Speed Racer: Tales from the Road is an all-new Quarterly release featuring a one-shot tale and backup shorts that expand the universe of Speed Racer! Before Speed, there was Pops. From hot-rod racer to new father, Pops’ grease-stained hands built the Racer family legacy through triumph, tragedy, and invention. Witness the origins of the Auto Jacks, the heartbreak of Rex, and the lessons that shaped Speed’s future in this heartfelt, high-octane one-shot! Also featuring a Dante Ferno story where he pays the price for total domination!
The greater variety of the anthology series second issue offers a welcome expansion of the Speed Racer universe. Though nothing here is required reading for the other series ongoing storylines, all three entries add extra flavor to the world. Speed Racer: Tales from the Road #2 is a very good companion issue for readers enjoying Speed Racer. Read Full Review
I thought it was perfectly fine. Entertaining. Not sure if it was worth 7 bucks, but it was decent.
