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. Collects issues 1-5 plus the Free Comic Book Day short story.
Younger readers may consider the material and stories in this omnibus dated. But for a guy like me who grew up reading these comics it was pure enjoyment. I prefer this era of DD over the more gritty stories of the Frank Miller (and beyond) era. Don't get me wrong, Frank Miller's work is excellent but it was after my time. It doesn't stir up the nostalgiac feelings of Daredevils simpler days when I was reading him.
As for Mixed Bag Comics. I have nothing but praise! My order was processed immediately. The omnibus was securely packaged and was in my mailbox less than a week after I ordered it. Keep up the excellent service!
