Wacky Raceland

Love it!!!😁

I really adored the characters and how they're introduced, really love the inclusion of trans, mutants, animals, bots and females. This is really epic so far!

At first you get a little overwhelmed, there is a ton of characters. It is Hannah Barbera's Mad Max, sure, but the presentation feels like LOST, with some characters' flashback interweaving the narrative. I hope it continues the format. There is some gruesome imagery, be warned. The characters are lovable jacksasses, they are competing with each other by now just for points, but one day they gonna have to kill each other.

Very cool read, interesting modernization of classic characters, wasnt sure what to expect but pleasantly suprised, hope they decide to run this again in the future.

This was a pretty fun read. It's the end of the world; earth's crawling with mutants, cannibals and all sorts of regular @$$hats trying to survive. However, if you are chosen by "the Announcer," you have the chance to enter "utopia" by doing one thing: win enough races. I liked the updates made to a lot of the characters, like Making Penelope Pitstop a real badass and making private Meekly a transvestite. The book gets pretty dark sometimes, like what they did with Professor Pat Pending and can get disturbing. The artwork can get a little too muddy at times, but overall I liked it just fine. If you're an long time fan of Wacky Races and you want to see what would happen if it was like Death Race meets Mad Max, then this is the book for you!

Great story line. If you like twisted nostalgia you'll enjoy this.

Cool art, and I really dig the approach to rejuvenating and gritty take on the series. But the writers (or the heavy hand of DC) inject a lot of SJW messaging. Also, there really isn't that much cool vehicular action in it, unlike what you'd expect going in.

This graphic novel is amazing. It takes a cartoon I loved as a kid and reimagined it into something I can love as an adult. I cannot recommend this graphic novel enough. Pick it up now.

Wer sich noch an die niedlichen Wacky Races von Hanna Barbera erinnert, die in Deutschland - zu dem Zeitpunkt bereits mit über 20 Jahren auf dem Buckel - erstmals MItte der 90er auf Pro7 ausgestrahlt wurden, der wird beim Blick in den Comic sein blaues Wunder erleben. Wer hingegen bereits andere Hanna-Barbera-Adaptionen von DC-Comics gelesen hat, weniger überrascht sein: Wacky Raceland ist ein ziemlich düsterer, stellenweise sogar brutaler Comic, der die Rennserie vor dem Hintergrund einer Weltuntergangs-Dystopie inszeniert. Die bekannten Figuren werden dabei ordentlich angeraut, sodass von den knuff-bunten Rennfahrern und Männern in ihren fliegenden Kisten nur wenig übrig bleibt. Aber das muss ja erstmal nicht schlecht sein. Schlecht hingegen ist die Geschichte, ein belangloser Einstieg, der dann aber schnell blutiges Heldensterben verspricht - ohne dieses Versprechen einzulösen - ein durch viele Rückblenden etwas spannungsarmer Hauptteil und eine hahnebüchene Auflösung lassen einen als Leser am Ende ratlos zurück. Das Ende ist dabei so wirr, dass ich an der Ernsthaftigkeit des Autors gezweifelt habe. Abgerundet wird dieses Leseerlebnis durch ein dunkles, aber ebenfalls völlig konfuses Art-Work mit viel schwarzer Tinte, das stellenweise nur erahnen lässt, was eigentlich in dem jeweiligen Panel geschehen soll. Für Fans der Figuren vielleicht eine interessante Spielart, aber allen anderen würde ich wirklich empfehlen, die Finger von dem Band zu lassen.

I wanted to like this much more than I did. I grew up with the Wacky Racers and thought a post-apocalyptic race was a grand idea for this revamp of the cartoon. I did enjoy the book and had great fun with the characters; I really like how they all were updated and the time spent on giving backstories for the main characters. All the teams are accounted for in this volume but the main focus is on Penelope and Dastardly with a few others taking up secondary positions. I really liked that the cars were all sentient with A.I.! The problem I had was there was just too much jumping around, both from character to character and from pre- to post-apocalypse. It's a very complicated plot which gets somewhat lost in all the various goings-on. However, the ending focused on the plot having everyone join together in the present. Even though this book is not labelled volume 1 and it does have a solution to the main arc, the ending leaves us in the lurch with an obvious "more to come" conclusion. If there is a second volume I know I'll be there as I really like the characters in this. Oh, I also loved the Mad Max feel to the art!

There's no Spoilers in this review outside of the nature of the Comic. When it comes to the Hannah Barbera DC Edgy reboots Wacky Races stands alongside Flintstones and Scooby-Doo as the best of the Bunch. It is to be entertaining and fun despite its Apocalyptic setting. It's a good move for the Hannah Barbera properties to not try to take themselves too seriously. Pros & Cons of this story for whoever is buying. Pros: It's a one and done for this volume for other series you would need more than one Trade paperback( Scooby & Flintstones for example) Everyone of the Wacky Racers gets a issue to shine showcasing their Car Gimmick. Cons: There is a plot twist swerve at the end that makes its conclusion open ended. And well done you should know this as no continuation. Besides all the product is fine It's your standard Market Trade paperback, I think any Comic fan knows the look of it.

Excelente! Que história massa! Eu gostava do desenho, mas essa reconstrução ficou ainda melhor! Quem curte HQ, desenhos e automobilismo, vai se divertir bastante com essa obra.

I loved this! It was brilliant seeing a dystopian, post-apocalyptic take on the familiar Wacky Races gang. I loved reading all their different backstories, from Dick Dastardly’s fall from family man to race car villain, to Blubber Bear’s transformation from human to bear-man hybrid, and liked the modern take on Penelope Pitstop, though I read all her lines in a Southern Belle accent in my head, and I doubt they were written to be read that way. All in all, excellent.
