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: A new week and of course some new titles to be picked up and scrutinized. I was initially going to pass on Iron Fist: The Living Weapon #1, but having chanced a fleeting look at the Comic Book Resources preview I was won over by the art style of Kaare Andrews and will invest in this debut to see whether the adventures of Danny Rand can win me over long term. I'll be treating Aspen Comics' Lola XOXO #1 with a similar short leash as I had the opportunity to treat this as a quiet pull-list week. However, that particular title's premise strangely invoked a sense of nostalgia for the Fallout videogame series in me - it's set in a post-nuclear decimated United States - so I'll give it a go in spite of the plethora of pouting pin-up pages in its preview (all the P's!) at CBR which slightly rings the Aspen cliché bell a little too hard instead of focusing on the story itself. As it is a slightly quieter week and I have already jumped onto the new comic book series wagon having not expected to, I may as well make it something of an ad hoc fresh material trilogy so I'll be giving Shutter #1 from Joe Keatinge and Leila del Duca a try as well! The art style of del Duca reminds me a little of Riley Rossmo which is no bad thing and I'm intrigued to see how Keatinge goes about making this globe-trotting adventure with fantasy elements stand out from the growing crowd that find themselves in the same genre pot, as well as standing out from the crowd in and amongst Image's swelling pot of quality!
