| What is THE ANSWER? A must-read for fans of series like HELLBOY, LOBSTER JOHNSON, MADMAN, and more, THE ANSWER is a fantastic new pulp hero book from DARK HORSE COMICS that really brings a modern edge to the superhero genre. Written by AVENGERS ARENA and CABLE AND X-FORCE writer DENNIS HOPELESS, and illustrated by REVIVAL artist MIKE NORTON, the ANSWER features a woman named Devin McKenzie, who happens to be an insomniac librarian with a knack for solving puzzles. And, The Answer!, is a masked crime fighter with a giant exclamation point on his face. Aside from a penchant for late nights, they share nothing in common... until both become embroiled in a deadly mystery surrounding a sinister motivational speaker. Quirky, compelling, and well-done, this is exactly how you'd envision a creator-owned superhero book from the artist who's brought us the twisted crime/horror hybrid REVIVAL. Make sure you snag yourself a copy tomorrow, and get it signed by Dennis and Mike! ALSO from DENNIS HOPELESS AVENGERS ARENA One of the many reasons why we're totally pumped about this in-store event is the fact that we've been totally loving Dennis's work on the controversial new MARVEL NOW series AVENGERS ARENA. This series has really turned into a hit for Marvel, starting out as a cult favorite with a neat concept, and picking up steam into a truly unique, and cutting-edge take on the young heroes of the Marvel Universe. What's the hook on this? Imagine BATTLE ROYALE or THE HUNGER GAMES, but set in the MARVEL UNIVERSE, with the kids of AVENGERS ACADEMY and THE RUNAWAYS being dropped on booby-trapped island by the murderous ARCADE. Now, to survive, they must KILL EACH OTHER. And, folks, we're not kidding, we've already seen character deaths galore, and it's only been three issues! This is a must-read, and we're totally stoked to have the opportunity to have Dennis in store to sign copies of issues 1-3. Wanna get caught up? We've got AVENGERS ARENA #1-3 in stock now, and available at the signing to get you up to speed.
ALSO BY MIKE NORTON: REVIVAL TPB VOL.1 YOU'RE AMONG FRIENDS REVIVAL is one of our big store favorites here, Third Eye Faithful, and we're totally pumped to have artist MIKE NORTON in store to sign copies of both the single issues of REVIVAL, and the trade paperback, collecting issues 1-5.
This incredible new IMAGE series came out of nowhere during the Summer of 2012, and totally took everyone by surprise, and now ranks as one of IMAGE's biggest hits of 2012.
What's it all about? For one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now it's up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them.
In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress must solve a brutal murder, and everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.
Folks: this is a smart book. Imagine FARGO meets PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, it's an eerie, crime story with a fascinating look at the living dead that's never been before seen.
It's a great follow-up for those of you who're waiting on the next volume of WALKING DEAD, or if you just enjoy great comics, like Image's own SAGA, this is for you.
Mike's art on the series is killer, and really brings the story to life in a major way, that helps capture the isolation, and everyday creepiness of the small Wisconsin town it's set in.
Don't miss this great opportunity to get your copy of REVIVAL signed by the artist and co-creat of the series!
ALSO BY DENNIS HOPELESS: CABLE AND X-FORCE Not only is Dennis totally killing it for Marvel with their incredible AVENGERS ARENA series, but he's also kicking all kinds of ass on the nostalgia-heavy CABLE AND THE X-FORCE, which is the raddest take we've seen on CABLE in quite some time.
In Dennis Hopeless's CABLE AND X-FORCE, Cable has returned, and he's got a new X-Force at his side to tackle the threats that nobody else can know about.
Who are Cable's new recruits? Domino. Forge. Dr. Nemesis. Colossus. I mean, this is a freakin' dream team for anyone who came up with X-Men comics in the '90s, right?
And, why are the new recruits of X-Force seen as public enemy number one? Caught red-handed at the scene of a terrorist attack on a major American corporation whose CEO expressed anti-mutant views, the X-Force is on the run, with none other than the Uncanny Avengers in hot pursuit.
This book is killer; it's got a great flow to it, and it recaptures everything you loved about the original X-Force way back in the day.
Plus: Salvador Larocca's artwork looks INCREDIBLE, and adds a great kinetic visual to the solid storytelling that Dennis lays out here.
Dennis will be signing copies of CABLE AND X-FORCE tomorrow at Third Eye, and we've got plenty of issues 1-3 in stock and available now to get you all caught up.
ALSO BY MIKE NORTON: YOUNG AVENGERS
Not only does Mike have a huge book dropping this week with THE ANSWER, but he's also kicking off the brand new MARVEL NOW launch of THE YOUNG AVENGERS this week, and we couldn't be more pumped.
Written by Third Eye favorite, JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY's KIERON GILLEN, the YOUNG AVENGERS is the kind of innovative, fresh MARVEL book that we think really demonstrates how killer their new MARVEL NOW direction is. It's the kind of book that you need to be reading if you're a major fan of series like SAGA, MORNING GLORIES, or Brian K. Vaughan's RUNAWAYS.
In YOUNG AVENGERS, legacy isn't a dirty word -- just an irrelevant one. It's not important what their parents did, it matters what THEY do. Someone has to save the world; they're someone. Do the math.
The critically acclaimed writing of KIERON GILLEN, who turned JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY into a major cult favorite featuring the exploits of KID LOKI, has reinvented the teen superhero comic for the 21st century, uniting Wiccan, Hulkling, and Hawkeye with Kid Loki, Marvel Boy, and Ms. America.
No pressure. Young Avengers is a NOW! as the air in your lungs, and twice as vital. It's the book that serves up the hype, and then lives up to it tenfold.
Folks, this is a killer book, and is definitely on it's way to being the next big sleeper hit of the MARVEL U. You know you jumped onto Hawkeye and Daredevil late, don't make the mistake here. We're telling you right now: this is going to be one of the best new books of 2013.
Mike handles art chores on YOUNG AVENGERS, and will be in-store this Saturday signing copies of the book. We'll have plenty of copies in stock, and available to get you hooked up.
ALSO BY DENNIS HOPELESS: LOVESTRUCK We're huge fans of LOVESTRUCK, and consider it to be one of the raddest little books IMAGE has put out in the last few years. Admittedly, we have a soft spot for the book, as the release party for this last year with Dennis Hopeless and Kevin Mellon was one of our favorite in-store events.
But, seriously, if you've yet to give LOVESTRUCK a shot, folks, then definitely do yourselves a favor and check it out this weekend, so you can get Dennis to sign you a copy.
In LOVESTRUCK, there's no boy meets girl or star-crossed soulmates. Love is a billion-dollar industry. Cupid's the megalomaniac CEO. And Kali Monroe gets paid to break your heart. Love is all around us. And, these, Third Eye Faithful, are the jerks who control it.
LOVESTRUCK's a blast, folks. I mean, if you took Bill Willingham's FABLES, and ran it through CBGB's and Max's Kansas City circa the '70s, you'd get LOVESTRUCK.
A world where the Ramones are seen as spiritual figures; where old gods don't die, they just grow more and more jaded; and the lost mortals are caught in their crossfire.
We'll have plenty of copies available tomorrow, and Dennis will be happy to sign one for you.
