  Speed Racer #8 brings us a beautiful love story that is complimented by the amazing action-filled story we’ve become accustomed to in this series.

This series has been consistently entertaining and amazing, which proves why it’s one of the best titles on the shelf. If you are not reading Speed Racer, you need to grab a copy ASAP and dive headfirst into this world! Read Full Review
