While everyone else is sending out solicitations for May, Moonstone Books dropped off the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in June 2009.
The Wild Asses of the Kush
I wasn’t really thrilled with the last Buckaroo Banzai outing from Moonstone Books, but the glutton for punishment that I am over my slavish devotion to the hard rockin’ scientist and his Hong Kong Cavaliers had me sitting down and checking out the simply titled Wild Asses of the Kush. No, it’s not a story about a drug trip on some of the best weed you’ve ever inhaled, but it is full of more ass jokes than you can shake a stick at.
It’s good to be thinking ahead, especially when it comes to the comics coming down the pipe. Moonstone Books has sent Major Spoilers the cover images and solicitation information for titles arriving in May 2009.

The final chapter in the opening gambit of the new Captain Action!
The first shot fired in the takeover of the United States happened not with a bang, but with a whisper. Ride along with us as we discover who’s been infected with the Red Crawl, who hasn’t, and who’s who! And what or who is Dr. Evil? And what is the President going to do about ? This smash-mouth issue delivers! And next issue…MORE Captain Action than ever before!
Across the 7th Dimension?
Wow, I can’t believe it was August when I last looked upon the Buckaroo Banzai prequel from Moonstone Books. In that time, I pretty much forget everything that happened in the first issue. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as it gave me time to forget about the slips in continuity that comes from someone who hasn’t watched the source material 100,000 times since 1984. Instead of a four or five issue mini-series, the prequel is wrapped up in two. Too much? Not enough? Or have the halcyon days of the Hong Kong Cavaliers disappeared for good?

How much would people hate you if you destroyed their heroes?

Meanwhile, Crescent is about to eliminate someone from the past, but who can get the drop on the ultimate infiltrator?

Or – “Major Spoilers, Major Time Crunch! I Blame Stephen!”
There’s a couple of reasons why I do what I do here at Major Spoilers… The first is, I love comics, and I know you do, too. (See what I did there?) I want you to look at Wednesdays the same way I do, with a combination of joy, expectation, and “What in the world will they do next?” Basically, I want to share the love.
Also, and possibly more importantly, I’m an attention whore. Problem is, I actually have two jobs other than this one, both of which tend to suck a lot of time out of my day. I’ve fallen waaaaaay behind in my daily reviews (or, honestly, my thrice-a-week reviews, lately) and in order to keep from reviewing things that came out three or four weeks ago, I’ve decided to give you some extra bang for your buck, with a smorgasbord of reviews that I’ve fallen behind on. It’s something like Friday nights when I was a kid, where you’d have whatever was in the fridge for supper, because nobody’s going to waste their time cooking for ya. Heck, if it works out, we may do this on a semi-regular basis to remind you of the comics that I probably couldn’t honestly see devoting a whole review to. And now, ON WE GO!
