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: Funnily enough Translucid #1 also stood out from the crowd for me when it came to scanning the shipping list for this week. The idea of investigating what makes someone a hero from the detective perspective of an estranged hero's arch nemesis is an interesting take and the preview pages sealed the deal with a strangely haunted feel to the visuals. This of course appears in the same week as Marvel's biggest look at a similar premise finally closes its curtains as Superior Spider-Man #31 marks the end of a highly successful and hugely entertaining experiment from Dan Slott. With Peter Parker back the most interesting parts of this finale will be just how different the Manhattan he's returning to is compared to when Otto made his move and pushed the spirit of Peter Parker into the shadows of his mind. The Amazing Spider-Man is going to kick on from here, but arguably this will be where that story truly begins I would imagine. Elsewhere in something of a slim week I'm looking forward to seeing how Simon Spurrier pushes things on for Cable and his team in X-Force #3, where Brian Wood decides to take a brand new arc in his X-Men #13 and just where Scott Snyder is going to steer Pearl Jones and Skinner Sweet in American Vampire: Second Cycle #2.
