Out of the mouths of babes....























Will no doubt come some rather tasty language!..

Yep it's the return of the FROG BROS' very favourite prepubescent, trash mouthed crime fighter HIT GIRL. 

Set in the time between the two KICK-ASS books we have Mindy trying to settle in to her butter would not melt new 'normal' life whilst taking KICK-ASS under her wing and training him up to be a masked vigilante that can actually do some damage, rather than the superhero who's main power is being able to take a kicking!

Let's be honest, KICK-ASS VOL.01 was AWESOME, VOL.02... Well honestly it forgot what made 1 so gosh darn good, and that's the 2 main characters of KICK-ASS and HIT GIRL...

So with any luck the great Mr Millar will return to form with this bad-bo... -Girl and give us the book we've all been waiting for!

With the equally great and thoroughly nice John Romita Jnr (the FROG BROS met him once,.. Just putting that out there... Check our facebook if you don't beleive us, we even got pictures! ) on arts HIT GIRL promises to be the book we all hoped KICK-ASS VOL.02 would be...

If by any miracle the dream team of Romita Jnr and Millar are reading this, please don't be offended by our critique of KICK-ASS VOL.02... no-one listens to our opinions and our doors are forever open to you should you wish to pop by the shop, have a chat about comics and books and possibly do a signing or 2?..

Check out the first few pages of HIT-GIRL here... and then CONTACT US quick to get it added to your pull-list... Or just reserved if you ain't got a pull-list yet... and if that's you, well start one NOW!

They're coming!!!...























And forget about the mediocre BURTON movie, the inspiration for this one comes from the previous 50 years of true geek collectables!!!...

Yes this week sees IDW launch an all new on-going MARS ATTACKS series with MARS ATTACKS #1...

And ooh have they got some talent on-board to bring it all to life, penning the story is the ultra talented writer of CHEW, JOHN LAYMAN and on arts we've got JOHN MCCREA...

IDW are promising a twisted mix of action and dark humour, we know LAYMAN mixes the 2 every month on CHEW and MCCREA has certainly shown he's up to the job on titles like DICKS and THE BOYS...

With a rich history of trading cards, comics, toys and yep, that movie, this team have a real melting pot of past works to use as inspiration...

And LAYMAN is delving into it all to create a universe of characters and happenings that will all tie together as the fun and alien frolics roll along...

Grab you're 6 issue subscription to the MARS ATTACKS here... and let the carnage begin...

This is gonig to be HUGE!!!...























This week finally sees the new monthly from BRIAN WOOD and KRISTIAN DONALDSON hitting the FROG shelves...

The FROG BROS just hope they're strong enough to hold them, as the title suggests this one is going to be MASSIVE!!!...

MASSIVE #1, coming from the pen of the comics genius that brought us DMZ, NORTHLANDERS, and the exceptional current run on CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Not to mention the really rather awesome WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN mini-series ALPHA AND OMEGA...

Yep BRIAN WOOD knows his way around a story and with MASSIVE we think he's about to knock it out of the park... again...

Set amongst the crew of a radical environmentalist ship named the KAPITAL, who's crew are coming to terms with a series of cataclysmic events, the kind they were radically trying to stop and trying to find their larger ship that's gone missing, the MASSIVE...

Not another end of the world sci-fi romp I here you all groan, well yes and no...

You see sci-fi can be really good, especially when it focuses on the characters and how they adapt to their new or changing world...

And that's exactly what this promises to do, it's already being compared to SAGA in size and scope so grab your copy and see what the tree huggers do when there's no more trees to hug!!!...

Grab you're 6 issue subscription to the MASSIVE here... It's gonna be HUGE...

After all the talking...























We finally get to see if all the fuss, uproar and controversy has been worth it...

Yes this week sees the first of the BEFORE WATCHMEN mini-series hitting the FROG SHELVES with BEFORE WATCHMEN MINUTEMEN #1...

Now it's been well publicised that the great ALAN MOORE, co-creator of the seminal WATCHMEN is not exactly excited by those guys and gals at DC finally taking the leap and expanding on what MOORE believes is a story that should only ever exist as it does, as a stand alone piece, MOORE has even gone so far as to urge his fans not to buy the BEFORE THE WATCHMEN books...

But the WATCHMEN is not only a stand alone piece it's also a stand out book that tells a rich story that many believe (this FROG included) is too rich to be left, with characters that have so much more to offer...

This summer DC are kicking out mini-series of varying length to do just that, build on what the great man created and expand with some of the industry's current greats...

The first of these mini's BEFORE WATCHMEN MINUTEMEN tells the story of the worlds first costumed crime fighting team and chronicles the final days of the MINUTEMEN and how the team really came apart...

And who doesn't want to read about a super team being torn apart by rape, murder, alcoholism, homosexuality and fanatical conservatism?
