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: *GULP* - People still gulp, right? That deep, hard, uncomfortable swallow at the anticipation of something looming large and foreboding? Well folks, that's what the wave of Marvel comics has me doing this Wednesday! Riding the crest of that illustrated tsunami is of course Infinity #3, written by Jonathan Hickman and for the second time in a row illustrated by Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver (it looks like Jim Cheung makes his return at the series finale). This is still feeling like an important event, grand in scale, rich in drama and Hickman is juggling each and every relevant ball with care and precision. Marvel have certainly done a fine job of picking the respective artists who are delivering some of their finest work and I cannot wait to see what they all give us next. Next on the list would be Savage Wolverine #8 which concludes the 3-part arc by Zeb Wells and Joe Madureira. This has been a joy to read with Wells hitting the target with an adamantium claw when it comes to his depiction of Logan, Madureira clearly being back to his glorious best and I suspect this climax might just verge on the fantastic. Sat surging within the body of the Marvel wall of multicoloured water are also Cable And X-Force #14, Daredevil #31, New Avengers #10, Superior Spider-Man #18, Uncanny X-Men #12 and X-Men Legacy #17 which may better explain my trepidation on the amount of reading ahead of me. That is of course before we get to the rest of the great stuff hitting the shelves and the wealth of stuff from other publishers is not in short supply! I'll be checking out two new titles from Dark Horse with Buzzkill #1, about a superhero whose powers derive from his consumption of alcohol and his efforts to sober up and get on the wagon, and Kiss Me Satan #1 from Victor Gischler, a tale of a demon trying to regain his halo by protecting a witch from a hit order put out on her by a werewolf Mafia boss in New Orleans... bonk-ers!! And then with a host of Image and BOOM! books to pick from I'm looking forward to another chapter of Si Spurrier and Jeff Stokely's magnificent Six-Gun Gorilla which has been a joy to read through three issues so far. Right, time to go get my comic mask and snorkel prepared and get ready for a visual soaking!
