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. Click here for a list of the latest releases.

Jo S: The first pass of my pull-list this week stood at a mighty seventeen books, so the major task was to edit it down into something I wouldn't have to hide the receipt for… The result is that all of my choices this week are solidly confident ones. Marvel supplies four of my first June batch; All-New Guardians Of The Galaxy #3 for the chuckles, X-Men: Gold #5 for the action, Black Bolt #2 for the artistically Escheresque stylings and Hawkeye #7 for sheer exuberance and those cheeky little clues scattered about. Redline is on my list again: the dark humour in this tale of insurgency in a Martian mining operation keeps me coming back; if you’ve seen District 9, you'll have a feel for the atmosphere of this. Three issue #1s top the pile: the fan of classic science fiction in me couldn't let Dynamite’s Magnus go uninvestigated. A story of the uneasy co-existence of AI with humans, leading to a murder mystery; this appears to have my name all over it. Donny Cates’ new title Babyteeth caught my attention in Previews a while back: the concept of a sixteen year-old, furiously pregnant with the antichrist, appealed to me. My final choice is, naturally, a Wonder Woman comic: I'm picking up Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor #1. I was a little uncomfortable with the way this relationship was handled in the Wonder Woman movie and I'm interested to see if there's a credible story that can be made of the partnership between a demigoddess and a human man.
