The Shooting Star is in flames. Alpha Automotive is in free fall. And Dante Ferno is calmly stuffing a squirrel. As Racer X hits the icy switchbacks of the Great Alpine Race in a mysterious new car, the Tiger Syndicate closes in, racers play dirty, and Dante serves poison with a smile. But when a landslide threatens to wipe out the field, only one car can cut a path to survival...provided it doesn’t run out of brake fluid first!
Racer X immediately established itself as a perfect accompaniment to Speed Racer (if not strictly necessary to read). This is the most action-centric issue yet, but it never leaves the series complex character development and motivations behind. Racer X #3 is a must have for Speed Racer fans. Read Full Review
Racer X may not be the most in depth series, but it does provide nice context as a companion to Speed Racer.
