Folks, we are so totally pumped for RAT QUEENS, and now, it's here -- and we gotta tell you: this is going to be one of your favorite new books of the Fall. We promise you that.
Imagine a the foul-mouthed charm of Tank Girl, the rock-n-roll hip of The Runaways, and the sweeping, fantasy landscapes of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and that sums up RAT QUEENS perfectly.
Gold, Guts & Grog -- 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 gods' creatures for profit.
It's also a darkly comedic fantasy series starring Hannah the Rockabilly Elven Mage, Violet the Hipster Dwarven Fighter, Dee the Atheist Human Cleric, and Betty the Hippy Hobbit Thief.
This modern spin on an old school genre is a violent monster-killing epic that'll remind you of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER meets TANK GIRL in a LORD OF THE RINGS world on crack.
An ongoing series, RAT QUEENS comes to us courtesy of red-hot PETER PANZERFAUST writer KURTIS J. WIEBE, and looks to be one of Image's next breakout hits in the vein of EAST OF WEST, SAGA, MORNING GLORIES, and PETER PANZERFAUST.
Join us on SATURDAY 9/28/13 for a very special RAT QUEENS Release Party featuring the entire creative team of KURTIS J. WIEBE, MEG DEJMAL, and ROC UPCHURCH
Kurtis is returning to Third Eye, and he's making the trip all the way from Canada, along with his RAT QUEENS co-creators MEG DEJMAL and ROC UPCHURCH.
We'll be having the entire team kicking the book off here at Third Eye on Saturday 9/28 11AM-1PM, and we gotta tell you: you're gonna wanna be here for this one.
If you remember how awesome things were at our Peter Panzerfaust signing, and how big that book blew up, then you know that getting a signed copy of RAT QUEENS #1 is a MUST.
PLUS: this is ground zero for one of the biggest IMAGE releases of the Fall, and we're totally honored for Third Eye to be THE destination to kick off the book.
Be one of the first 30 people in line, and get a FREE exclusive print limited to this event, courtesy of Kurtis & the gang!

The intrepid men of the American historical zombie series FUBAR will be participating in a mass signing at Beyond Comics in Frederick, Maryland on Saturday, the 21st of September.
Over eight contributors to this New York Times Best Selling series will be on hand signing and sketching books from 12-4. Included in this lineup of small press commandos are local creators Mike Imboden, Rafer Roberts and John Shine.

FUBAR is an American historical fiction zombie comic book series now into its third volume. The first two volumes, FUBAR European Theater of the Damned, and FUBAR Empire of the Rising Dead, both followed the events of a zombie outbreak in World War II. This third volume, American History Z, spans ALL of American history which should appeal to fans of "The Walking Dead", horror in general and the zombie sub-genre in particular.
