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.

Stewart R: How quickly time flies; it seemed like only yesterday that I was previewing Welcome Back #1 back in our August Ten Forward piece and here we are with it about to hit shelves. I'm still excited about the premise of an ongoing war that's taking place between two sides, who fight it out via the process of resurrection. The preview art certainly seems to solidify the promise and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the finished product. Over at Valiant it's time to reach the halfway point of the Book Of Death storyline - bless these four-part events - with the second issue, where I'm guessing everything will take a turn for the crazy following a slightly formulaic opener which moved everyone into place and set up the premise. Valiant are certainly doing a fine job of using their canon with sharp focus and precision and I've been impressed with how these mini-events have been varied in story and remained dramatic and intriguing. I'll wrap things up with a #3 to maintain a 1, 2, 3 structure with this week's On The Pull and that leaves me to wave Weirdworld #3 in your faces good people! It's a Marvel 'Battleworld'/Secret Wars book in the very loosest of senses as there's been little to no mention of the wider event through the two issues released so far. Arkon has found himself on this strange and deadly continent and simply seeks to find his way out of it in one piece. The art is just sumptuous, as is to be expected with a Mike Del Mundo book, and if you're in the mood for a beautiful fantasy adventure miniseries to see you through the summer, you should be looking in Weirdworld's direction.
