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: Just like Matt I have my expectations for Inhumanity #1 restrained yet hopeful at this moment as the potential with such a creative team is great, but we just have to see if it all forms one cohesive and attention-grabbing spectacle. The last few time these two collaborated would have been on Mighty Thor and there was plenty of bang for your buck to be seen there, but perhaps that project failed to really reach the heady heights that were promised. Over at BOOM! I'm looking squarely at Six-Gun Gorilla #6 to finish off what has proven to be a wonderful science-fiction tale so far and with a little luck - and fine skill from writer Si Spurrier and artist Jeff Stokely - we should be in for a barnstorming finale there. Joe Casey has been flexing his Image muscles well with Sex and Bounce for that publisher and yet it's his work with Dark Horse at the moment that has me the most intrigued. Catalyst Comix #6 is out this week and through the previous chapters, Casey and his team of artists have managed to build up a detailed and highly varied view of a world turned upon its head following a successfully repelled alien incursion. The three different plot lines that have run fairly separately throughout have all been well written and entertaining and that's no easy feat to accomplish in a series that's only going to be nine issues in length. It's yet to be seen whether they'll all tie up at the very end (or possibly before), but at this point I'd safely say that the whole book has been so good that it hardly matters if they do or not.
