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. To see what’s available at Paradox this week, click here.

Andy H: Secret Wars has had some 'interesting' tie-ins out over the last few weeks but this week sees a couple of titles that I have been waiting for. Civil War #1 is up first. On Battleworld the war between the Blue and the Iron has continued for years. It's going to be fun to see how the two sides have changed from that original concept in 2006 (yikes!). Charles Soule writes with dynamic art from Leinil Francis Yu. Possibly a little less intense is 1872 #1. As a self-confessed fan of Westerns I'm well up for this adventure. In the small town of Timely (like it), Sheriff Steve Rogers keeps the peace. The town drunk is a certain Anthony Stark and looking at the cover art it looks like an Old West version of Bruce Banner will be making an appearance too. Yee Haw! Also making the Secret Wars pull-list is Age Of Apocalypse #1, looking very retro indeed. Off to BOOM! Studios for the very worthy looking Strange Fruit #1. Written by Mark Waid and featuring the stunning art of J.G. Jones this tells of the events of the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Boldly going off on a tangent I will try the possibly odd pairing of the Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover. Hey, it's set in space, it could happen! Also on a space theme we have the next Star Wars book. Lando Calrissian gets his own 5-part miniseries. Charles Soule and Alex Maleev bring us an adventure set before The Empire Strikes Back and Cloud City. Just how much of a scoundrel was Lando back then?
