Here we go with an exclusive look at the upcoming special St. Patrick’s Day variant cover for Top Cow Comics’ IXth Generation #3. IXth Generation #3 is written by Matt Hawkins with art by Stjepan Sejic. This special cover is by Linda Sejic.

For those not in the know, IXth Generation unites Top Cow’s Cyberforce and Aphrodite IX characters with their more mystical side like The Darkness. In issue #3, the Darkness comes calling on our heroes and you’ll have to read to see how they deal with it.

IXth Generation #3 is out March 18, 2015, so keep a look out for it. In the meantime, check out our exclusive reveal of the St. Patrick’s Day cover here below.

Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: Children recreate The Beastie Boys video “Sabotage,” Batman teams up with Mountain Dew, Karen Gillan aka Amy Pond of Doctor Who talks Inspector Spacetime, a supercut of all the gear-shifting scenes from the Fast & Furious movie, and a Darth Vader USB Port Hub that someone really needs to get for me, plus Bits Of Doom.
