  Im not sure why these Cars mini-series have failed to capitalise on the potential of the cast of characters that we saw in the original Cars movie, restricting themselves to filling in elements of backstory that arent particularly exciting or integral to the characters or the world of the movie. I can only assume that, with a sequel in the works, the creators of the original movie are placing certain restrictions on the elements of the Cars universe that can be exploited in BOOM! Studios licensed comics. Its the only explanation that I can think of for the baffling approach taken by this mini-series and its predecessor, both of which have explored fairly uninteresting background elements rather than making the most of the opportunities offered by the rich cast of characters and the new status quo that we were left with at the end of the first movie.
