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: The big finale of the fine BOOM! series from the mind of Paul Jenkins and hand of Carlos Magno lands in comic stores this Wednesday and in Deathmatch #12 the 'winner' - though for all that has put on the line, that term is incredibly relative - will be decided as the combatants are pitched against each other in one final brawl to the sombre end. It's been a fantastic ride and at this point I can only hope that Jenkins sows the seeds of further stories to come from this engrossing universe. Like Matt, I'm looking forward to seeing what Justin Jordan (Green Lantern: New Guardians) and Matteo Scalera (Indestructible Hulk, Secret Avengers) can bring to their own creator-owned title at Image with Dead Body Road #1. I've now taken a look at the solicitations for upcoming Uncanny X-Men issues and decided that now's the time to leave that $3.99 book and find another place to invest the funds. This particular week it looks like the bucks will be rolling into IDW's pockets as I'm going to give Indestructible #1 a try. The spiel about a celebrity obsessed world that sets its sights on a guy who is incorrectly believed to be indestructible sounds like a fun setup and it'll be interesting to see whether this proves to be more social-comment title, superhero book or manage to walk that fine line of something in between. While Marvel have lost me for the aforementioned Uncanny X-Men, they're going to at least get me looking at Inhumanity: The Awakening #1 this week. I wasn't particularly sold on any of the multiple tie-ins that have been advertised for this new concept - with Inhuman now being pushed to a 'postponed' status - yet the creative combination of Matt Kindt and Paul Davidson on this two-parter has me intrigued enough to give it a punt.
