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.

Kenny J: Come for the stunning Joshua Middleton variant covers and stay for the creepy noir tale that Mairghread Scott is telling. This is a Batgirl that is far from Burnside, and the stories that brought me back to the character, but I am enjoying the more detective-led aspects of this book just as much. Batgirl #29 brings the culmination of Grotesque's plan: it is always great to see the end of an arc through especially when you are excited to see what comes next. With Mister Miracle recently wrapped I have been desperate to keep some Tom King story telling on my pull-list and happily the first two issues of Heroes In Crisis have brought me a worthy successor. This is big storytelling with a vast cast and big ideas; a task King excels at. With art duties falling to the equally adept Lee Weeks for issue #3 I'm looking forward to the slow reveal in this superhero mystery book. The reunion of the four original members in Fantastic Four didn't pack as much of an emotional punch as I would have liked, however, what Dan Slott has reminded me of is how much I love spending time with these characters and their familial dynamic, which he gets spot on. Last of all I will be taking a look at Ironheart #1. Riri Williams' recent stint as the titular Invincible Iron Man was one of my favourite comic debuts. I quickly warmed to the genius teenager struggling with her new-found responsibility. Let's see where Eve Ewing and Kevin Libranda take her next.
