Hang on to your diapies, babies! BOOM! Studios has teamed up with Nickelodeon to produce new Rugrats adventures. Now, after much anticipation, the debut issue of this brand new ongoing has finally arrived.
Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil are back and more intrepid than ever! After running away from two identical Reptar’s in the backyard, Tommy is carted off to his crib for bedtime. Bedtime? No way! Tommy is wide awake and ready to get his revenge on Pepper Penguin. But somehow, right as Tommy goes for the pile driver, his Dad comes in to stop him. In the age of technology, it appears the grownups have learned some new tricks for keeping an eye on the toddlers. With all of the kids being watched through the electronic eyes of baby cams and drones, how are they a’pposed to have any fun?
Award winning writer Box Brown perfectly captures the voices of the Rugrats, that it’s practically impossible to read the comic without hearing each of them. Meanwhile, Lisa Dubois’ unique art style offers a fresh new take on the series. Whether you grew up with the Rugrats or are just getting introduced to them now, this is one series you don’t want to miss out on.
