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: Like Matt, it's yet another week dominated by Image for me with Pretty Deadly #1 and Velvet #1 being the new crackers in the pack that also includes second helpings of Sex Criminals and Rat Queens. Rounding off the Image love will be Joe Casey's The Bounce #6 and Joe Harris's Great Pacific #11 which has been on something of a rollercoaster of affection with this reviewer. On occasion it has seemed to lack a clear direction or has waited a little too long to deliver the reveal, yet it has an overriding premise that I just can't seem to resist. I love 'world building' stories and the idea of founding a nation atop an island of plastic waste in the middle of the Atlantic has so much darn potential to it! Despite an artist change I'm going to be sticking with Indestructible Hulk for now as a quick Google Images search for Kim Jacinto's work shows that it's quite a comparable fit to the mighty Matteo Scalera who had done a fine job on this title in recent months. Mark Waid's writing for Hulk and Banner is not quite up there with his Daredevil work, but Banner's uneasy relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. still enthralls and amuses in equal measure. My punt of the week is going on Renegade Publishing's newest miniseries from the head and hands of 2000 AD regulars Gordon Rennie and P J Holden. Department Of Monsterology is a four-part series dealing with, yes, you've guessed it, an organisation tackling monsters around the globe! It seems that this book will be following two separate teams tackling different problems so i'm interested to see how their stories marry up.
