Rescue Rangers #3
Boom Comics
Written by Ian Brill
Art by Leonel Castellaini

Here’s another Disney cartoon that’s gone to the comic book. Chip and Dale are out trying to save the world. Fat Cat has found a way to control the world’s animals. It’s up to Chip, Dale, Monterey, Gadget and Zipper to put a stop to him. Now, can continue to sound like a commercial writing this but I almost felt like I was slipping back into the cartoon that made the team famous. You can easily loose yourself, no matter how old you are, as you read this book with the story very plausible to be from an afternoon cartoon or a true spy movie.

The writing didn’t dominate this story, it was enough to keep everything going and tell what needed to be said. This book is truly written for all ages. The accents are there for the characters, whether spoken or not. The art was, just as I like it, out of the cartoon, you can’t go wrong in my book if you’re doing this style of work. Each panel was easy to follow and moved the story along really well. The overall feel was that of the cartoon, score one for the children of the ‘80’s, you know who you are.
This is an ongoing series as Boom establishes this book.

But thankfully, this book stands on it’s own so you don’t have too many questions what happened in issues 1 or 2. If you have young kids and are looking for something to get them started in comics (no, you’re not brainwashing them, you’re just broadening their interests, trust me) this would be a good start. It’s very safe and kid (and adult) friendly. In my humble opinion, you’ll want to pick this up as a easy read that’s a fun ride, no matter who you are. I give this 5 caps out of 5.
