“Cars” comic book relaunched

The hit 2006 movie “Cars” has been relaunched as a ongoing comic book series by Boom! Studios, according to a report by Newsarama.

A "Cars" comic book cover, with the cover taking place in Radiator Springs.

Boom! Studios had a four-part miniseries inspired by the film and its locale in the  fictional Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. The miniseries got a good response, prompting the publisher to do it again.

The new ongoing focuses on new stories set after the movie, and it starts in this week’s Cars #0 with Lightning McQueen organizing a charity race at his new race track in Radiator Springs. […]

That story ends with Issue #3, then the second story arc (Issues #4-7) is planned to be what Porter calls a “fun cross-country ride in the spirit of the  Cannonball Run and Wacky Races as various characters from the Cars franchise team up for the ‘Route 66 Dash.'”

According to the report, the “Cars” comic book series attracted a following among adults reading to their kids and memorabilia collectors.
