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: As seems to be the norm these days there are a couple of Image debuts hitting shelves around the globe this Wednesday and I'll be checking them out. I wasn't particularly taken by Rebel Blood by Riley Rossmo and Alex Link, opting to bale out before the four-part series ended, but I'm willing to give this creative team another go with their new book Drumheller. It features a paranormal detective lists werewolves, demons and an ex-girlfriend as important elements and Rossmo's art work only seems to get stronger and stronger so I'll give it the once over for sure. Then there's Alex + Ada #1 from Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughan. It looks set to be a near-future science fiction tale predominantly focusing on artificial intelligence, self awareness and the human heart as well as potentially the darker side of all of those things from the preview pages released so far. When it comes to Vertigo's work I need to catch up on two issues of Trillium before diving into #4 this week - that trip away in October caused a back log I'm still struggling to clear - but thankfully I'm up to date and certainly ready for Ian Edginton's Hinterkind #2. That first issue was a barrel-full of fantasy and survivalist fun and I'm very keen to see where things lead with that one. It's a quiet week for me Marvel-wise as X-Men Legacy #19 is the only sure thing to make my pull-list and I'm not convinced that I'll be picking up Amazing X-Men #1. I'm just so utterly underwhelmed and disappointed by many of the X-books at present and disliking the influence that Bendis-made decisions are having as they ripple through this corner of what was a fine universe, disrupting everything in their path!

I hold my hands up, shame-faced! I initially miscredited Amazing X-Men to Brian Wood, not Jason Aaron! It has now been corrected and I'm now off to enrol myself into amateur editorial school again!
