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: As is often the case I'll echo Matt C's praise for the works of Rick Remender and for Low in particular as it's been the book in his retinue that has that steady, grand, operatic quality to the sweeping emotional tones, political themes of a dying world and sub-nautical battles that his other more frenetic and rollercoaster like books perhaps do not. It's a book that's easily in my top five recommendations to new readers on a consistent basis and as Stel's journey takes her ever closer to the water's surface and the hostile environment beyond I'm still left in the dark as to where Remender may take things from here. Like Matt there are no debuts screaming for my investment this Wednesday and I've even started to separate the 'wheat from the chaff' so to speak and am taking the opportunity to leave some books behind and omitting them from my pull-list. More in regards this in the next few weeks! Meanwhile, I am surprised that I've become so attached to All New Inhumans following a strong opening arc from Charles Soule and James Asmus, to the point where I'm possibly more eager to read that book than Uncanny Inhumans #6 this week. The idea of Crystal and her cohort of Nu-humans travelling the globe, rescuing those affected by the Terrigen cloud and bumping heads with governments and law enforcement on the journey has been highly engrossing. Asmus gets this chapter to himself (and possibly the book from here on?) and it'll be interesting to see what he brings to the table as he tackles things solo. Meanwhile in Uncanny Soule has already returned us to Black Bolt's, ummm 'Bolthole', known as The Quiet Room, which we saw in a different shape back in the Battleworld tie-in. With the Inhuman King now deposed he's opened a neutral area for hero and villain alike to socialise in and that can only lead to eventual trouble!
