Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Boom Studios CARS Comic Book & Other Pixar …
For those who missed the preview from a few weeks ago, Boom Studios is releasing a short series of CARS comics and some other Pixar ones. If your comic book store is large, they might be ordering these but if they’re a smaller store, they may not be getting these plus since it’s a smaller comic publisher, you might need to pre-order (and pre-pay) to be sure you will get this series.
CARS #1 comes in cover versions (a common tactic in comic book publishing).
The Official name of the comic is : Cars: The Rookie and this one is of course …
Cars: The Rookie #1
Cars fans, start your engines! Before the big Dinoco 400 race, rookie sensation Lightning McQueen is interviewed by Darrell Cartrip. Full of braggadocio, McQueen reveals his scrappy origins as “Bulldozer” McQueen–a local short track racer who dreams of the big time…and recklessly plows his way through the competition to get there!
The (comic distributor) “Diamond Code number” is: JAN094067. Then specify the cover you want or if you want both.

Cars: The Rookie #2
Lightning McQueen’s untold origin story continues! McQueen has just befriended Mack, and the two ragtag dreamers hit the road together. When they arrive at Piston Cup’s pre-season testing track, McQueen and Mack are ignored by all the pros. But McQueen will do anything to get his big break!
“Diamond Code number” is: FEB094146.

Cars: The Rookie #3
Lightning McQueen’s thrilling origin story continues! During McQueen’s first big race, he makes an enemy of irascible racer Chic Hicks! And why does McQueen’s pit crew seem to dislike him, as well? Can McQueen check his ego at the finish line and gain some much-needed respect?
“Diamond Code number” is: MAR094135.

There is no cover art available for #4 yet but #4 completes the CARS: The Rookie story arc.
If you’re interested, they are also starting a series on Finding Nemo, The Incredibles & Toy Story so you can ask your local comic store to order these for you also.

COOL , but there is a terrible terrible error in the first pick:
a HUMAN crane , and in the world of the cars , they’ll problaby wont know how its a HUMAN!!!!! That ruins the tape of the comic 🙁
A COMIC BOOK OF CARS?? HMMMMMMMM……. GOTTA CHECK IT OUT
Awesome!! I got out of the singles racket (comics that is…) awhile back, but I’m looking forward to these. As are the kids.
Thanks for the heads-up!
I kinda like the art. It doesnt have to be Alex Ross or anything. This is for kids after all. It looks like most of their issues can be ordered from their website if you dont have a comic store nearby.
These would be cool if the art didn’t suck.
I’m just not a fan of the drawings.
(MET: So, when’s the CARS:ALT comic book coming? 😉 ).
Man, I have got to figure out where I can get this around here. Do you think Borders, Hastings or Barnes & Noble would be able to get something like this??
your best bet would be Hastings….I use them for everything!!!!!
I can’t wait to get these!
Any chance these can be ordered from outside the US ?
Nemo and Cars looks pretty interesting.
Never was an Incredibles fan.
I like the cover with all the racers.
Isn’t there supposed to be a free Cars comic available on Free Comic Book Day also?
What a great way to come up with new cars to bring to retail 😉
On the Free Comic Day website, it did look like the Cars comic would be available. There’s a comic book store right around the corner from us. That would be so much fun to take my son up and have him get a Cars comic. Awesome! Can’t wait.
