Ciencin, Scott Star Bus: Attack of the Cling-Ons.


Ciencin, Scott    Star Bus: Attack of the Cling-Ons.   
Stone Arch see Capstone
      2011  40p   22.65 978-1-4342-2637-2 ms    Graphic novel           VG   

 This engaging parody of the original Star Trek television series and movies is presented in graphic novel format. 
The characters are on their way to a comic book convention in their Star
(School) Bus when they are hijacked and sent off on an “ongoing mission for one
gang of geeks” against the Cling-On Cheerleading Empire.  Needless-to-say, all
comes out well after the final battle.  The book ends with a “biography” of each
of the main personalities, a series of discussion questions and writing prompts,
a glossary, and a link to Capstone’s web site and the corresponding book I. D.  
All in all, this would be a very enjoyable read for those who know the originals.
