CRIME FIGHTING PAYS...























But then ultimately you may have to pay the biggest price... Your life...

That boys and girls, in a nutshell is the story of THE DOLLAR BILL, a character from the WATCHMEN that we really don't know much about...

We know he was a bank sponsored hero, we know he died trying to stop a bank job and we know from Hollis' writings that he was basically a good guy...

A good guy who just wasn't as tortured as the rest of the WATCHMEN cast...

Or was he? Well folks that's what we're going to find out in BEFORE WATCHMEN DOLLAR BILL #1...

I've been really enjoying the BEFORE WATCHMEN stuff, even if a lot of it is just showing us more of what MOORE and GIBSON gave us all those years ago...

But with this one-shot writer Len Wein and artist Steve Rude have the chance to really tell a new story, other than the name and costume we really don't know DOLLAR BILL...

Wein's doing some really good work on OZYMANDIAS and fitting back into the WATCHMEN groove well (he edited on the original)...

And Rude's art is always something pretty special, so even if you've been avoiding the BEFORE WATCHMEN stuff until now... Maybe this one is the one to try...

Don't worry we won't tell Mr Moore...

BEST! THING! EVER!...
























Well I for one have been waiting for what feels like EVER! for this book to hit the FROG SHELVES...

The return of Kid LOKI, written by Kieron Gillen and art by Jamie McKelvie, yes folks it's time for YOUNG AVENGERS #1 NOW!!!...

Why so excited? Well dear reader let me tell you that Mr Gillen's award winning work on JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY, GENERATION HOPE and his previous team up with Mr McKelvie on PHONOGRAM are all AWESOME books that focus on teenage characters...

So these two have enough previous to shoot YOUNG AVENGERS #1 to the top of your reading list straight off the bat...

And that's before we even start to go into Gillen being responsible for giving the world KID LOKI...

Now LOKI of any incarnation is a FROG loved character, the KID variety LOKI is an incarnation so messed up, tortured, cocky and confused it's just BRILLIANT (Again if you haven't read any of GILLEN's JIM, get out there and beg, borrow, steal it!)... Or just get us to get it for you...

Throw in the rest of the line up including Wiccan, Hulkling, Kate Bishop, Noh-Varr and Miss America and this FROG is willing to bet this book will be one of the supernovas in an already MARVEL NOW! sparkling sky!!!...

If I were to give myself more writing room here I'd also be waxing away about the other big MARVEL NOW! release this week UNCANNY X-FORCE #1 NOW...

But I don't so you're just going to have to buy that one and then tell us how good it is!...

Fancy an adventure... BUB?

























Because Logan's going to a little island just off SAVAGE LAND!...

And in SAVAGE WOLVERINE #1 NOW we are promised a true ol'style adventure classic...

FRANK CHO handling both the writing and arts on this one...

CHO has said he's taken inspiration for the book from INDIANA JONES movies and pulp magazines of the 30's and 40's...

So we're going to be seeing the Adamantium Man tearing it up with T-Rexes, Raptors, Sabretooth Tigers AND the island's other human-esque inhabitants... Oh and there'll probably be a few GIANT APES thrown in for good measure too...

Of course as it's a FRANK CHO book there'll also be more than a fair amount of scantily clad Jungle Queens...

With SHANNA THE SHE-DEVIL taking almost shared billing with the WOLVERINE...

Kicking off with Logan waking in a 'lost world' this book looks like it's going to be a whole lotta fun...
