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.
James R: As we move through the summer months, it's another week where DC have got a firm grip on my wallet; they've got a slew of great books incoming. Starting with the obvious, it's the next instalment in Tom King's superb run on Batman (you know the deal by now) and it's the same as regards Joëlle Jones and her great work on Catwoman. Not everyone was as impressed as me with Event Leviathan, but I'm certainly looking forward to seeing where the espionage-heavy event from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev goes next. Speaking of Bendis, I'll also be getting Batman Universe #1: following on from Tom King's Superman book (Up In The Sky) this was another Walmart exclusive, which is all well and good but for those of us marooned on the European side of the Atlantic, it's great that we can finally read these blockbuster titles.
Over at Image, the standout title for me is the next issue of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal: Brubaker is having a majestic 2019, with Criminal returning better than ever, and his collaboration with Nicolas Winding Refn (Too Old To Die Young) has proved to be essential TV viewing. In addition to the regular issue, this week sees the release of the collected Bad Weekend story - I obviously picked this up as individual issues, but this collected edition is a 'director's cut' - with additional scenes added to the tale of skulduggery in the comics industry. I'd normally baulk at such a purchase, but this is the sublime Criminal, and it's a collection worthy of a place on my creaking bookshelves!
Best of the week though? There's only one possible answer for me - it's finally time for the Black Hammer/Justice League crossover! I am a Jeff Lemire superfan, and I love the DCU: seeing the heroes of Black Hammer Farm meeting the iconic heroes who part-inspired them is fanboy heaven for me, and it will be the first thing I read after I pick up my pull-list from Paradox.
