Look who's back in the MARVEL Ideas House...

With a BIG FAT over-sized issue #1 comic and plenty of wise-cracking mouth!!!

Yes folks it's been almost a year and half of Peter Parker free Spider-Man! And, although the internet seemed about to blow up with web-slinging fans from around the globe logging on in those first few troublesome months of Doc Oc's tenure as the wall crawler, venting their fury and anger... We all made it through!

In fact not only did we make it through, some of us, this Frog Bro included thought that the SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN 31 issue run were actually the best Spidey comics in quite a while!

So whilst it is fair to say that we are excited about 'ol PP coming back, especially as the whole SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN has acted as a reset for the character and it should be the down on his luck but never letting his luck get him down, wise-cracking Peter coming back in AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1.

It's very fair to say we will be missing the Superior Spider-Maning of Doctor Otto Octavius and all of the deliciously dastardly things that he did.

But as they say all good things must come to an end, Rest In Peace Otto and welcome back Peter... We are along for the ride, who's coming with us?

Worried about missing any of the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN? Take out a 6 issue subscription!

Did you miss SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN? Never fear, catch up with the collected books here

The FEAR MONGER is coming...

And with it he's bringing another LANTERN book...

Yes folks, this week we've got SINESTRO #1!!!...

Written by Cullen Bunn, who seems to have a taste for writing the bad guy/ sometime anti-hero, as he is taking on this and currently knocking it out of the park over at Marvel on MAGNETO!...

On arts, making a return to the character after working on one of the few worthwhile VILLAIN'S MONTH comics GREEN LANTERN #23.4 SINESTRO is Dale Eaglesham... 

So do we really need another LANTERN book?...

Yes!....

Especially one that focuses on a character with loads of depth like SINESTRO...

And that is what Bunn is going to be focusing on...

Drawing on his influences of horror fiction and making SINESTRO #1 one of the darker books in the NEW52... 

Whilst also showing that SINESTRO's a layered character, okay he might do some REALLY bad things, but we can probably on some level all relate to why!...

Get in touch to get on a new book about an old relatable bad guy... In SPACE!!!...

The BAT's back baby...

And he's going to keep on coming back every single week for a whole YEAR!!!...

Yes Bat-Fans, this week see's the release of BATMAN ETERNAL #1!!!...

A whole year of fresh BATMAN comics hitting every single week!!!...

Written by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, Kyle Higgins and Tim Seeley. John Layman's work features in the first 12 issues too!!!... 

So what's it all about? Well dear reader it's billed as the start of the Bat-story so big it's going to take every week of the month to tell!...

Featuring a massive cast of Gotham City's best (and worst) and examines the relationship between Batman, his allies and his city....

The first issue finds ol' Jimmy Gordon on the wrong side of the law...

Where it's going to go after that who knows?...

But with that roster of writers on board and a stellar cast of artists including Jason Fabok, Dustin Nguyen, Andy Clarke, Trevor McCarthy, Emanuel Simeoni, Guillem March, Ian Bertram and Mikel Janin... 

We think BATMAN ETERNAL is going to be a winner...

So come on folks GET IN TOUCH to order issue one of a $2.99 BATMAN book today...

Bet we see you next week for issue #2 if you do!!!... 

You hadn't forgotten about this one had you?...

Yes folks, a full 6 months since it was first announced and 3 months late, the wait is finally over...

INHUMAN #1 ANMN is finally here!!!...

Okay, okay, I know it was pretty crappy of MARVEL to bang on about this book, get us all excited and then just leave us hanging for months...

But let's put any bitterness to one side and remember why we were so excited about the book in the first place eh?...

Remember it's THE book that the final couple of issues of the big ol' INFINITY event focused on and laid the groundwork for...

Remember it's THE book that promises to introduce us to the newest super heroes of the Marvel Universe...

Regular folks turned into Inhumans with amazing powers after coming into contact with the Terrigen mist...

So you've probably heard the rumours and now know the great Matt Fraction isn't writing it as originally planned all those moons ago...

But cheer up chum, the equally talented CHARLES SOULE has popped up like a newly powered INHUMAN to save the day...

