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.

Kenny J: Here we are again. It's the season of the huge crossover event and the last time I read one of these from DC it was Flashpoint, the story that lead us into the much-maligned New 52. By the conclusion of that debacle I was only reading Batman and Batgirl so nothing much has changed when I say I'll be picking up Batman Rebirth #1, co-written by outgoing steward Scott Snyder and incoming Tom King. Both have proven track records, Snyder on many a Bat book and Tom King is doing wonders elsewhere with The Vision and Sheriff Of Babylon. In a bid to not get burnt by the impending slew of debut issues being released over the coming months I will be sticking to the characters I love and the creators I trust, which means Superman Rebirth #1 also gets a look in this week as it is being written by Peter J Tomasi. I think Tomasi has the skill to handle the action of Supes while delivering the emotional punch of Clark Kent and Lois Lane raising a son. Across the way it is are couple of fun-filled vigilante books that will be being picked from Marvel in the form of Punisher and Moon Knight. With the initial issue of Punisher, Becky Cloonan and Steve Dillon have set up a world we are both familiar with, at least when it comes to Frank Castle, while introducing a little intrigue. Enough for me to come back for a second helping. Rounding off the week we have two of my favourite books: the stellar Deadly Class #21 and Amazing Forest #6 (which is unfortunately the last issue of that one for a while).
