Left for dead and reborn as the masked Racer X, Rex Racer fights to bring down the corrupt racing syndicates from the shadows—while secretly protecting the brother who thinks he’s gone. But when the road home puts his family in the crosshairs, he must choose between redemption and the race.

From the World of Speed Racer!

Rex Racer was burned, betrayed, and left for dead—but he came back as Racer X, a masked vigilante on a mission to take down the corrupt racing syndicates from the inside. As he protects his brother Speed from the shadows, he battles deadly rivals, rigged races, and his own past. With every race, he inches closer to the vengeance he seeks, using his skills to level the playing field for those who race with honor. But when returning home risks the lives of those he loves, Rex must choose between family and the fight.

From award-winning writer Mark Russell (Snagglepuss, Vanishing Point) and fan-favorite artist Nuno Plati (The Amazing Spider-Man) comes a story of a man out for revenge and redemption.
