An all-new continuation of Tatsuo Yoshida's classic manga/anime, MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as Speed Racer!

Meanwhile, Mark Russell and Chris Batista drive a backup tale that leads directly into a Racer X spin-off series. One part Drive, another part Baby Driver, and another part Fast and Furious — with classic anime/manga inspiration throughout — fans new and old are given a front-row seat to exciting tales of action, adventure, overcoming challenges, and family.

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch May 1, 2025

    Narratively, both stories in Speed Racer #0 harken back to the manga that originated the concept. There are also visual callbacks. Readers familiar with past Speed Racer incarnations will recognize a lot of what is being set up here. That said, this issue (and presumably the series) is completely approachable for new readers. Speed Racer #0 is a must have for Free Comic Book Day, and if this issue is any indication of the upcoming series quality, the first issue will be worth checking out as well. Read Full Review
