Kaboom  KABO   (Awesome, 1997-1998) ™ and ©1997 Awesome Entertainment LLC

It’s Geof Sunrise’s sixteenth birthday. He knows the good things are soon coming his way: a driver’s license, hanging out past midnight, and girls. Geof digs Alicia Watcher, the best-looking girl in school, but she ignores him. Kate Winslow, the girl next door digs Geof, but he ignores her.

Then, a Japanese saxophone-playing stranger named Zang gives Geof something more powerful than he can imagine. Could it be keys to a street-racing machine? No. Could it be a deadly dose of bad breath? Guess again. It’s access to the Kaboom Power Cycle, the mystic source of all power! As the icing on Geof’s cake, the Nine, a group of demons, is seeking the Kaboom Power Cycle to fulfill their own mischievous purposes. Enjoy your birthday Geof Sunrise: you may not live long enough to experience your seventeenth!
