So, if you're a fan of stuff like SAILOR MOON, MADOKA MAGIKA, or POWERPUFF GIRLS, then you're gonna love BEE AND PUPPYCAT!

This fresh spin on the world of the Spirit of Vengeance is one of the best of the bunch in the MARVEL NOW books, and we're loving every second of it.

Tradd Moore of LUTHER STRODE delivers artwork so unique and so full of energy that it practically explodes off the page, and the storytelling of writer Felipe Smith makes the book a compelling can't put down kinda read.

JONATHAN HICKMAN of EAST OF WEST, PAX ROMANA, MANHATTAN PROJECTS and more DELIVERS GOD IS DEAD VOLUME 1 TRADE PAPERBACK THIS WEDNESDAY!

Watch as the gods and goddess of Greek, Roman, Nordic, and Egyptian myth unleash their fury on mankind!

We're HUGE fans of Jonathan Hickman and his work on series like MANHATTAN PROJECTS and EAST OF WEST, so when we saw he'd be doing something with AVATAR PRESS, the publishers of CROSSED & NEONOMICON, we knew were in for a treat.

Like a thunderbolt from heaven, the epic first volume of JONATHAN HICKMAN's God is Dead is here! Mankind has argued over the existence of gods since the dawn of time.

In modern eras it's been fashionable to mock religious believers with taunts of scientific testimony and fact.

But when the gods of old begin to reappear on earth and claim the domain of man for their own, the world is thrown into a state of utter anarchy.

Now Horus walks the streets of Egypt, Zeus has taken over the Sistine Chapel, and Odin is coordinating the dissection of the earth among the returned deities.

Mankind held sway over the world for thousands of years and their hubris over that time has made them powerful but when faced with the divine, can mortal weapons put an end to the second coming of the gods?

As the world tumbles toward apocalypse, a group of scientists seek to do the impossible, give birth to the gods of science.

ANDRE THE GIANT: LIFE AND LEGEND Graphic Novel tells the life story of ANDRE THE GIANT!

Oh my god. This looks so freakin' cool! Do not miss out on this, Third Eye Faithful!

Andre Roussimoff is known as both the lovable giant in The Princess Bride and a heroic pro-wrestling figure.

He was a normal guy who'd been dealt an extraordinary hand in life.

At his peak, he weighed 500 pounds and stood nearly seven and a half feet tall. But the huge stature that made his fame also signed his death warrant.

Box Brown brings his great talents as a cartoonist and biographer to this phenomenal new graphic novel.

Drawing from historical records about Andre's life as well as a wealth of anecdotes from his colleagues in the wrestling world, including Hulk Hogan, and his film co-stars, Brown has created in Andre the Giant, the first substantive biography of one of the twentieth century's most recognizable figures.

AQUAMAN VOL.4 DEATH OF A KING CONTINUES THE EPIC GEOFF JOHNS RUN OF AQUAMAN!

  

GEOFF JOHNS did an amazing job with his work on AQUAMAN, and we cannot recommend it enough. By far, the AQUAMAN stuff Johns did is some of the best NEW 52 work on the stands, and if you've yet to read it, all we can say now is: DO IT.

I know what you're thinking: AQUAMAN? Really? But, seriously: that's half the appeal. Johns addresses and acknowledges the general perception of the character, and then reminds us: this guy is the king of the seas, and he's pretty badass because of it.

Unfolding from the events of THRONE OF ATLANTIS comes a mystery that sends AQUAMAN to the ends of the Earth to solve an ancient murder -- one that will reveal a horrific truth and threaten those closest to him today!

Plus, as the Scavenger compiles more Atlantean weaponry and artifacts, Aquaman enlists the aid of the Others to help find one missing relic in the Southwestern United States before his enemies can get to it and possess untold power.

Collecting issues 17-25 of AQUAMAN, this is a must-have!

And if they go, where they will go? And does that mean they leave their undead pals'n'gals behind forever?

This Week's Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 12/11/13

DEAD BODY ROAD #1 DEBUTS THIS WEDNESDAY FROM LUTHER STRODE Writer JUSTIN JORDAN

Meet JUSTIN JORDAN this Saturday at our DEAD BODY ROAD #1 Launch Party!

Folks, many of you know that we're huge fans of Justin Jordan's work on the STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE & the LEGEND OF LUTHER STRODE.

This incredible new piece of work from Justin Jordan and the incredibly talented Matteo Scalara (BLACK SCIENCE) is one of our most anticipated IMAGE titles of the winter, and we cannot wait to see how it turns out.

The base concept around DEAD BODY ROAD is very reminiscent of a '70s revenge flick: man's family is killed, he swears to enact vengeance, and fro there, we get one hell of a trip.

Imagine the Punisher -- if written by the man who brought you LUTHER STRODE. Sounds awesome? Yeah, we thought so!

The men involved in Gage's wife's death must pay, and if it turns him into a monster himself -- then so be it.

Emotionally and mentally drained, there's no elaborate plan for Gage, just one mission: revenge!

We don't want to give too much away, but folks: this is THE best revenge story we've seen done in comics since Garth Ennis's work on PUNISHER MAX.

There's so many interesting characters who're lurking beneath the surface of the story, and you can just tell that by the time this mini-series concludes, the roles of many characters will have changed drastically.

One part QUENTIN TARANTINO, one part THE PUNISHER, DEAD BODY ROAD lives up to the high expectations that we had for it, and we think you're going to love it.

Meet DEAD BODY ROAD & LUTHER STRODE writer JUSTIN JORDAN this Saturday at Third Eye!

This Saturday, Justin is returning to Third Eye to help us kick off the release of his brand new series, and we're totally stoked to have him here.

