RACER X #4 (OF 8) CVR A FRANCESCO TOMASELLI

On an alpine racecourse, Racer X pits speed against treachery as he faces his deadliest rival, Kim Jugger—the man who once betrayed Rex to the C.A.T. Team. The Wedge Car fights for its life as Jugger’s brutal tactics tear through the track, forcing Racer X to confront a tangle of mob ties and blood-soaked betrayals that forged him. Written by Mark Russell with kinetic art from Nuno Plati, this issue delves into the scars and loyalties behind the racer’s legend, weaving pulsing race action with noir-inflected backstory. A last-second save from Speed upends the plan and shifts the balance of power, pushing Racer X toward a moment of redemption rather than mere victory. With bold covers by Francesco Tomaselli (A) or David Lafuente (B), this installment deepens the character and furthers the series’ high-octane, character-driven saga.