And it's still JOE MADUREIRA on arts, so we're still in good hands...

So come on folks let us exercise some forgiveness and...

Get in touch to reserve your copy!... 

Goodbye Norm...

The IRON PATRIOT is here, in his own ongoing monthly series and inside the suit?...

Well it's not the guy who wore it first, Norman Osborn, oh no...

The ol' red, white and blue armour is now being worn by someone worthy...

The armor and its title finally adorns a man of selfless ideals... 

Colonel James Rhodey Rhodes...

So is this a book we should be getting excited about?...

Yes...

And hopefully you lot will too when we tell you it's written by Ales Kot, who we've waxed about here before...

And it's drawn by Garry Brown, the awesome talent from Dark Horse's The Massive...

Brown's scratchy lines are going to go down a storm with the storyline jumping between threats coming from both inside the U.S of A and from outer space... 

That our friends is why we're excited about this book, we're betting it's gonna be a winner!…

Need more convincing? Check out this art preview...

And get in touch to reserve your copy!... 

Matt's back baby!...

And he's bringing with him the perfect time to jump onto one of the very best comics being published!...

Yes folks as part of the ALL NEW MARVEL NOW initiative DAREDEVIL #1 ANMN hits the Frog shelves...

And we could not be more excited...

You see the only things changing on this book are the numbering and the town where the 'ol DD gets his business done!...

So yep, Mark Waid is still penning the Man without Fear... 

And it's still going to be Chris Samnee delivering MIND BLOWINGLY GORGEOUS art month after month!...

The FROG BROS cannot find the words to truly explain how much we've loved the old series and were rather worried when word hit that it was coming to an end...

And you should have seen the jigs of joy when Marvel released that it was coming back with the same team!...

Yes folks we are again going to be treated to Matt Murdoch's adventures as told by this stellar team, only this time he'll be billy clubing the bad guys in sunny San Francisco!...

If you missed the last run there could not be a better time to jump on a great title...

But hurry these books are going to go fast!!!...

Get in touch to reserve your copy!... 

Sshhhhh...

Don't tell anyone but there's another new AVENGERS book coming out this week and it looks like a whole lotta fun... But it's a SECRET AVENGERS book... s'no telling 'kay?...

What's that you say dear reader, the MARVEL NOW! SECRET AVENGERS has been going for over a year and sixteen issues that you've enjoyed very much thank you...?...

And you would be right, but... And really don't tell anyone this, in fact...

C'mon closer to the screen, closer, closer...

That SECRET AVENGERS has finished and it's going to be replaced with...

SECRET AVENGERS #1 ANMN...

It's all in the lettering... Let's face it MARVEL never really cared about the numbering!...

So what's going to change? Well the line up now boasts SPIDER-WOMAN...

And there's a kind of new creative team in that Nick Spencer is off, leaving the very talented and original voice of one of comic's fastest growing talents Ales Kot of WILD CHILDREN and ZERO fame...

And it's going to be drawn by ZERO #1 artist Micheal Walsh who's style is perfectly suited to the spy genre but with a massive dash of FUN...

And that girls and boys is going to be the biggest change, the SECRET AVENGERS is going to be much more FUN!!!...

Only one way to see if we're right, and that's to check out issue #1...

Get in touch to reserve your copy... But don't worry the secret is safe with us!...

YOU WANNA GET NUTS?...

LET'S GET NUTS!...

Am I nuts, using a BATMAN quote to tell you about a new MARVEL comic?...

Maybe... But then again maybe it's just about okay when that comic is MOON KNIGHT #1 ANMN!...

MOON KNIGHT y'see is pretty much MARVEL's answer to the question 'What if Batman were somehow even more psychologically damaged?'...

And of course if BATMAN wore white, MOON KNIGHT folks is that nuts, he wears reflective clothes because he WANTS the bad guys to see him coming!!!...

And he is an awesome character!... Who tends to suffer a bit from his multiple personality disorder, the last series this psychosis had him believing he was the AVENGERS... Well 3 of them at least!...

It's a real mystery to me why MOON KNIGHT has never really stuck, the last series only making it to 12 issues and the one before little better at 30...

