Set in the 1980s, this brightly-colored action-packed comic stars Wax, a preteen with ambitions of being the best DJ in the world. He raps and scratches with his best friend about his crush, his job working in his uncle's ice cream truck, his fierce little sister, and life in Brooklyn. One day his music sends an unexpected signal into space and an alien ship captures the whole corner of his block and transports in to Discotopia: a world of rapping robots, kung-fu masters, and hip hop battles to the death. It turns out Wax's song has accidentally entered him into a series of dangerous tests with the fate of his family and his world resting in his hands! I was really impressed by how much plot this book very effectively fit into a tight package. It moves quick but never feels rushed. A nostalgic ode to the author's childhood, delightfully playful, and hopefully the beginning of an ongoing series!
