SPEED RACER HC VOL 01 DELUXE EDITION (9781545830703)

Start your engines—the road to the new Mad Cave Studios reboot begins here! Honoring over five decades of legacy, Speed Racer roars back to life with a high-octane new series that blends classic thrills with a bold vision for a new generation. Buckle up for an explosive new take on Speed Racer—where underground races are lethal, a crime syndicate has his family in its sights, and the road to victory is lined with bullets, betrayal, and burning rubber. In this high-octane reboot from David Pepose and Davide Tinto, Speed’s toughest battle won’t be on the track… it’ll be surviving what comes after the finish line. We're going pedal to the metal in this all-new interpretation of Tatsuo Yoshida’s classic manga/anime MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as the demon on wheels—Speed Racer! Speed Racer lives for the thrill of the race, but on the underground circuit, the rules are anything goes. Dodging bullets, explosions, and dirty tricks, he’s got one goal: to prove he’s the best. But when a dangerous syndicate targets his family, Speed’s greatest challenge won’t be on the track…it’ll be on the streets. With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can’t be won with horsepower alone. Award-winning writer David Pepose (Space Ghost, Savage Avengers) and superstar artist Davide Tinto (Ultraman: The Mystery of the Ultraseven, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters) co-pilot an action-packed reboot of the classic franchise.
