NYX #1 – X-23 gets her own series as part of FROM THE ASHES!!!

RELEASES: NEW COMIC WEDNESDAY 7/24/24

You know us, Third Eye Faithful, one of our fav characters of all-time is X-23, so seeing her getting the spotlight in her own series is definitely one we’re stoked about!

THIS IS NYX! This isn’t a book about X-Men. This is a book about mutants living past the end of their world and into a new beginning. This is MS. MARVEL embracing her mutant life in the neon streets of the Lower East Side.

This is ANOLE trying to keep his head above water. This is WOLVERINE in the shadows of Bushwick, protecting her own. This is PRODIGY writing history as it happens – and SOPHIE CUCKOO finding her own way. The news reports are bleak.

The streets feel dangerous. There’s something lurking underground. Evil coming from every direction. But they’re determined to make it. This is mutant community. This is mutant pride. This is NYX.

House of Brainiac is a six part story that takes place in Action Comics and Superman, and a Superman/Brainiac special one-shot. The “House of Brainiac” storyline will bring about a major confrontation between Superman (and the entire Superman family) Lobo, Brainiac, and the Green Lanterns!!!

GOTHAM’S BIGGEST TWO ICONS GO HEAD TO HEAD IN THE GOTHAM WAR CROSSOVER THIS FALL!

Third Eye Faithful, you know us: we LOVE a good BATMAN story, and even more, we love a big epic BATMAN crossover, and in the vein of classics like NO MAN’S LAND, BATTLE FOR THE COWL, CONTAGION, and many others, we’re about to get a modern classic with GOTHAM WAR!

In GOTHAM WAR, crime is down in Gotham City… Could that be a bad thing?

A coordinated effort in Gotham has led to a reduction in violent crime, but at what cost? Villains scatter as their lives begin to crumble under a new regime.

And as Batman recovers from his epic battle through the Multiverse and the horrors of Knight Terrors, one name runs through his mind.

One name at the heart of this new, safer Gotham…Catwoman. A conflict that’s been brewing for well over a year finally hits the streets, and it will fracture the Bat-Family as war erupts! From bestselling writers Chip Zdarsky and Tini Howard and artists Mike Hawthorne and Adriano Di Benedetto comes the opening shot in the Gotham War!

BATMAN / CATWOMAN: THE GOTHAM WAR SPANS THE ENTIRE BAT-FAMILY! MAKE SURE YOU COLLECT THEM ALL!

Kicking off in AUGUST with the GOTHAM WAR BATTLE LINES one-shot (which you can get signed by superstar artist, MIKE HAWTHORNE, at our ANNAPOLIS location’s BATMAN DAY event on 9/16/23! More info on that here!), GOTHAM WAR will be spanning across many of the BAT-FAMILY titles, and we cannot wait!

Make sure you check out the checklist above, and then if you want to follow the entire crossover, click through to your THIRD EYE PULLBOX account here & add: GOTHAM WAR CROSSOVER (ALL CHAPTERS+TIE-INS)

THE BIGGEST STAR WARS EPIC IN AGES BEGINS THIS SUMMER WITH THE DARK DROIDS CROSSOVER!

Third Eye Faithful, we’re telling you: we’ve loved the last 8 years worth of STAR WARS since Marvel began publishing our favorite GALAXY FAR AWAY!

This Summer, they’re serving up their next big epic, the DARK DROIDS SAGA, which is a PERFECT place for those of you who may not yet have dabbled in Marvel’s STAR WARS line, to jump on and start reading!

This dope new crossover spans the MARVEL Star Wars titles, and brings an interesting new twist to the STAR WARS Universe with a HORROR-inspired take on the STAR WARS mythos as a mysterious new force, potentially a virus, known as THE SCOURGE, begins infecting all the droids, cyborgs, and everything in between in the STAR WARS galaxy!

COLLECT ALL THE SUPER DARK DROIDS VARIANT COVERS WITH YOUR PALS AT THIRD EYE!