But this time it's gonna be different with WARREN ELLIS writing and DECLAN SHALVEY and JORDIE BELLAIRE on arts...

And it's MOON KNIGHT back where he belongs in the Big Apple...

Everything about this book looks and sounds GREAT!...

So it's gotta be a winner right?...

Only one way to find out folks, get in touch to reserve your copy...

A washed up action-hero who's out for...

REVENGE #1

From the pen of celebrated celebrity, talk-show host, some time prank call enthusiast and occasional comic book creator Jonathan Ross... 

And the pencil of the very capable and AWESOME Ian Churchill of CABLE, SUPERGIRL and MARINEMAN fame comes...

REVENGE #1...

Guess what it's about?!... 

Originally called the REVENGER to sound like any number of 80's B-movies, but some forward thinking copyrighter put the skids on that one!... 

So the intrepid creative team had to go back to the drawing board...

And knocked off a letter... 

So who's the chap out for REVENGE?...

Griffin Franks, an aging Hollywood joke who suddenly and late on in life hits it big...

Before having it all ripped away from him...

And being left for dead, Griffin sets out for...

Yep you guessed it!...

REVENGE #1 is Big JR's third foray into writing the good stuff after the stellar TURF and AMERICAS GOT POWERS...

The FROG BROS are fast becoming big fans, and word on comic book street is that the first 3 books of this 4 issue mini are finished so it's pretty much guaranteed no delays!...Which is a pretty big thing for a Wossy book...

GET IN TOUCH to get on it... 

SPACE COPS!!!...

Yep a hard boiled, character led new ongoing cop series, set in SPACE!... 

If that doesn't get your blood pumping?...

It's a new ongoing series from IMAGE!... 

It's written by ANTONY JOHNSTON of UMBRAL, WASTELAND and DAREDEVIL fame!!... 

The art's by JUSTIN GREENWOOD also from WASTELAND!!!...

And ... Okay, that's pretty much all we've got...

But isn't that enough folks?... 

FUSE #1 promises to be a detective story set in the kind of 'lived-in' sci-fi where everything feels like it might fall apart at any moment...

THE FUSE #1 follows detectives Ristovych and Dietrich of Midway City's Homicide division, whose jurisdiction is an orbiting power station 22,000 miles up!!!...

These are frontier folk working a new frontier where the law struggles to be heard, let alone obeyed!!!...

We think this is going to be yet another HIT for the publishers IMAGE...

But there's only one way to find out...

GET IN TOUCH to get on it... 

The kid gone grew up!...

As we're sure you all know Asgard is all about death and re-birth, rising and falling... 

And whenever the old place falls you can pretty much bet there's one Asgardian who will get the blame...

And usually with good reason!... 

LOKI, and this week we have the start of a new book starring everyone's favourite trickster god!...

LOKI AGENT OF ASGARD #1 ANMN...

Yep he's back again...

And all grown up, gone is Kieron Gillen's kid LOKI, the FROG BROS' favourite LOKI incarnation so far...

But he's all grown up again... And sometimes a her too, that won't come as a surprise to those of you familiar with J. Michael Straczynski's THOR run (if you're not get out there and find it!)...

So what's this new LOKI AGENT OF ASGARD #1 ANMN all about?... 

Well, in a nut shell, the crafty little bugger has gone and landed a job as the All-Mother’s secret weapon against Asgardia’s strangest threats...

Do we want to go along for the ride?...

You're darn straight we do... How about you?...

Then GET IN TOUCH to get on it... 

We ALL hate goodbye's when it comes to FIREFLY!...

But not to worry folks 'cos this week we have the return of the great JOSS WHEDON'S space cowboys...

Yes yes folks, SERENITY LEAVES ON THE WIND #1 (OF 6) hits the Frog shelves this week...

And although it is a mini-series, the noises coming from DARK HORSE are that the story will be left open to an ongoing series...

Meaning if enough of us buy this series, they'll kick it out in an ongoing series... 

The irony of this and the whole FIREFLY thing is certainly not lost on the FROG BROS!...

So other than a thinly veiled bribe of more to come if you buy, what else can we tell you about the book?...

Well the great Joss isn't writing it but is the Executive Producer...

