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: I've done the research, crunched the numbers and cogitated on the finer details and come to one conclusion: no Marvel in my pull-list this Wednesday! I've stalled on Moon Knight for now, the Cullen Bunn arc not hitting the standard set by Brian Wood and Warren Ellis before him. I have no interest in the two new #1s tied to Secret Wars; yes I've enjoyed Thor under Aaron's hand, but can't bring myself to get excited by a Thor-based police force book and I've never had an interest in Runaways. This therefore brings about a strange situation when I have one book to buy from the Big Two and it turns out to be a DC title! My money will be spent on Robin: Son Of Batman #1 as Patrick Gleason makes the transition from artist to writer/artist through the natural progression of his and Peter J. Tomasi's work on Batman And Robin. Gleason captures the visual style of Gotham and its inhabitants like no other and I'm eager to see if his scripting can match his pencilling. Elsewhere, it's the standard dominant performance from Image with the wolf's share of my interest finding its way to their works. Southern Bastards #9 is sure to be a compelling read as the surprise events of that memorable first arc seed further tension in Craw County and I have to say that I've no idea where Rick Remender is gonna take things in his underwater tale of hope in a sea of despair with Low #7, but there's no way I'm missing out!
