SPEED RACER TALES FROM THE ROAD A WRENCH IN PLANS (ONE SHOT)

Speed Racer: Tales from the Road - A Wrench in Plans is an all-new quarterly release that delivers a one-shot tale plus backup shorts that expand the Speed Racer universe.

This volume chronicles Pops origins, the creation of the Auto Jacks, and the heartbreak of Rex, laying emotional groundwork for Speed's future adventures. A Dante Ferno backup story adds another layer by showing the consequences of total domination. Written by Richard Hamilton, Derrick Acosta, and Joseph Sieracki, with art by Pablo Andres and a cover by Sebastian Piriz, the issue pairs dynamic action with character-driven moments and crisp visuals. Weaving nostalgia with new discoveries, this standalone entry offers both longtime fans and newcomers a thrilling entry into the Speed Racer world.
