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: Just like Tom I'm looking forward to both Deadly Class and We Stand Guard this week; Remender is on a creator-owned roll - and in the face of the very recent reveal about him stepping away from Marvel long may that last! - and as Tom said, Brian K. Vaughan rarely writes a comic that nudges under the bar labelled 'good' these days. Outside of these two picks from the pair of us, I have to say that it's looking like a very strong week indeed for BOOM! Studios. I'm already heavily invested in the war-torn action that Ed Brisson and Damian Couceiro have thrown our way and in Cluster #5 I'm assuming that we'll get further insight into Samara's tragic past and the circumstances that led her to serve a militaristic prison sentence. Broken World #2 on the other hand is a complete mystery to me following a strong debut that really sold me the dummy come the final page. It was a neat twist indeed and so now we just have to see if Frank J. Barbiere and Christopher Peterson can form this into a captivating miniseries. This just leaves me rounding out the BOOM! trilogy for my week with the brand new title on the block in the shape of The Spire #1 from Simon Spurrier and Jeff Stokely. These guys worked together tremendously well for Six-Gun Gorilla and now they'll turn their hands to a post-apocalyptic, fantasy murder-mystery tale. Spurrier's always a writer who produces work I'll take a look at, though perhaps my early, over-eager enthusiasm for his writing has waned a little in recent years. He certainly has a way with dialogue and manages to find an emotional nerve in his key characters with ease, so I've fingers crossed that The Spire manages to sit up there in the quality stakes with Six-Gun Gorilla.
