!
So, you're loving the FLASH on CW, right? We are too! And, if you're not reading the incredible NEW 52 run of Flash, folks, you have gotta start!
In this volume 4, collecting issues 20-25, along with the special 23.3 REVERSE FLASH one-shot, a Speed-Force killer has left a trail of bodies in his wake, and only Barry has the power to stop him!
But, when the killer stays one step ahead of him, Barry finds himself face to face with the Teen Titans and Kid Flash for the first time, which leads to a confrontation with REVERSE-FLASH!
Start reading THE FLASH with FLASH VOL.1 MOVE FORWARD
Looking for a killer FLASH series to get into? Wanna see the books that inspired the incredible TV series? Start with FLASH VOL.1 MOVE FORWARD, and catch up from there. We've got all the volumes in stock and available, and we're telling you: this is one of the best takes on Barry Allen we've seen yet!

The hit new IMAGE Comics series MANIFEST DESTINY continues with MANIFEST DESTINY VOL.2!
We're loving the heck out of MANIFEST DESTINY, which comes out on WALKING DEAD creator ROBERT KIRKMAN's Image SKYBOUND imprint, and totally lives up to the standard of quality set by books like WALKING DEAD and OUTCAST.
This incredible alternate history take on LEWIS AND CLARK is a horrifying must-read, and we're hooked on each and every installment.
In volume 2, Lewis, Clark, and the surviving members of their expedition continue westward across America, only to learn there is nowhere to run on a river that never ends.

What's it about? In 1804, Captain Meriwether Lewis and Second Lieutenant William Clark set out on an expedition to explore the uncharted American frontier -- and this, this Third Eye Faithful, is the story of what monsters they discovered lurking in the wilds!
An incredible alt-history horror / sci-fi mash-up, MANIFEST DESTINY is a must-read that takes real chapters from the history books and mixes in plenty of zombies, cryptozoological monstrosities, and more, to make for a stunning read!
FANTAGRAPHIC BOOKS delivers the stunning graphic novel biography of Michael Jordan in MICHAEL JORDAN: BULL ON PARADE this Wednesday!
I gotta tell you, Third Eye Faithful, growing up in the '80s and '90s, there is no doubt that Michael Jordan left a mark on us, and we're not just talking about the awesome sneakers we've picked up along the way.
So, when we saw that one of the biggest icons in sports history was getting his story told in our favorite medium, comics and graphic novels, by one of our favorite publishers FANTAGRAPHICS (who have brought us amazing hits ranging from EIGHTBALL to HIP HOP FAMILY TREE and beyond), we knew we had to shout it out!
In this gripping, kinetic bio about the greatest basketball player of all time and most influential athlete in history, we're shown the tale of Jordan's public successes and private struggles, where creator Santiago's passion shines through on every single page.
Everyone at a certain age wanted to be like Mike, and Santiago puts you on the parquet floor of Chicago's United Center in your very own pair of Jordans -- that's how darn good he is at telling this story!
MORTAL KOMBAT returns in the all new MORTAL KOMBAT X #1 this Wednesday!
Speaking of growing up in the '80s and '90s -- holy crap: did we ever love us some MORTAL KOMBAT, and we sure as heck still do!
This week, the titans of terror return in this awesome new series serving as a prequel to the highly anticipated MORTAL KOMBAT X game!
Prepare yourself for the adventures of classic MORTAL KOMBAT faves, like Kano, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden and more, as well as see the first introductions of new Kombatants!
Featuring stellar artwork, and a killer story, this continues the same tradition of quality that DC has demonstrated with their other video game-related comics like INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US.
LEARN THE STORY OF BRAGA IN RAT QUEENS SPECIAL: BRAGA #1
Folks, I have to tell you: we're huge huge huge fans of Image series RAT QUEENS, and we cannot get enough of the incredible sword-and-sorcery meets biting humor that the series brings with each and every issue.
In BRAGA: THE ONCE PRINCE, NOW BASTARD, we're shown a tale prior to Braga's joining the Peaches, where she was destined to become the greatest leader of her people.
But a life changing decision proved too controversial for even her most devout followers.
Now, a former life paved on the bodies of her enemies left behind -- what choice was worth losing everything?
This is a fantastic one-shot that serves as a great way to sample RAT QUEENS and find out why so many of us rave about this book!
Start reading RAT QUEENS with RAT QUEENS VOL.1 SASS & SORCERY FOR ONLY $9.99!
We LOVE RAT QUEENS, and you can snag the first five issues for only $10 with RAT QUEENS VOL.1 SASS & SORCERY!
Who are the RAT QUEENS? A pack of booze-guzzling, death-dealing battle maidens-for-hire, and they're in the business of killing all god's creatures for profit.
It's also a darkly comedic sass-and-sorcery series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric, and Betty the Hippy Smidgen Thief.
This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that reads like Joss Whedon's BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER meets TANK GIRL in a LORD OF THE RINGS-style world.. on crack. Seriously: it's amazing, and you need to read it!
THE NEW SHIELD SERIES CONTINUES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S SHIELD #2 FEATURING A SPECIAL MS. MARVEL STORY W/ ART BY HUMBERTO RAMOS!!
We LOVED the debut issue of SHIELD, which takes inspiration from AGENTS OF SHIELD, while giving us done-in-one stand-alone stories featuring various Marvel characters teaming up with Agent Coulson and his crew, while carrying out a bigger, over-arching storyline at the same time.
So, it's probably no secret that we're totally amped for this week's SHIELD #2, featuring one of our favorite new Marvel characters, the one and only MS. MARVEL!
Why has SHIELD agent JEMMA SIMMONS gone undercover at the Coles Academic High School in Jersey City?
Maybe it has something to do with the all-new MS. MARVEL? And... the most dangerous lunch meal ever served?
Wanna get on board? We've got issue 1 of SHIELD in stock now to catch you up with this week's issue 2.
THANOS VS. HULK Continues with this Wednesday's THANOS VS. HULK #2 by THANOS creator and comics legend JIM STARLIN!!
You know, if you're gonna read a totally rad THANOS story, there's really no better place than the source himself: JIM STARLIN!
And, in this week's THANOS VS HULK #2, the epic tale of SMASH VERSUS SPACE continues!
Can the HULK withstand the devious machinations of THANOS?
And, meanwhile, Annihilus plots to exploit Big, Green and Mean in a most unexpected fashion!
Wanna get on board? We've got issue 1 in stock now to catch you up!
WALKING DEAD #136 HITS THIS WEDNESDAY! What more do you need to know? :)
OK, so by now, you guys know the drill: the less we say about a new WALKING DEAD, the better, because this book is SPOILER-SENSITIVE!
Seriously though, all we can say is one word: FOUND.
