Crazy idiot kids hitting the neighbourhood. Such evil wishes for the day that a hit-and-run takes them by the hip and crushes their ability to kick the football into the power lines. Everybody has dreams right people?

Anyhow, June 8 approaches with a few weeks away from the end of the fiscal year. Time to crack open the donation rounds.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #9, seems this title makes months move quicker. It's like it was only last month that #7 was out on the shelf. Is this thing on?

It was Battlestar Galactica last week and now this week it's Star Wars: Legacy #0. Like, who can just pass up a comic that cost less than a dollar? Really? Why? These zero issues are great for samplers to a series. If they stick like honey, read on with a nice jumper into the run.

Know what happens on June 1? Nothing much really. There's the turning of a new toothbrush, a drawing of the next loot raffle ticket, but most of all, a new toothbrush for the season. And winter will have officially (according to the calendar) started.

Ultimate Spider-Man #95 is going strong, but the backlog at home is just going balls out crazy. Close to six issues perhaps. That's a lot of reading in a short time. Thankfully, USM allows for such a speed.

But, Battlestar Galactica #0 is the cheap winner of the week. A dinkle of 25 cents. That's cheaper than a train ticket in any kind of concession rate.

Day of days will arrive on May 25. The release of X-Men 3: The Last Stand to close it all out and possibly shoot off with some splinters come good turn of money. Or it could be the new end of the first trilogy set. Who knows, the money knows.

Futurama Comics #25 where Bender, Fry and Leela going all Robin Hood on New New York's grass. Or something like that. There appears to be nothing more than a fuzzy cover out there and a not quite clear solicit read for the issue itself. Still, 25 already is impressive given that 22 remains unread.

Missing the first round of the fight, it was high time to reorder and grab Veronica #167. With Archie and Friends #100 featuring the second appearance of The Veronicas, why not go back and catch them in the act the first time around when it wasn't that far into the past? No reason not to.

May 18 and on this day, the dark con of The Da Vinci Code hits the screens. Be quick with the pain, the next week is when the X alumni return for another instalment.

Interesting for the take on it all, Haunt Of Horror Edgar Allan Poe #1. James Earl Jones on The Raven was good, but how this will work with the moody setting and the execution, that's the interesting part.

Smartly small and quick left jab from under the chin, Fell #5. Always great knowing that the comic in hand finishes out the story at the last page and yet is able to linger a little into a bit of the next.

For all intents and purposes May 11 seems like a nice catch up for some. Recent in their minds, like a month ago is still fresh in their application banks. Out of nowhere and they make mention of something akin to just off the other day. Well, it could be, but it isn't. Not when there's a whole month in between. And with no contact to boot.

After Spider-Girl #98 it'll be two issues left before the very probable end. Never collected it religiously during the start. Wasn't too crazy about the taste during the bulk of the run. Got a little into it a year ago but now looking to join in on the ride out with the waves. Strange that. Like collecting Cerebus and Bone at the end.

Oh, and Ex Machina #20. For the sake of reading something solid and relatively heavy compared to Mayday Parker's adventures. Relatively. Just like a month being recent for some.

May 4 sees the release of Mission: Impossible 3, the second sequel in the Mission: Impossible franchise. And yes, that Tom Cruise will be back again as Ethan Hunt. All good really. Real good. Except for those doves coming out of nowhere all the time and the ripping off of their faces in the second one. Well overdone that was. Really baked.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #8, Weiringo is back on this again, right? Any way, looks like the least depressing of all the Spider-Man comics out there.

And Ultimate Spider-Man #94 seems depressing and feels like it for a while now. Sure, the kid's got problems, but does he do anything in a straight line any more?

At least Archie And Friends #100 will bring in some offbeat action.
