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: Black Science #15 roars of the line first this week in typical frantic style. I love it's dimension-hopping antics, all grounded by a workaholic father wracked with guilt. It's also time for the final issue of Chrononauts. To be honest, I've found the story to be hollow and the main characters utterly unsympathetic and repellent, but I can't ignore Murphy's artwork and it has been a good excuse for him to draw some fun scenes. I'm sure his next collaboration with Rick Remender will produce something with more bite. The ever dependable interstellar Saga will have no such issues as the potent mix of science fiction and soap opera shows no signs of entropy. I've always had a soft spot for 1602, Neil Gaiman's take on the Marvel Universe, which imagined if it's characters had existed in 16th century England. 1602: Witch Hunter Angela #1 should be a welcome return to that world thanks to the epic Secret Wars. Now that's what I call an event! That just leaves the latest must have hardcover omnibus form Dark Horse collecting BPRD: 1946 – 1948. In the wake of World War II, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm - occult investigator and guardian of the young Hellboy - and a group of war-weary veterans investigate Hitler’s top-secret Project Vampir Sturm, exposing one of the greatest villains of the Third Reich, uncovering the secret history of vampires, and leading one Bureau agent to risk his soul and his mind. All for a value price. Can't pass that up!
