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.

Jo S: It’s impossible to imagine that this week’s Mister Miracle could top the last issue but I’ll give it a fair crack - Big Barda shot up to the No.1 spot in my Badass Babes list and I can’t wait to see what she’s meted out to those who were attempting to carry out Scott’s death sentence. Some standards pop up again this week: classy ghouls-and-gangsters tale Damned #6 and the beautiful watercolour artwork of Grass Kings #11 will be high on my list, and I’m continuing to indulge my appreciation for all things Matt Rosenberg with Secret Warriors #12 as Lunella takes the lead of her own team and must find a way to get them all pulling in the same direction. There's gathering cloud on the horizon though as this will be the last of this run: it has consistently brightened my week whenever it has appeared and I'll miss it. On the up side though, Phoenix Resurrection issues are exploding out every week currently, and the third will be a cornerstone for me - the Rosenberg magic touch continuing in this new guise. The manner of Jean Grey's reintroduction is starting to become clearer but when will we see the Phoenix touch down? Just one first issue this week - I couldn’t resist adding Old Man Hawkeye #1 to my requests as Clint Barton suddenly became something of a favourite of mine with his appearance alongside Kate Bishop in the current Hawkeye series and, by coincidence, as I write this, it’s Jeremy Renner’s birthday. Happy birthday, Old Hawkeye!
