New comics are due to hit the shelves on Wednesday so here’s a look ahead at some of the books we’ll be picking up this week. To see what’s available at Paradox this week, click here.

Stewart R: Following the critical acclaim that came from his superb creator-owned effort, Sweet Tooth, much of the focus for this week's releases must surely fall upon Jeff Lemire's latest comic enterprise with Vertigo in the shape of Trillium, a love story set across space and time. Lemire is a proven master when it comes to emotion driven drama and something tells me that this is going to be one science fiction story that isn't afraid to play with the heartstrings. Elsewhere amongst the boxes containing this Wednesday's delivery I will be relishing the chance to get hold of the second chapter of Nick Spencer's Superior Foes Of Spider-Man. The debut was an unexpected gem, mixing an earthy grit with a superb sense of wry humour that I certainly hope is a repeated formula ongoing. On the subject of strong follow ups I've also high expectations for Catalyst Comix #2 from Joe Casey and Dark Horse. Casey is a writer who almost seems to find it second nature to build fictional worlds and I really enjoyed the vaguely overlapping edges of the separate plot threads found in the first issue. With any luck this latest instalment will expand on the characters that we've already been introduced to as well as widening the aperture to show more of such an interesting world.
