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.

Matt C: A.D.: After Death #1 is the big one this week, the long-awaited collaboration between Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire which will take us into a 'post-mortality' future, and while it's retailing at $5.99, the three-issue mini will be in the prestige format and run to 70-80 pages for each instalment, which is great value for money in my book. And while Image launches one new series, another, long-running title reaches its conclusion. Chew made a huge splash when it first appeared back in 2009 but the past seven years have seen its popularity wane, a proposed TV series never coming to pass, and acclaim quieting down significantly. I'll admit it's still had its moments of hilarity but they've not been as frequent, and while it's been a diverting read the whole way through, it does feel like it should have ended a while ago. My completist nature means I've stuck with it, but I suspect all the issues will be heading to eBay soon enough!
