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: In Return Of The Jedi (spoilers!), Darth Vader looks on as his master, the delightfully evil Emperor Palpatine, gleefully electrocutes Vader's son, Luke Skywalker. What should he do? Save him or just let him go? Well Darth, I'm just as stuck with your new Marvel comic book. The first few where great but I'm becoming less convinced with every issue. A sadistic protocol droid and a plucky young weapons designer? Hardly the lone wolf I always envisioned. I will give you one more issue to decide if you stay on the pull-list or not. The same can't be said for Black Science #14, East Of West #19 and Saga #28. They have nothing to worry about - tremendous comics one and all. Injection #1 is new this week from the team that brought us the excellent Moon Knight recently. Warren Ellis seems to be back on form and even on time with his work again which makes me a happy man - he's a true master of the art form when he wants to be and the premise of this title sounds right up my street. C.O.W.L. #10 is another must read and if you haven't done so, grab the first trade like I did and catch up quick. It really delivers unlike a lot of recent Watchmen/Minutemen wannabes. I loved last week's Secret Wars so am happy to see the next issue out this quickly. As a big Hickman fan it really paid off on all the work he's put in so far. It felt like a truly bombastic end to a sprawling epic. It's even got me excited about some of the spin-off books that I may have dismissed too quickly. This may be the last Marvel event I ever let myself get sucked into so I plan to embrace it! Thor #8 rounds off the list nicely as we finally learn who she is. I've loved this run and I think it's been the best work on a Thor book since Coipel and Straczynski's run. High praise indeed after the God Butcher stuff. Russell Dauterman has been a real discovery for me and I'm upgrading this arc to a hardcover as soon as I can!
