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 along with a full list of titles that will be available from Paradox Comics.
Jo S: I'm all about the miniseries at the moment and this week seems to be lush for sweet little nuggets of low commitment goodness. DC's treats are in the form of Superman: Up in the Sky - two thirds of the way through its run and this series has been a real surprise win, touching, intelligent and innovative - and Lois Lane, with mystery, intrigue and a hero who's sometimes awkward and stubborn, but always directed by her moral compass.
Marvel's phenomenal House Of X wraps up this week; it's not my first taste of X-Men lore but in many ways it feels like it, a groundbreaking, fresh approach from Hickman which remains true to its sources whilst building them into something magnificent, coherent and and resounding.
Also in the miniseries basket, I'm looking forward to Canto - an emotive reworking of the classic monomyth, with a little hero setting out on a mighty adventure to save his true love - and the second issue of John Lees' decidedly kooky Mountainhead. There's no predicting where that one might go, with Lees' writing taking entirely unexpected angles in the first issue.
The final mini on my list is a new start, with Ruby Falls from Dark Horse's Berger Books imprint. As mentioned in the Shipping Forecast, Ann Nocenti writes a story led by three generations of women, with a mystery disappearance at its centre - this one is eagerly anticipated. Also mentioned in our September Forecast (GNs sometimes arrive a little later) is another highly anticipated appearance, Chris Ware's new release, the huge Rusty Brown graphic novel. James R's enthusiasm for the detail, the minutiae, the obsessive complexity of Ware's work has infected me, and I feel it's time to have something from his oeuvre in my collection.
