Welcome to another edition of Comics Corner! This week's installment is going to be the start of something a little different. Always looking for lesser-known titles to spotlight, I asked the folks at Third Eye Comics to contribute their recommendations. We'll be combining their choices with our weekly picks to give you some options that are really cool and different. Curse of Brimstone #3 from DC Comics kicks things off today. Also: Spawn #286, The Walking Dead #180, Paper Girls #21, Dark Ark #7, Moonstruck #6, The Beauty Vol.4, and Gideon Falls #3.
Curse of Brimstone #3: "It’s tragic enough that Brimstone’s town was set on fire by his own hands, but now…his father?! Turning Joe into Brimstone was just for fun—the Salesman now holds Joe’s father hostage as well! Brimstone must fight the Salesman’s ice Creaturess, the Hound, to save his father from her clutches. But without knowing exactly what his fiery powers wield, how can Brimstone be sure he won’t accidentally destroy another town…or himself?

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
