This Week’s Highlights at Third Eye Comics for Wednesday 4/13/22

Return to the SANDMAN UNIVERSE with huge FIRST APPEARANCES in NIGHTMARE COUNTRY #1 by writer JAMES TYNION IV!

 

2022 is going to be the year of SANDMAN! With the new Netflix show premiering and this brand new DC Black Label series, it’s a great time to be a Sandman fan! And there’s no one better to be writing this next chapter in the world of Sandman than horror writer JAMES TYNION! This series is what inspired James to begin writing comics and we’re beyond hyped to see what he does with such an expansive and iconic series. And this epic first issue will feature the FIRST APPEARANCES of two new characters of Tynion’s creation, MR. AGONY and MR. ECSTASY!

 

Sometimes, nightmares walk the Earth. Every night when you sleep, the Lord of Dreams chooses the path you’ll follow…into a sylvan Elysium, or down the hallways of your darkest fears. And sometimes, if it is Dream’s will, those nightmares escape those halls, and go out into the world. But it is not a choice he makes lightly.

 

Today the Corinthian walks the Earth again. The most feared of all Dream’s nightmares, his ravenous mouths have made him a legend among serial killers. Letting the Corinthian out among mortals is the most dangerous thing Dream could possibly do. But he has no choice-because there is another nightmare walking the Earth, one that must be hunted…and this monster is one that Dream, lord of all nightmares, did not make. Horror-comics superstar James Tynion IV has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today-and that time has come!

 

Designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC’s library, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is a terrify-ing travelogue through a nation recognizable and obscene, which will show you things seen in no Sandman series ever before-with spectacular art by Lisandro Estherren (Redneck, Strange Skies Over East Berlin) and “nightmare” sequences by comics art all-stars, starting with the incredible Yanick Paquette!

 

 

And don’t sleep on this epic cover B by Yanick Paquette that features Dream and Corinthian!

Geoff Johns picks up his iconic Flashpoint story where we last left off back in 2011 and Thomas Wayne is back?!

 

In the original Flashpoint series, Barry Allen wakes up in a familiar but different world, people who should be dead are alive, loved ones are now strangers, and where is the Justice League? And one of the most iconic characters to come out of this world of Flashpoint was Thomas Wayne’s iteration of Batman! If you haven’t read Flashpoint you truly should experience this iconic run! But DC has reprinted some essential reading for the new Flashpoint Beyond series last week with the Flashpoint Batman Knight of Vengeance! This reprinted mini-series that was a tie-in to the original Flashpoint will give you all the context you need on Thomas Wayne’s character in this alternate universe so you can jump on to this epic new series!

 

The world of Flashpoint returns! After sacrificing everything to help the Flash put the universe back together and save Bruce Wayne’s life, Thomas Wayne wakes up in a world he thought was no more. Forced to don the cowl once again, Batman prowls the streets of Gotham searching for answers to how this world still exists, but what he starts to uncover will send him hurtling around the globe. The hunt for the Clockwork Killer starts here! Legendary writer Geoff Johns comes back to the alternate world he created, partnering with prolific artist Eduardo Risso as he returns to the Flashpoint Batman!
