My worry is that, because the comic is coming out from IDW, the comic will be over priced. Sign on an “audio amplifier” (hearing aid) store window:

It's been collected... and if you can find the issues, the follow-up series of Racer X written by Yune with art by Jo Chen is just as good.

Or Hear Hear. Whatever. I was always under the impression that the Speed Racer "legend" began with Pops, continued somewhat with Rex (who later became "Racer X") and then Speed. I could see having some fun with this. A story where we meet POPS' dad and grand-dad ... maybe they were stock-car racing in the back roads of Tennessee in the 1930s or something. I wouldn't mind seeing a little more "family history" ... but the LEGEND?? Like Matt said, The Phantom has a lock on that. Here, here. Or Hear Hear. Whatever.

Have these guys even seen Speed Racer? -Steve! So wait…they’re doing a Speed Racer mini-series, without car racing?

Speed Racers throughout history? Really? Is "Speed Racer Of The Sea" going to be paddling really very hard indeed? I mean, what is so wrong about being the ONLY version of a character? Why is unique so bad? I mean, this kind of...aristocratic approach was fine for the bloody Phantom, but everyone and their bloody superpet is part of a dynasty, now. It's just depressing. That said, I wonder who owns the rights to MEDIEVAL LIBERACE? //\Oo/\\ Why is this the default approach to…everything, these days?
