I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Motor Crush Vol 1 by Brenden Fletcher (Creator), Cameron Stewart (Creator), Babs Tarr (Creator), Heather Danforth (Color and Production Assistant), and Aditya Bidikar (Letterer)


Set in the city of Nova Honda, this comic tells the tale of Domino Swift a motorcycle racer whose adoptive father owns a repair shop and helps her out with her racing.  She is an up and comer in a sport that is dominated by Decimus Wexler.  At night she goes on illegal street races for crush, which is this pink liquid stuff that you put inside your motorcycle to make it run faster and is highly illegal, but everyone uses.  She never loses.

At this particular race, the man who works for her dad is there and is killed for trying to steal the crush prize.  When she gets home she finds that he stole her stash of crush as well. She is desperate to get it back and does something stupid to do so and loses her bike.  She ends up going to her old mechanic who wants nothing to do with her, Lola. Lola has problems of her own as she owes money to the producers who run things.  Lola does have a bike for Dom to ride though, and it's perfect.

Now Dom is being followed by a stranger who knows more about her than she knows about herself, like why she has to use her inhalers and what is in those inhalers, because she was in an accident and needed her inhaler and all she had was the  crush and she used it and it worked, which would have killed any normal person.  Soon Dom is doing something unthinkable to get them all out of trouble.  This is a fast-paced book that keeps you on the edge of your seat asking plenty of questions that you don't get all of the answers to.  I love the color of warm pink that permeates this comic, which is the color of the crush that seems to drive everything in the story.  This is a fabulous start to a new series and I can't wait to read the next book.
