Join us Saturday for a

Store Signing! Damian Wampler Creator of Sevara !

Saturday , JULY 19th from 12pm to 2pm!!   We will have copies of the book at the store for you to pick up and get signed by Damian! As well we will do giveaways of Sevara Posters and Trading cards for people that stop in! What Sevara is about: Sevara issue #0 is a 22 page full color comic book created by Damian Wampler, drawn by Andre Siregar, colored Anang Setyawan, and lettered by Steve Wands.   Sevara was a mortal girl, raised in an orphanage with no memory of her parents. A geneticist named Alta found Sevara and took her in, eventually giving her the secrets of immortality and shape-shifting. Together, they guided civilization towards peace. But after centuries of fighting, Alta's immortal warriors vowed to give up their memories and their powers so that humanity can hit the reset button. After a thousand year sleep, all of them keep their promise...except Sevara.      ABOUT Damian Wampler: Writer and Creator Damian Wampler: "I was born and raised across the street from the University of Delaware. My art is inspired by my cultural experiences traveling throughout Central Asia as an English teacher, researcher, and NGO development worker. I studied theater in college and wrote and produced my play, Twin Towers, in New York City in 2009, but when family life and overseas living made producing my next play Sevara impossible, I rewrote it as a comic book script and started searching for an artist and a publisher. Many years latter, here I am with the incredible talents of Andre Siregar and Anang Setyawan, and the generous support of Broken Icon Comics."

July 19: Duane Swierczynski at Third Eye Comics

Meet DUANE SWIERCZYNSKI, writer of DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE, this Saturday!

So, by now, I think it's safe to say: Third Eye is home to many a DEADPOOL fan, right? And, with that being said, when we saw that one of our favorite writers in comics, Duane Swierczynski, was going to be taking the Merc with a Mouth back to his roots in the upcoming DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE... well, we knew we had to do something special, right?

 

So, we were lucky enough to get Duane to make a special trip to Third Eye on Saturday 7/19 to sign copies of his brand new DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE series, as well as his other incredible work on series like Valiant's BLOODSHOT, and IDW's current run of JUDGE DREDD.

 

So, what's up with DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE? Folks, it's big guns, big pouches, and big action, as the Merc with a Mouth goes toe-to-toe with the band of militant mutants who helped bring him to prominence.

 

Journey back to the long-forgotten days of the 1990s, as Deadpool is jumping around the time stream, running amok, and the X-Force must chase after him before he destroys all of American history for good.

 

Join Cable and his band of mutants they hunt Deadpool through the annals of American History before he can alter the space-time continuum as we know it. Can they stop him in time? That's what we're going to find out in DEADPOOL VS. X-FORCE!

 

Folks: this is going to be so much fun. Duane has written a pure love letter to '90s-era comics, as the series walks the fine line of telling one kick-ass action tale mixed with the kind of humor that only DEADPOOL can bring, all the while poking fun at some of the more ridiculous aspects of the '90s Marvel era.

 

If you grew up with a foil cover in your collection, we think you need this comic in your stack, trust us!