The actual scribing is being handed over to his brother Zack, so it's still in capable hands as we know from when he penned SERENITY A SHEPHERDS TALE...

And there's another link to the Joss-verse in the illustrator, Gearges Jeanty who's been knocking BUFFY out of the park in the last 2 seasons... 

Story wise it's a sequel to SERENITY taking place 9 months after the movie with the crew hiding from the Alliance...

Basically that's all we know... And all we need too!!!...

If you still need more check out this PREVIEW...

Then GET IN TOUCH to get on it... 

ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE!...

Okay so as a genre Zombies have pretty much been done... Well to death... Sorry...

So why are we getting excited about this one?...

The answer's in the title people..

It's a George Romeros book!!!... 

Yeah baby... The Daddy of the un-dead, at least the proper scary and evil un-dead is bringing his latest gore fest creation to the funny books!!!...

But wait it gets better...

How can it get better than George Romeros writing a brand new corpse walking story for Marvel?... I am sure I just heard you gasp...

Well folks, here's how... 

GEORGE ROMEROS EMPIRE OF DEAD ACT ONE #1 (OF 5) is illustrated by...

ALEX MALEEV!!!...

YES!!! ALEX MALEEV of the great DAREDEVIL VOL.02 and GEORGE ROMERO on a brand new 5 issue mini-series...

Surely we need say no more, other than, GET IN TOUCH to get on it... 

All ages FUN FUN FUN!!!… (the Disney way)...

If you ask me there just aren't enough really good all ages books at the moment...

Hopefully that's about to all change this week with the release of DISNEY KINGDOMS SEEKERS OF WEIRD #1 (OF 5)...

The first comic series published under the all-new Disney Kingdoms banner!...

Created in close partnership with designers, producers, and creative directors from Walt Disney Imagineering... 

It's got to be good right?...

Written by BRANDON SEIFERT, probably best known for his creator own crazy romp WITCH DOCTOR books...

And with art from KARL MOLINE of working with the great Joss Whedon on BUFFY and assorted spin-offs fame... 

The Disney Kingdoms line promises new and exciting adventures expanding upon already beloved lands, attractions, characters, and worlds of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts... 

DISNEY KINGDOMS SEEKERS OF WEIRD #1 (OF 5) is inspired by the apparently legendary but never constructed Museum of the Weird...

So can the Disney boys and girls turn their hands to comics?...

Follow teens Maxwell and Melody, thrust into a thrilling race through the world's strangest and most dangerous museum when their parents are kidnapped to find out!... 

If you are interested in going along for the ride Holler here!...

It's official... It's now an AVENGERS WORLD...

And you know what that means?...

Yep, you guessed it folks, another AVENGERS book coming out of Marvel!...

So like me you might have thought that INFINITY was pretty awesome but the final issue seemed, well just like a bit of a spring board...

But for what?...

Then along came INHUMANITY (kind of, what's a deadline between friends and fans?)...

But the House of Ideas aren't stopping there, oh no, not when there's...

AVENGERS WORLD #1 ANMN!!!...

Written by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Spencer with art by Stefano Caselli AVENGERS WORLD promises to build on what started in INFINITY...

And have a big old rolling cast that features the core AVENGERS we all know and love but also give us more of the new breed like Hyperion, Smasher, Cannonball, Shang-Chi, Starbrand and Sunspot...

Who knows we may also get to see more of the other worlds our guys led the fight to save in INFINITY...

Interested in going along for the ride? Get in touch and let us know... 

The Dead Boys are back...

Still dead, but back...

Yes folks Charles and Edwin, the founding members of the DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY are back in DEAD BOY DETECTIVES #1... 

The loveable spooks we were first introduced to in Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN have their own ongoing monthly title from Vertigo...

Is the great Gaiman writing it?...

No...

But don't get all upset at that folks as it's been left in the very capable hands of Toby Litt and Mark Buckingham, with art by Buckingham and Gary Erksine...

And yep, the big guy's given his blessing to the project...

For those of you not familiar with the SANDMAN series, the Dead Boys are a couple of former students of St. Hilarions School for Boys, who died about 75 years apart... 

