The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of MONSTER
MOTORS from IDW Publishing. The story is by Brian Lynch, with art by Nick Roche,
colors by Leonard O’Grady, and letters by Tom B. Long.
Vic Frankenstein
is a young master mechanic. He and his mechanical assistant iGOR have moved to
Transylvania to take over the only garage/junkyard in town. Things are going
fine until a series of attacks on the town’s vehicles finds them bleed of
gasoline. Vic soon discovers that the attacker is a vampire automobile that
calls itself Cadillacula! Can our hero get over his fear of this vehicle and
end its terror? And are there others that are interested in joining this
battle?
Lynch has done a great job of taking the classic monsters
and put a cool twist on them with the vehicle angle. It’s really a fun book that
has a lot of potential for future specials and mini-series. I like Nick Roche’s
style; the monster vehicles look cool and scary, very appropriate for an
all-ages book. Go ahead and pick this book up, you won’t regret it.
MONSTER MOTORS is in stores now, or available for
ordering at www.idwpublishing.com.
