PREVIEW: 'Racer X' #1 by Mark Russell, Nuno Plati, and Giada Marchisio

A brand-new limited comic series delving into the dark, conflicted world of the masked vigilante himself: Racer X.


From Eisner and GLAAD Award-winning writer Mark Russell (The Flintstones, Second Coming), acclaimed artist Nuno Plati (Gatchaman, Marvel’s Spider-Man), colorist Giada Marchisio, and letters by Buddy Beaudoin, RACER X redefines the shadows of the Speed Racer mythos—drifting into darker territory while honoring the legacy that fans have cherished for generations.

An exciting new mini-series that ties into Mad Cave Studio’s hit Speed Racer series! Before he was Racer X, Rex Racer was a rising star—until the racing world chewed him up and left him for dead. Now masked, scarred, and driving for revenge, he’s back on the circuit with one goal: protect his brother, take down the syndicate, and outrun his past.

Writer: Mark Russell
Artist: Nuno Plati

RACER X #1 will be available at comic shops and the Mad Cave site on September 10, 2025!










“I've loved the Speed Racer cartoons since I was a kid. But as an adult, I feel like Racer X is the character who speaks to me the most. So while I'm thrilled to be working in a universe I've loved for so long, getting to write a character with the mystique and gravity of Racer X makes it a truly unique opportunity, I hope readers not only enjoy the new direction in which I'm taking Racer X, but sense the love and respect I have for the character as well.”  
– Writer, Mark Russell
“After working on Gatchaman, it’s an amazing opportunity to be able to work on another awesome Tatsunoko creation, Racer X. And on top of that, having the pleasure of collaborating with the great Mark Russell, and alongside the very cool Mad Cave family once again! It’s been really challenging and fun to work on the darker side of the Speed Racer universe. We’re bringing a “noir” feeling to the usually really bright and shiny Speed Racer world, and capturing a good balance between the two has been great fun.”
– Artist, Nuno Plati

He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
