Speed Racer #1 delivers on the high-octane thrills while also exploring Speed's struggle to prove himself in his brother's shadow. It's a nuanced look at the emotional side of racing. Last but not least, the unique element that every driver brings to the race continues to be a highlight, raising the stakes even higher when rivet guns, bottle-rocket launchers, and “skull-n-bones mace” get involved. But ultimately, as the comic reminds us, it's about the driver, not just the car. Read Full Review

Speed Racer issue one was a pleasant surprise - the Free Comic Book Day preview wasn’t my cup of tea … I’m not saying that this comic is totally in my wheelhouse - but I was impressed. The character’s weren’t too deep but in a comic like this it’s not necessary. What I liked was the pace of the book … there was a sense of speed in the art and storytelling that I really enjoyed. The sequence racing to the hospital really sucked me into the pages and I felt a sense of motion between the panels. When the book ended I was surprised it was only 26 pages … David Pepose really packed a lot of story into this book! I think I’ll be adding Speed Racer to my pull list.