This event is a big one, and as such, Marvel has pulled out all the stops to make it extra special, including some seriously rad variant covers!

FIRST THERE WAS SPIDER-VERSE… NOW, GET READY FOR THE VENOMVERSE!

Third Eye Faithful, a few years back, the MARVEL UNIVERSE was changed forever by Dan Slott’s epic SPIDER-VERSE saga, which introduced favorites like SPIDER-GWEN, SPIDER-PUNK & more, and then further established icons like Miles Morales Spider-Man.

Now, they’re bringing the Summer of Symbiotes into full swing with the upcoming DEATH OF VENOMVERSE storyline, which will leave a mark on the Marvel Universe in much the same way, including the highly anticipated debut of a new character known only as KID VENOM (who debuts in DEATH OF VENOMVERSE 2 — and could be a potential rival for the red hot new Spider-Verse debut, Spider-Boy!)

THE END OF THE VENOMVERSE IS HERE!

CULLEN BUNN and GERARDO SANDOVAL reunite to bring the symbiotic ax down on the VENOMVERSE!

CARNAGE has been building his powers up, extracting unique abilities from many villains throughout the MARVEL UNIVERSE to the point of traversing the Multiverse with ONE GOAL: KILL ANY AND ALL VENOMS!

DEATH OF VENOMVERSE will be bringing a ton of exciting new characters into the spotlight, and the biggest is the debut of KID VENOM in DEATH OF VENOMVERSE #2!

This five-part symbiote epic will revolutionize the symbiote mythos as Carnage embarks on a murder spree across the multiverse, hunting down every last symbiote to claim his crown as the new KING IN BLACK. However, this dark tale will have a bright spot as a new symbiote hero emerges amidst Carnage’s chaos—KID VENOM.

Starting in DEATH OF THE VENOMVERSE #2, Kid Venom’s story will be told by in backup stories written and drawn by his creator, acclaimed manga artist Taigami (Unsung Hero)!

Hailing from 10th century Japan, Kintaro will do anything to protect his village from mysterious symbiote attacks, even if it means bonding to a symbiote of his own! As he attaches himself to a new symbiote entity dubbed Clinter, Kintaro embraces his wild new abilities as Kid Venom! But is he in way over his head when Carnage’s fury swings his way?

The biggest thing to hit the DC Universe since DARK NIGHTS METAL begins this Summer in DC Knight Terrors — the first major event to hit the DC Universe in the new DAWN OF DC era!!! Ever wonder what would happen if a FREDDY KRUEGER-style cosmic bad guy invaded the DCU? This is it — and it will forever change the main DC Universe continuity!

NEKRON in BLACKEST NIGHT. DARKSEID in so many epics. The ANTI-MONITOR in CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS. There’s so many classic, bigger-than-life DCU villains that have left their mark, but the newest addition to this lineage, INSOMNIA, may be the one that really takes the cake for awesomeness.

New villain INSOMNIA ushers in the DCU’s heroes and villains worst nightmares, and alters reality itself — Does GOTHAM have an ELM STREET? It might after this!

With INSOMNIA, this cosmic-level villain takes the undead ghoulishness of Nekron resurrecting dead DC heroes and villains, and the BATMAN WHO LAUGHS bringing the DARK MULTIVERSE into play to even more depraved heights as the very psychology of the DC icons we know and love is invaded.

INSOMNIA will be bringing something that’s even more fearsome than the DARK MULTIVERSE itself to the DCU as a whole, as the entire DCU is turned into a nightmare realm that brings the worst fears and anxieties of the DC heroes and villains to the surface.. and leaves many of our favorite characters forever changed.

The next Dawn of DC milestone event takes place in July and August and will feature a host of two-issue miniseries, each spot lighting a DC Super Hero or Super-Villain confronting their worst nightmares in a “Nightmare Realm.” DC is today unveiling details of the main Knight Terrors miniseries as well as all of the superstar creative teams on the Super-Villain miniseries.