Make sure to bring your Strode issues in, as well as snag a copy of DEAD BODY ROAD, to get signed by the man himself between 11AM-1PM this weekend.

THE BEST BATMAN RUN IN AGES CONTINUES WITH THIS WEDNESDAY'S BATMAN #26 *ZERO YEAR* -- YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE RIDDLER THIS VICIOUS BEFORE!

For over two years, we've raved and ranted every month about how freakin' good this title has been -- with Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo absolutely crushing it on each and every story arc, and folks: that's not changing anytime soon -- BATMAN is still the best DC Comics book on the stands.

Capullo is defining himself as THE Batman artist of this decade, and Snyder's well-crafted storytelling makes each and every issue a masterpiece.

This week's issue #26 continues the events of ZERO YEAR, as GOTHAM CITY is thrown into total chaos by the Riddler, and Batman must work alongside a young Jim Gordon to keep everything from falling too far into disarray.

ZERO YEAR has been one of the coolest of the arcs so far, with it's first chapter kicking off in issue #21, and rolling from there -- showing us a crucial look at the very first year of BATMAN working in Gotham City, as well as many of the major events that shaped the Dark Knight, it really is one of the best things to come out of DC in a long time.

Wanna get on board with the Capullo & Snyder stuff? You can either start where ZERO YEAR begins with issue #21, or you can go all the way back to the beginning (which we recommend 'cause of how awesome the whole run has been) with the BATMAN: COURT OF OWLS graphic novel, collecting issues 1-7 of the series into one volume.

From there, we can catch you up with the next two graphic novels, and then all the single issues leading up to this week's BATMAN #26.

KRAMPUS #1 -- Santa Clause's evil counter-part takes center stage in this all new IMAGE COMICS series!

But, when the source of their power is stolen, a desperate Society turns to an unusual source for help: the dreaded KRAMPUS, child-punishing demon of holiday lore.

Free of his cell for the first time in decades, will the Krampus uncover the truth behind the Santas' depowering or leave his jailers to their ultimate fate?

It's Snake Plissken by way of the Grinch as the darkly comedic adventure begins here.

Third Eye Faithful, I gotta say: this one was a real blast, and we're all for more KRAMPUS in pop culture -- so, make sure you give this one a look this Wednesday.

We're loving the way that INHUMANITY is looking to shape up, and cannot wait to see how it plays out in the pages of INHUMANITY: AWAKENING this week.

THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE SURVIVAL HORROR EPIC CROSSED ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY WITH CROSSED VOL.7 TPB

Avatar Press has done an incredible job of keeping their flagship survival horror series CROSSED as fresh and interesting today as it was when it first launched.

Never read CROSSED? It's not for the faint of heart -- this is quite possibly the most disturbing, and horrific comic on the stands today. Imagine an epidemic ala zombie plague infecting most of the planet -- but instead of the dead re-animating as brain-starved ghouls; it turns people into engines of pure evil and destruction.

The scariest part about the CROSSED? They still retain all of their natural abilities to plan, plot and coordinate strategies on how to inflict the maximum damage to everything and everyone around them.

In this week's CROSSED VOL.7, the unrelenting horror continues, as we're shown a tale of betrayal where one of the survivors betrays his own kind to live among the Crossed.

POLARITY VOLUME 1 FROM SAY ANYTHING'S MAX BEMIS ARRIVES IN GRAPHIC NOVEL THIS WEDNESDAY

SAY ANYTHING Frontman MAX BEMIS delivered one of the coolest little mini-series of 2013, and we're totally stoked to see it arriving in graphic novel this year.

A must for fans of books like STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE, this combination of a very personal story with a completely fresh take on super powers will have you hooked right from the first page and onwards.

What if having super powers meant losing your mind? Tim Woods is a bipolar artist stuck in the world of hipsters, meaningless sex, and vain art -- better known as Brooklyn. But, after he survives a near fatal car accident, Tim discovers that his mental instability is more than just a disorder, and that his bipolar medication hasn't just been subduing his manic depression; it's been suppressing his super-powers as well.

Super awesome stuff; we highly recommend snagging a copy of POLARITY this week!

BEFORE HAWKEYE, MATT FRACTION & DAVID AJA WOWED US WITH IRON FIST! NOW, GET THE ENTIRE RUN WITH THE IMMORTAL IRON FIST COMPLETE COLLECTION VOL.1 TP

We know that a ton of you guys are huge fans of the current HAWKEYE run, and we gotta say, we are too! But, you wanna know how we really knew that HAWKEYE run was gonna kick so much ass?

Creators Fraction & Aja's previous work on the IMMORTAL IRON FIST.

Seriously, one of the best runs of the 2000s, IMMORTAL IRON FIST was such a cool title, and in a weird way, paved the way for a book like HAWKEYE.

In this gorgeous, deluxe trade paperback collection, Iron Fist is reinvented, steeped in legends and fables stretching back through the centuries.

Orphaned as a child and raised in the lost city of K'un Lun, Danny Rand returned to America as the mystical martial artist IRON FIST -- but all his kung-fu skills can't help him find his place in the modern world.

After learning the legacy of the Iron Fist holds more secrets than he ever dreamed, Danny is invited to fight in a tournament against the Immortal Weapons -- other wielders of the Iron Fist's unique abilities.

And, the prize? the legacy of his father and mentor, the life of his friend --- and the future of K'un Lun.

Imagine everything that you love about good kung-fu movies, fighting games, and the current HAWKEYE series rolled into one awesome comic, and that, Third Eye Faithful, is the IMMORTAL IRON FIST.
