SPEED RACER: RACER X

Buckle up. The most enigmatic racer in the Speed Racer universe takes the spotlight

Order Here

In the aftermath of a brutal race, Speed Racer regains consciousness behind the wheel—but the driver’s seat is slick with blood, and he has no memory of how it got there. As he spirals into a mystery with global stakes, a shadowy figure watches from afar: Racer X. But is he there to stop Speed, or to protect him? In this gripping reimagining, Mark Russell and Nuno Plati cast a noir sheen over the sleek world of Speed Racer, as secrets, lies, and racing rivalries collide.