Knight Terrors is a miniseries in which Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman find the body of one of their earliest enemies at the Hall of Justice. Their investigation takes them past the land of the living, beyond the land of the dead, into a realm of nightmares . The only way to save the world is to call for the help of an unlikely hero, Deadman.

“I love horror comics, and it’s been a blast bringing the energy to Dawn of DC. Knight Terrors showcases the horror side of our heroes as a brand-new villain confronts them with their worst nightmares,” said Joshua Williamson. “It’s a fun and horrific event that brings together all of the heroes and villains of DC, along with some surprises!”

The main Knight Terrors story will take place over four issues written by Williamson with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli (The Joker), Stefano Nesi and Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots), in which Boston Brand—a.k.a. Deadman—serves as the supernatural tour guide! Following the events of Knight Terrors: First Blood #1, everyone in the world is trapped inside their nightmares, and Batman and Deadman are trying to figure out who Insomnia really is…and why he wants revenge on the heroes of the DC Universe!

KNIGHT TERRORS features some of the dopest variants we’ve seen on comics in a minute — don’t sleep on the special DUSTIN NGUYEN Midnight spot foil variant series, and the dope horror & comic homage covers!

There are SO many vicious variants on the various KNIGHT TERRORS books, but we gotta say: these spot foil DUSTIN NGUYEN Midnight variants may be our favorites!

Browse all the MIDNIGHT variants here!

And, then on top of the MIDNIGHT variants, the above pictured homage covers, to iconic comic covers, horror movie posters, and more are also a must-have!

You can browse the whole assortment of those here

The only way to save the world is to call for the help of an unlikely hero—Deadman! 

Knight Terrors will be a four issue miniseries written by Williamson with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli (The Joker), Stefano Nesi and Caspar Wijngaard (Home Sick Pilots), in which Boston Brand—a.k.a. Deadman—serves as the supernatural tour guide!

The post Third Eye Guide to DC Knight Terrors first appeared on Third Eye Comics & Hobbies.

We’re stoked to be introducing a new part of Team Third Eye with Dan McMahon, who’ll be helping us bring you more great features like this! Dan says it a bit better than us below, but he was one of the very first customers to walk through the doors of Third Eye when we first opened in 2008, and has grown up with Third Eye!

We’re pumped to have him bringing his passion and excitement for seeing people dive into comics!

DC Comics has gone through a number of eras in the past 30 years. I say 30 specifically because I’ve only been around to experience that many.

For 15 of those years, Third Eye Comics has been my home for all nerdy needs which specifically started with an era shift for DC Comics.

The first book that I ever added to a pull list in my life was Grant Morrison’s Final Crisis at the first Third Eye Comics shop.

Since then, I have gone on to create my own nerd site with GateCrashers, worked as a comics features editor for CBR, and now I write about horror comics for FANGORIA.

But through it all, there have been two constants: DC Comics and Third Eye.

I’ve been with the shop through Flashpoint, the New 52, and everything after. So when I tell you that I am beyond excited for the DAWN OF DC, you better believe it.

What is the DAWN OF DC?

The DC Universe is coming out of a tailspin after the events of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths and Lazarus Planet, which both turned the universe on its head and back again. First, Dark Crisis took the Justice League off the playing board and put the legacy characters like Nightwing up against the biggest foes the multiverse has ever seen. Then Lazarus Planet brought the term “when it rains, it pours” to life for the DCU by having a lazarus pit rainfall that messed up a lot of heroes powers and made things tough for everyone.

But now, the sun is back and the DC Universe is entering a new universe with a much different line up than we’ve seen before. We’re getting a ton of new #1’s that are definitely are titles you’ll want to pick up with incredible writers, jaw dropping art teams, and characters you love!

Dawn of New #1s

Superman #1

Superman is back on Earth after being gone for some time during the War World saga over in Action Comics, so it’s time to get back to work. But work for Clark is a little different than us because, well, he’s Superman so he has all of that responsibility. Things are a bit different at his actual job as well because Lois Lane is now the interim editor in chief of the Daily Planet. Along with all of that, Lex Luthor has a few tricks up his sleeve even when he’s behind jail because he’s left a mysterious SUPERCORP for Superman to handle. The art from Jamal Campbell in this issue is breathtaking so you’ll want to make sure you’re picking this up.

Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1

Who doesn’t love a group of weirdo misfits? If you’ve loved the HBO Max DOOM PATROL show, you’re going to want to pick up the team’s latest outing. After the events of Lazarus Planet have activated the metagenes in tons of normal people, many are being treated as outcasts to only be used as guinea pigs or weapons. The Doom Patrol are experts in the outcast department so it’s their job to help out these people as best they can. The team is also joined by two brand-new teammates Beast Girl and Degenerate!

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1

Tom Taylor returns with a new #1 for the son of Superman, Jon Kent! But this book isn’t just about Jon because Val-Zod, the second Superman of Earth 2, has come to Jon for help. Their mission: Stop Ultraman from killing the Supermen of Supermen. We have seen some teasers for this series which includes an electric blue version of Jon which we haven’t seen since his time as part of the Super Sons. If you’ve loved Jon Kent’s journey so far in the DCU, this one is not to be missed.

Superboy, Man of Tomorrow #1

Jon isn’t the only Super boy to be getting his own #1 during the Dawn of DC. Superboy, Conner Kent, is finally getting another comic of his own again! The series was the winner of DC Round Robin 2022 which was a series fans voted to get made. Since Conner made his return to the DC Universe a few years ago, he’s been searching for his place ever since. This series is going to be one about self discovery where Conner looks for his place. Kenny Porter just wrapped his killer series DC Mechs recently so if you loved that, make sure you pick this one up.

Green Arrow #1

Green Arrow is BACK! Well, wait, he kinda is back. After the events of Dark Crisis, Oliver Quinn is back in the DC Universe but he’s lost. The series is going to follow the whole arrow family as they search for Oliver. The series will star Black Canary which is enough to make any long time DC fan pick this one up. But it’s also where we will learn more about one of the breakout star of Dark Crisis, Red Canary and how she is going to fit into the Green Arrow side of DC Comics.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!

That is only 5 of the new #1 series coming in the near future. Next month, I’ll be back to tell you about some of the other series that are to come. From the Titans taking up the reigns as one of the planet’s defenders, to Cyborg getting a new solo series from a creative team from DC’s incredible Milestone Initiative, and so much more. New #1’s are always a great place to jump into a new series to see if they’re going to be something you might enjoy! Next month there will be a lot more to talk about so make sure you let the shop know you want to check these out before we get the next wave!

WHAT’S THE SCOOP ON SINS OF SINISTER #1? 

POWERS OF ESSEX! It’s the end of the world as we know it, and at least Sinister feels fine. For now. Can that last? Especially when we discover that he really is his own worst enemy… The universe-melting X-event begins here, in a horror timeline that makes Age of Apocalypse look like the X-Men Swimsuit Special. Join Kieron Gillen (IMMORTAL X-MEN, AXE: JUDGMENT DAY) as he kicks off the X-Men crossover Sinister has been planning since the beginning?and is going to have to see through to the bitter end.

From the name of the alternate X-Men titles alone, you can tell that future Sinister wants is, well… sinister!

Marvel has teased some of the outcomes of this twisted reality in the recent comic trailer including a Wolverine/Nightcrawler hybrid, a Captain America who’s DNA was spliced with Sinister’s and more! Each of the 3 new series will focus on a dark alternate timeline, starting at 10, then 100, then 1,000 years into this grim future!

And in an interview, series writer Gillen said “by the end of the thousand-year bit, it’s so apocalyptically grim that it’s gone straight into apocalyptically-grimly comic. It’s really horrific, some of the worst stuff that three pretty horrible people can imagine, but it’s got this enormous operatic grandeur to it. It’s a lot.”
And if that doesn’t get you hype for this new series, we don’t know what else to say! Except, expect true evil classic Minister Sinister goodness!
