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.

Tom P: A quiet week for me overall with only a few Marvel books on my shopping list. The first is New Avengers #29 from Jonathan Hickman and Kev Walker. I love the scope and ambition of this title and its sister book, Avengers; right from the start its always been a terrific read and at this point I will follow and have faith in it wherever it takes me, even if that is the end of the Marvel Universe as we know it! I like a shake up, so will happily watch them kick the bee hive. Next its Thor #4 and MR THOR vs. MISS THOR! Aaron's run with the God of Thunder has been mostly brilliant except for the sub-Lord Of The Rings crudfest that was appropriately named 'The Accursed' which appeared after the quite brilliant 'God Butcher' arc. Thankfully the newly relaunched series is full of energy and is both a real blast of fresh air and a whole lot of fun to boot. Long may she reign! So the only other thing I can think of is whether to try Uncanny Avengers #1 or not? I didn't get much out of AXIS but I dig the creative team and I expect I can forgive the much-hyped event as, to be honest, Remender's writing most of the best books available right now. Just on a side note, I see Image is reprinting the first trade of Criminal called Coward by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips -if you've never read it I can't recommend it highly enough as it's some of the finest crime fiction in comics.
