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: Curse you, Tom King, you and your infuriating brilliance! I'd just managed to wean myself off Batman yet again and then last week's issue was just, aargh-amazing, and I'm back on the hard stuff, doomed probably to see it through to at least the end of King's run, lest I'm struck down yet again with agonising FOMO.
Also unmissable currently are House Of X, the History Of The Marvel Universe (the latter proving something of a boon when trying to peel back the dense layers of the former) and Valkyrie, now riding under the name Valkyrie Jane Foster in case we were confused. I've really enjoyed the first couple of issues of this: Foster's arc, from love interest to thunder god to companion of the dead on their journey to Valhalla, has been an astonishing one - though I came to this at the wrong time to get the full benefit of her Thor era, I'm really enjoying her embodiment in this series so far.
Two new series grace my list as a result of my PCG colleagues' creator-focussed passions: James R's enthusiasm for all things Lemire is unmatched, so I'll try Inferior Five #1, a DC mystery about misfit kids who notice odd goings-on in their hometown, and though Andy H is already shrouded in gothic mourning garb for the loss of his regular fix of Giant Days, writer John Allison is set to soothe his bereft soul with new outset Steeple - a story about two women from very different backgrounds bonding… wait, this seems familiar…!
The new Spider-Man - yup, just 'Spider-Man' - has caused some rustling among the geek-sites as it's written by director JJ Abrams in a team-up with son Henry. Apparently, Pops wasn't too fussed about doing a Spidey book until Henry took an interest - but Peter Parker has always been a teenager out of his own time: the intergenerational influence could work well here.
Finally, mentions for a couple of books: I've been picking up Fairlady from Image and loving it; the collected Vol 1 is available this week, it's an absolute bargain at £8.99 in our local comic book store and I urge you to snag a copy: a fantasy/mystery/procedural with maps, gargantuan wrecked robots and a giant cat-man thing, plus additional prose stories and lovely artwork: it's got my name all over it and I'd love to see more people give it a try.
Lastly, Celine Loup's The Man Who Came Down The Attic Stairs looks gorgeous and has a creepy mystery feel to it, as Emma and her new baby are unnerved by spooky goings-on her husband, who seems a little off himself, is oblivious to. A nice creepy book for an autumn evening's reading - lovely.
