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: The first-out-of-the-pile read this week simply has to be Lazarus #19. The last chapter was left on such a surprising cliffhanger that it's difficult to predict just where the story may go from here and what future implications this conflict between clans and family members might bring about over the course of coming months. Will this really be one of those comic book, 'things will never be the same again' moments? Speaking of conflict, there's plenty to go around in other books it seems this week - let's face it, few of our favourite ongoing reads are about friendships, continuous peace, kindness and diplomacy! I'm going to give Brian K. Vaughan's We Stand On Guard one more attempt to convince me to carry on with it as I pick up #3, the previous two instalments offering hints of an involving read with interesting political overtones, but suffering with too speedy a pace for my liking. Jonathan Hickman's Dying And The Dead on the other hand, had me won over following the weighty debut and in spite of delays to the schedule - if you're a fan of Hickman's creator-owned works you know to expect delays from time to time by now - this is a series that I imagine will continue to build to a fine crescendo as it goes. And as I reach the end of this week's On The Pull I guess I'll end with a rousing cheer in BOOM! Studios direction as they once again find three fine titles in my pull-list for the week with the final chapter of Broken World, seventh issue of the terrific, alien world war epic Cluster and the second issue of the impressive John Flood. Bravo to BOOM!