Both horribly at the hands of some rather nasty bullies...

Due to a few different reasons DEATH hasn't taken them on to where they're meant to be...

She will get round to it, in her own time...

But until that time the boys will be entertaining us, solving mysteries...

Interested in going along for the ride? Get in touch and let us know...

It is a story of animals...

It is a story of wolves and bears...

It is a story of animals... 

Most of all it is a story of WOLVERINE...

And it's FREEKIN' AWESOME!!!...

Oh yes folks ORIGIN II #1 (OF 5) is a Chrimbo treat for all of us that love comic books...

Adam Kubert has knocked it out of the park with some amazingly beautiful art work...

The centre page spread of the bear massacre is worth the cover price alone!...

Throw in Kieron Gillen's super tight script and you've got an amazing comic that could have fallen very very flat... 

Coming as it does a good ten years after the celebrated first volume...

ORIGIN II #1 really is a fantastic start...

And it's got a bear...

Holler now to get the full mini-series!!!...

It's time to get SERIOUS!...

Alright maybe not serious, it is still a HARLEY QUINN comic book...

But a bit more serious than the #0 issue... 

We've got ol' Harleen's book kicking off properly this week in HARLEY QUINN #1...

Snappy title eh?...

You're probably wondering if we're going to get a stellar roster of artists lining up to plot her way through like the fabled issue #0...

And the answer my friends would be no...

The chap chosen above all others to pencil this one is Chad Hardin, who's awesome work was last seen on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA 7.3 SHADOW THEIF...

If you missed it we still had copies with those crazy lenticular 3D covers at the time of writing!!!...

If the first few pages are anything to go by HARDIN is going to be a great fit to Harley (check out those pages here)...

And then give us a shout to get on HARLEY QUINN ongoing!!!... 

Le Smash!?...

Yes folks it's the release of the last MARVEL KNIGHTS mini-series from this batch and we've got the Big Ol' Green Smashing Machine taking center stage!!!...

In Paris?!...

MARVEL KNIGHTS HULK #1 (OF 4)...

Yep, yep, yep but is it going to be Le Smash?...

The story kicks off with an amnesiac Bruce Banner waking up with the Seine and seemingly no ability to turn into the Hulk!...

We know that's not going to last though right? I mean it'd be like them releasing the AGE OF ULTRON without ULTRON...

Okay, okay... But they wouldn't do it again!!!...

And anyways we've got it on good authority that the big boy will be making an appearance...

Who's authority?...

Only the mind blowingly creative, creative team behind this beast of Joe Keatinge and Piotr Kowalski...

KEATINGE you'll know from HELL YEAH and MORBIUS THE LIVING VAMPIRE...

And KOWALSKI from his run on the glorious and racy SEX (or at least those of you old enough to read it)...

This really is a creative team taking the Hulk to new places and if the previous 2 MARVEL KNIGHTS mini's SPIDER-MAN and X-MEN are anything to go by we are in for a TREAT!!!...

As always give us a shout to get on it!!!... 

OH the Humanities!...

Exactly one week after the last over arcing Marvel event that promised to shake the universe to it's very core - INFINITY... Comes the next over arcing Marvel event that promises to shake the universe to its very core - INHUMANITY!!!...

Yes folks the week wait is finally over and INHUMANITY #1 is here as of Wednesday!...

C'mon don't tell me you've forgotten about BLACK BOLT detonating a Terrigan Bomb in INFINITY #4?...

I suppose I'll let you off if you did, it was slightly overshadowed by that bit with Mjolnir!...

So anyways you don't let one of those things off without there being some rather significant ramifications...

What kind of ramifications? Well let me tell you...

Terrigan Bombs my good friends release the Terrigan Mist...

Terrigan Mist activates dormant abilities in Inhuman descendants...

Which in turn means there's going to be a whole lot of new 'powered up' folks around for us and the AVENGERS to get to know...

And this one-shot by the AWESOME MATT FRACTION kicks it all off in wonderful style...

And serves as a lovely lead into the much anticipated April release of the new ongoing INHUMAN book...

So come on Guys' n Gals' give us a shout and get on this next big thing right at the start!!!...
