It's a relatively quiet week for brand new series, however, the new books are of a high pedigree!
Matt Kindt takes us to the Ether with his latest series combining fantasy and science.
Revolution reaches a critical point with GI Joe Revolution one shot as the GIJ crew take on the invading transformers. Similarly Thanos is having issues with the family in Thanos #1 from Jeff Lemire & Mike Deodato.
Image release Grand Passion from James Robinson & Tom Feister and the flavour text of "Harlequin Romance meets Hard-Boiled Crime" makes it Owen's pick of the week!
Lastly we have Yakuza Demon Killers #1 which probably needs little extra explanation!
Otherwise there are plenty of new issues for ongoing series to keep you occupied with quality reads - oh and barb-wired baseball bats.... :)
