PR: Batman writer Tom King comes to Third Eye Annapolis this Saturday



Meet superstar TOM KING (BATMAN, MISTER MIRACLE, VISION) this Saturday at Third Eye Annapolis!
11AM-2PM!
Signing 11AM-2PM

Govt employee? Show ID and get a free DC Comics Graphic Novel or Comic courtesy of Tom King! - ALL DAY!
Third Eye Faithful, we know we have a lot of you out there who may have loved ones who are impacted by the recent government shutdown, or may be impacted yourselves -- and, we know how sometimes something as simple as an afternoon of good comics, good fun, and good friends can help lighten the week.

Well, when our pal, and all-around amazing comic book writer extraordinaire Tom King reached out to us to let us know he had tons of DC Comics graphic novels he wanted to put in the hands of those affected by the government shutdown -- we dug into the Third Eye vaults, put together a bunch of comics on our end as well -- and together, we're going to be hooking anyone who shows their government ID at Third Eye this Saturday between 11AM-9PM a free graphic novel or comic (while supplies last!)

And, of course, even if you don't have a government ID, you can still come and get your Tom King comics and graphic novels signed!
So, Third Eye Faithful, come on out this Saturday, and spend some time with your Third Eye Fam and Tom King as we deliver an afternoon of pure Third Eye fun!

Read all about Tom King's projects here!

RSVP for our Tom King event on Facebook!

Animezing!: Fireworks
Animezing!: Fireworks
Nominated for Best Animation Film at the 2018 Awards of the Japanese Academy
Producer Genki Kawamura follows up his mega-hit Your Name with another tale of star-crossed teenage lovers with a sci-fi fantasy twist.
Shy Norimichi and fast-talking Yusuke, are goo-goo-eyed over the same elusive classmate, Nazuna. But Nazuna, unhappy over her mother's decision to remarry and leave their countryside town, plans to run away and has secretly chosen Norimichi to accompany her. When things don't go as planned, Norimichi discovers that a glowing multi-color ball found in the sea has the power to reset the clock and give them a second chance to be together. But each reset adds new complications and takes them farther and farther away from the real world – until they risk losing sight of reality altogether.

Fireworks tells a simple story of adolescent longing that taps deep wells of emotion. It is tale of youthful wistfulness, missed opportunities and long-ago dreams, of the urgency of young lovers, and the desire to create a separate universe, a magic place outside of time, where they can be together. 

In Japanese with English subtitles | Rated PG | 2017 | 90 min | Directed by Akiyuki Shinbo & Nobuyuki Takeuchi
