BONUS REVIEW by GARY OWENS
Boom! Kids brings out the second title in their series of “kid” books, as Disney/Pixar’s Lightning McQueen, from the movie Cars, works to be the next Piston Cup champion. The story is told through the eyes of Lightning McQueen, and fits in nicely with the movie, since I can envision this tale to have happened during the time lapses in it. Nice story, great dialogue, a fun, fun, fun read for anyone…must admit, even better than The Incredible’s from last week! Only historically curious note I have, not to do with the story at all, is the non-appearance of the Comics Code Authority stamp on the cover. If anything should be marked as “Safe for Kids”, it’s this issue... Great Buy!
