Today: The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian #1 Launch Signing with Pornsak Pichetshote in Annapolis

9/25/24 The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian #1 Launch Signing with Pornsak Pichetshote

September 25 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Third Eye Faithful, you know we LOVE bringing the biggest talents in comics to Third Eye, and we are STOKED to welcome back one of our faves, PORNSAK PICHETSHOTE, who many of you know from his incredible work on DEAD BOY DETECTIVES, INFIDEL & THE GOOD ASIAN!!!
Pornsak is launching his epic new line of shared universe heroes under the banner of HORIZON EXPERIMENT, featuring a dope mix of pulp action heroes from all over the world that conjure up vibes very reminiscent of those early DARK HORSE days of characters like HELLBOY, GRENDEL, MAGE, MADMAN & more!
Not quite superhero comics, not quite horror or sci-fi comics, but something uniquely in between, that puts a diverse mix of characters from a diverse roster of superstar talent in the spotlight: the HORIZON EXPERIMENT is going to be one of the most exciting things going at IMAGE COMICS this year, and we are STOKED to kick it off with Pornsak at THIRD EYE ANNAPOLIS on 9/25/24!!!

What's the scoop on MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE? Here's the rundown!

The Horizon Experiment are one-shots created by comics, film, and TV superstars, providing new POVs on popular genres and acting as pilots for new series. It starts with The Manchurian, a Chinese James Bond running covert missions in America for the enemy…

Rafer Roberts' new Kickstarter

A Sound of Thunder Presents Queen of Hell: Initium

Born to serve in Hell, manipulated by Heaven, neither side reckoned on Cecilia's will to forge her own path of destruction!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/asoundofthunder/queen-of-hell


Cecilia was born to serve the demon lord Udoroth. Heaven tried to turn Cecilia against her diabolical nature. But neither side considered how strong-willed Cecilia can be! Once she learns the truth about herself, and about those she thought she knew best, all bets are off. Will Cecilia help Udoroth conquer Heaven? Will she aid the Angelic forces to defeat evil? Or will she forge her own path of destruction...as the Queen of Hell?!
