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: Wow. Well, I guess in the lead up to Christmas and with publishers getting a clear run of Wednesdays through the entire month, it seems that I have a pull-list of very slim pickings this week. I'm picking up all of three books having decided to drop one title after disappointment last time around. It's also an interesting haul all round, with one book I'm looking forward to reading, one I can't read because I'm behind on the title as a whole, one that's on it's last legs with my patience and the aforementioned 'dropped' book which I will list here for a sense of completion. The one book I can read and will dive into first is Hadrian's Wall #4 from Image Comics. This is proving to be a captivating murder-mystery with writers Kyle Higgins and Alex Siegel maintaining a genuine sense of distrust through the majority of the cast. This fourth chapter will cap off the opening arc and I'm very pleased to hear that we'll only have to wait until February 2017 for the next arc to begin. Daredevil #14 would be the book I'm getting, but cannot read because I'm behind in my reading so there's little to be said there. Mosaic #3, on the other hand, would represent the title standing on the brink of departing my pull-list. Geoffrey Thorne will really need to deliver some sort of character development for his protagonist as my interest in Morris is waning rapidly and the past two issues have predominantly been about his powers and the people he's possessed. To finish, I'll add that the book dumped unceremoniously from the list this week is Mark Millar's Reborn. A decent first effort followed up by a questionable and clichéd second left a foul taste in the mouth and I can find no excitement in the idea of picking up another chapter this time around. A shame, but it's not like Millar isn't a prolific writer...
