Cars: The Rookie #1
Update: BOOM! Studios announced today that one of the premiere titles for their new BOOM! Kids imprint, Cars: The Rookie #1 has sold out – in only one week! They also announced a second printing. Cars: The Rookie #1 second print features a brand new photo cover and will hit store shelves mid-May, serving as a great follow-up to the Cars: The Rookie Free Comic Book Day release on May 2nd.
Boom has released a preview of this week’s Cars: The Rookie #1, its latest Pixar property by Alan Porter and Albert Carreres. The solicitation for the issue reads: Cars fans, start your engines! Before the big Dinoco 400 race, rookie sensation Lightning McQueen is interviewed by Darrel 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!
See the preview of Cars: The Rookie #1 from Newsarama. You can also read a review of the first issue on Newsarama here. Cars: The Rookie #1 was released this Wednesday in comic book stores. If you are a Cars fan who also enjoys comic books, you definitely don’t want to miss it.

Cars should definitely transfer well to the comic format, they’re perfect for it – the characters look so animated, the comic will suit them well. I want a copy! Doubt they’ll make it to Ireland any time soon!
Hello All,
I got the regular cover for this comic plus the variant cover at the Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. Boom comics also had a 1 of 500 Ruby Red Lightning McQeen Holifoil version of the comic as well. It is so neat. Great to see Lightning have his own comic. KACHOW!!!!
