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: Well, it's been a few months - nearly four by a quick mental guess and some dubious counting on fingers - but Inhuman #2 is finally out this week and it really must be regarded as 'make or break' time for Marvel's push to put the Inhumans into the limelight. Charles Soule is definitely the writer to steer this effort and there's no doubting the pull of Joe Mad! on art duties, but a delay of this magnitude and the sliding of the debut issue into the back of Amazing Spider-Man #1 shows that there might be doubts on whether this can capture a large, sustained audience in order to make this an ongoing success. Southern Bastards #2 on the other hand, is a follow-up issue that I have no doubts about as Jason Aaron's violent, brooding opener was definitely worthy of Book Of The Week consideration and I expect that to remain a possibility every time it hits the shelves. I state 'possibility' because there's always a wealth of contenders it seems these days and this week we have the finale of Justin Jordan's Dead Body Road as well as Deadly Class #5 from Rick Remender to delve into and enjoy. It's also time for me to pick up the clockwork, sic-fi antics of Brass Sun #1 this week after my preview a few months back and I'm looking forward to seeing if the preview blurb translates into an engrossing debut for the 2000 AD published work.
