MARVEL NOW Wave 2: FANTASTIC FOUR returns with the new ongoing FANTASTIC FOUR #1 from EARTH-2 & STARMAN legend JAMES ROBINSON!
Third Eye Faithful, FANTASTIC FOUR is one of those comics that the core concept and idea is so cool, and has so much potential, but often rarely realizes it -- so, when we see a new run begin that looks promising; we really get excited here at the shop.
This new ALL NEW MARVEL NOW riff on FANTASTIC FOUR looks to be the most promising run on the characters since JONATHAN HICKMAN's now-classic run (Available in graphic novel format now), and we cannot wait to get our hands on the first issue this Wednesday.
Featuring the legendary writer, JAMES ROBINSON, who redefined superhero comics in the '90s with STARMAN, and has most recently wowed us with his work on the New 52 EARTH-2 series, and spotlighting the incredible artwork of the highly underrated LEONARD KIRK, the new FANTASTIC FOUR has potential to be one of the best runs on the characters in a while.
In FANTASTIC FOUR #1, the world's greatest comics magazine begins anew with Marvel's First Family, the FANTASTIC FOUR!
But, as the brilliant Mr. Fantastic, the compassionate Invisible Woman, the ever-loving' THING, and the hot-headed Human Torch embark on a strange mission, they aren't met with new beginnings, but an untimely end.
As the family of cosmic explorers head towards their darkest hour, who could possibly be behind their downfall?
And, how is one of their oldest enemies, the sadistic dragon known as Fing-Fang-Foom involved?
Yes, Third Eye Faithful: Fing-Fang-Freakin'-Foom! :)
How cool is this? Robinson channels the over-the-top raw energy and sense of wonder of early Kirby / Lee Fantastic Four, and gives us everything we want to see with these characters and then some.

COMICS LEGEND Gail Simone launches the new TOMB RAIDER comic series this Wednesday in TOMB RAIDER #1
This may date me a bit, but I can still remember playing the very first incarnation of TOMB RAIDER as a kid; after the emphatic urgings of the guy who worked at the video game shop I'd hit after buying comics.
It's crazy to think that was like, almost 20 years ago, but, man, Tomb Raider blew my mind when it first debuted, and I was hooked growing up on all of it's subsequent sequels.
Now, the intriguing and layered world of Lara Croft is being resurrected and brought back into the comic spotlight by one of our favorite comic scribes: Gail Simone, writer of BIRDS OF PREY, BATGIRL, RED SONJA, and much more!
From the same publishers who've brought you the SERENITY and MASS EFFECT comics, the new TOMB RAIDER looks to continue Dark Horse's excellent tradition of delivering quality content from licensed properties.
In TOMB RAIDER #1, this series launches Lara Croft on the formative adventures that will change her life forever -- and serves as the official, in-continuity, canon continuation of Lara Croft's story.
Make sure you snag a copy this Wednesday at Third Eye!

THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN makes a special guest appearance in the highly anticipated WOLVERINE #2 this Wednesday!
What's happened to Wolverine... and why is he more suited to running in the same circles as Superior Spidey now?
Man, how freakin' cool was that first issue of WOLVERINE?? Dude: this is the freshest, most exciting thing they've done with the character that we've seen in quite some time, and we cannot wait to see how it plays out!
Plus: RYAN STEGMAN on art? YES! Personally, Third Eye Faithful, I'm a story guy before I'm an art guy, of course, having both kicking is always good (which is the case here with the new WOLVERINE), but I have to say: Stegman is one of the few guys who I will read whatever he's on due to just how great the man's art is.
Anyhow, this week's WOLVERINE #2 shows us that the new Wolverine has something to prove.
Before he can take on Sabretooth again, he needs to build himself back up, get better and stronger than he's ever been -- but it's not as easy as he thought, and he'll soon find himself turning to other means of revenge when the normal channels don't seem to be working fast enough.
Can Wolverine fight back his demons, or is this the beginning of a Wolverine who's gone to the dark side?
No healing factor. A nasty scar. Logan will whatever it takes to take his vengeance -- and it may put him at odds at his allies at the Xavier Institute.
PLUS: Superior Spider-Man makes a special appearance in this week's issue... and, it's pretty darn interesting, to say the least.

NEW IMAGE HIT BLACK SCIENCE CONTINUES TO HOOK US WITH THIS WEEK'S BLACK SCIENCE #4
This book is so, so, so good! Each issue wraps us up even more in the complex weird science story that RICK REMENDER (FEAR AGENT, DEADLY CLASS) is weaving here.
Plus: the artwork from Matteo Scalera -- oh man, it's out of this world!
In issue #4, Grant McKay and his team of Dimensionauts are given a short reprieve when the Pillar drops them not into a hellish war zone or an alien swampland, but a.. hotel?
Just don't trust the room service; there's more to this place than meets the eye.
This series is so freakin' cool -- imagine the best aspects of old school Wally Wood EC sci-fi stories, new school Doctor Who clever plot twists, and a heavy dose of weird, Lovecraftian horror, and that sums up BLACK SCIENCE.
What's it about? Grant McKay, former member of the Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality. But what lies beyond the veil is not epiphany, but chaos. Now Grant and his team are lost, living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds, barreling through the long-forgotten, ancient, and unimaginable dark realms. The only way is forward. The only question is how far are they willing to go, and how much can they endure, to get home again?
This is MUST-READ stuff, Third Eye Faithful.

ALL NEW X-MEN and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY have been two of our favorite Marvel titles for the last year, so when we saw the two crossing paths, we knew: this will be awesome.
And, folks: it is awesome.
In The TRIAL OF JEAN GREY, young Jean Grey is being put on trial by a whole mess of different planets for the crimes that her future self went on to commit as the Dark Phoenix.
Problem is: like all of the ALL NEW X-MEN, this is a Jean who's several years from going on to do the horrible things that they want to put her on trial for -- and the Guardians and the X-Men are the only thing that are going to keep her from paying for crimes she has yet to commit.
And, in this week's Guardians, a very surprising ally from one character's past comes to help: and we think you'll be pretty stoked to see who it is.
Wanna get into it? We've got the first 3 chapters (ALL NEW X-MEN 22, GUARDIANS 11, and ALL NEW X-MEN 23) in stock now to get you up to date!

So, every month, just like with DC's BATMAN, we rave and we rant about how SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN is the one Marvel book you need to not be missing -- and folks, we're not stopping anytime soon.

HAWKEYE #15 ARRIVES THIS WEDNESDAY (yes, after #16!) and delivers more HAWKEYE goodness this week!
So, last month, there was a bit of weirdness involving HAWKEYE 16 and 15. See, HAWKEYE 16 was deliberately shipped ahead of 15 by Marvel -- due to the fact that the storyline events of 16 technically.. take place before those of 15. :)
So, if you've been wondering where the heck 15 is? Here it comes, Third Eye Faithful, and we cannot wait, as we love the heck out of this series!
The brothers Barrton double down against the bad guys as the Clown lays siege to their building. Can Hawkguy keep everyone safe against a killer nobody's even seen yet?

As Mark inherits his father's powers, and learns how to control them, things quickly take a darker turn -- and this book becomes the best thing done in superhero comics in years.
Just like with WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE uses strong characters, stellar writing, and surprising plot twists to keep you hooked all the way through.
