That makes sense to me Tom, but there seem to be a lot of people who
don`t know the unspoken word! <lol>

I automatically wave at all Vettes regardless of year. Some return it,
but some younger drivers in C5`s & 6`s don`t seem to get it.

Ric, have you ever had it dynoed? Any idea how much hp/torque you`re
putting down at the wheels? I checked your website but couldn`t find
any specs on the Vette. Is it on your site?

Title: Cars: The Rookie TPB
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:57:42 +0000
Author: v1kthor
Escrito por Alan J. Porter, Arte por Albert Carreres, Colores por Emily Kanalz (Issues 1-3) & Flavio B. Silva (Issue #4), Publicado por Boom! Kids.
No solamente estamos viendo en la actualidad las adoptaciones de historias salidas de los comics a la pantalla grande. El proceso inverso es cada día más común. Sin embargo, no son adaptaciones, son historias propias que cubren “huecos” entre las diversas secuelas de peliculas (o incluso de videojuegos) o sirviendo como prologos a las historias del cine.
Y precisamente, en el último caso se encuentra Cars: The Rookie TPB. Inspirado en los personajes de la pelicula de Pixar. Boom! Kids nos brinda esta historia que nos narra el origen de Lightning McQueen y cómo llegó a ser la sensación de la Piston Cup.
La historia es presentada en el modo de flashbacks cuando Lightning McQueen es entrevistado por Darell Cartrip del programa Rev Limits. Nos enteramos que Lightning McQueen al principio fue conocido como Bulldozer McQueen cuando competía en las carreras locales. Al demostrar lo veloz que es, va adquiriendo fama, hasta que comete un garrafal error y todo se va a la basura. En esos desastrozos momentos es cuando conoce a Mack. Aunque Mack y Bulldozer McQueen se unen para llegar a las “grandes ligas”, McQueen engaña a Mack ya que él realmente tiene otros planes.Aunque Mack descubre la traición de McQueen lo perdona y vuelven a formar pareja. Sin embargo, un retiro inesperado hace que tenga la oportunidad de participar con los Rusty Cars. Aunque al principio, el ego de McQueen hace que tenga problemas, logra sorprender a todos y empieza a alcanzar los primeros lugares. Es cuando su peor enemigo The King le da el mote de “Lightning” McQueen, debido a que cuando compite, su viraje y sus rebases tiene la forma de un rayo. El final ya lo conocemos (gana la Piston Cup).
El guión de Alan J. Porter es simple y de diálogos e historia no complejos. Considerando que esta historia está dedicado a los niños y sirve como un primer contacto con los cómics y empezar a cautivarlos en este mundo gráfico. La lectura (además) se ve reforzada por la aparición de diversos personajes de la pelicula y el origen de Lightning McQueen va de acuerdo al personaje, aunque en cierta manera es predecible.
El arte de Albert Carreres destaca de sobremanera. Sus trazos son caricaturescos, simple pero con grandes momentos. Sobre todo, es digno de aplaudir las escenas de las carreras, donde te atrapa y te mantiene pegado al cómic. More on: http://hablemosdecomics.wordpress.com/2009/09/26/cars-the-rookie-tpb/
