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.

Kenny J: Invincible #140 hits the stands this week and, as Robert Kirkman's second longest-running book, I'm wondering if this really is the end of all things. With carnage and blood and closure on a lot of threads I think it may well be, however, it wouldn't be the first time this comic has called my bluff and part of me hopes it's going to be the same this time as I want this book to stay around a lot longer. Another invincible character I hope sticks around for a while is Riri Williams, the new and improved Invincible Iron Man, or Ironheart as she's now known. She has been my favourite recent addition to the Marvel Universe and with the impending return of Tony Stark I hope she doesn't get relegated to supporting cast. I'll continue to read any book she headlines and Invincible Iron Man #11 is no exception. The recent storyline in Batman has been a staccato insight into the Dark Knight's arguably best known villains. Two Arkham inmates on opposing sides of crazy, one the instigator of chaos, the other obsessed with puzzles and control. I didn't quite gel with Tom King’s vision for Bruce Wayne at first but this recent 'War For Gotham' angle has me picking up and enjoying Batman again. Wild Storm #7 sees the return of Warren Ellis’ reboot of the eponymous universe. It has been a while since my last dose of covert ops, Machiavellian business leaders and bleeding edge technology. You could argue that this is just Ellis doing what Ellis does but that, for me at least, that is never a bad thing.
