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: After last week's bombardment by debuts it's good to see things settle down a little in this cramped 28 day month and give us something of a breather. It seems that the end to 2013 and start of 2014 has seen me overcome a little by comic book fatigue and the growing pile of evidence - an actual pile of unread comics - is starting to hamper the weekly tackling of my pull-list and reviewing choice with catch up necessary on several books. The only DC titles I continue to buy are both out this week in the shape of Batman And Two-Face #28 and Green Lantern: New Guardians #28, yet I'm one issue behind on the former and I believe three behind on the latter. That's a rather poor situation on two books that I've found entertaining and enthralling through the Autumn and into the Winter months and one that may have me considering whether to cut my ties with them now until I get myself properly caught up. Likewise I was highly impressed with Alex + Ada's first two issues, and now seeing that #4 will roll into Paradox Comics tomorrow I'm now wondering where the heck I've placed the third installment that I evidently neglected! Once I've written this piece I will actually be burrowing through the tower of illustrated material next to my desk to locate said issue and to right the wrong and get it read! I did manage to read Punisher #1 a couple of weeks ago so that's something of a win and I'm expecting that Punisher #2 may well be the first thing I happen to read this week as Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerads did a fine job with their introduction to Frank Castle's latest death-dealing shenanigans. And while this article has focused primarily on my disorganised reading schedule and all of the unread material, I still can't resist a promising new title and so like Matt C I simply cannot resist picking up White Suits #1 and Undertow #1 this week as both look very good indeed from the various preview material around here and here.
