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.

Matt C: Regardless of what you thought of the film (and boy has it inspired some wildly diverse opinions!) you can't deny that the Joker has once again captured the zeitgeist, impacting popular culture in a significant way. And you think DC are going to leave money on the table and ignore the new focus on their most famous super-villain? Hell no!

Like his arch-nemesis, the Joker has remained a compelling creation throughout almost eight decades of storytelling, withstanding a variety of interpretations, and this new addition could well be one of the best yet. From the team behind the acclaimed Gideon Falls (Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino), comes a three-parter from the Black Label imprint. Two top tier creators reuniting to provide a tale of a cocky psychotherapist who believes he can unravel the mysteries of Joker's mind? Who doesn't want to pick this up to see things go fantastically wrong for an over-confident doctor?

DC also has Last God #1 which is in the swords and sorcery/fantasy vein, and although not usually my go-to genre, I do like a dabble, and the art looks impressive enough to give this one a try.

From Marvel, under the 'Dawn Of X' banner comes a relaunched Excalibur. After enjoying the non-Hickman-scripted Marauders #1 last week I'm keen to check out all the new X-books as Hickman has definitely reignited something in the franchise, and it looks to have inspired other creators too.

In the bargain reprints corner there are two X-Men themed True Believers releases and from DC, who are now getting in on the act with Dollar Comics, there's the chance to pick up the famous 'Death of Superman' issue for a lot less than you'd find it on eBay.
