6/19 & 6/22: Comic book signings at 3rd Eye Comics
THIS WEDNESDAY 6/19/13 -- 0-DAY Launch Party WILD BLUE YONDER #1 with special guests MIKE RAICHT (STUFF OF LEGEND), & ZACH HOWARD (THE CAPE)
We first saw pages of WILD BLUE YONDER a couple years ago, one night while hanging out with Mike and the Stuff of Legend crew -- and we were blown away. I told him right then and there: when this comes out, we're doing a Third Eye cover, and we're doing a signing for the book.
Fast forward, and this masterpiece is about to drop from IDW, and we could not be more stoked.
Both Mike Raicht (STUFF OF LEGEND) and Zach Howard (Joe Hill's THE CAPE) alongside Austin Harrison, will be joining us this Wednesday to launch WILD BLUE YONDER at Third Eye.
They'll be in-store at our Annapolis location 11AM-1PM, signing copies of the book, and then in-store at our Southern MD location 4PM-6PM, signing copies of the book.
Make sure to pop in and visit!

THIS SATURDAY 6/22/13: Meet JOE HARRIS (Great Pacific), writer of X-FILES SEASON 10, at our X-FILES SEASON 10 #1 Launch Party!
And, then, this Saturday, we're excited to launch the brand new X-FILES: SEASON 10 comic, with special guest JOE HARRIS, who's the writer on the new series.
This is the highly anticipated, OFFICIAL 10th season to the legendary conspiracy saga, and will be tying up all the loose ends that so many of you X-Philes out there have been waiting to see resolved.
As big X-FILES fans ourselves, we're pretty pumped for this, and cannot wait to see what Joe has in store!
We'll have a special, exclusive THIRD EYE COMICS variant of X-FILES #1 available as well featuring art by the one and only Charles Paul Wilson III.

Tom Spurgeon caught an article in Mother Jones about the use of the Man of Steel Superman movie in National Guard recruitment ads. I should have done something earlier, because I saw one of these posters in Crystal City over a week ago.
Honestly, the themes don't seem to match up.
