Racer X #2
SCORE: 68
There are certainly some ups and some downs with Racer X #2. This
comic book cost me $4.99. There are twenty pages of comic book content
within Racer X #2 There are is also a six page preview in Racer X #2 for
Circus Maximus #1. There is a page devoted to the next issue within
Racer X #2. The credits for Racer X #2 are found on the back of the
front cover. Racer X #2 continues to be supplemental to the Speed Racer
comic book series.
Spoilers will be a part of this review going forward. The issues
families can have with Racer X #2 are violence, and more. The six page
preview has violence, blood, lack of attire and more within it. Since
that was included in Racer X #2 it brings the score down a little bit.
There are plenty of flash backs within Racer X #2. In fact I felt like
Racer X #2 was all over the board in terms of what time period was
covered.
We start out in Racer X #2 finding out about the mob and how they bet on
races. Racer X uses that to his advantage. Racer X #2 lets us know in
the end that Racer X bet on Speed Racer winning. Racer X did all he
could in the race to ensure that outcome as well. The mob thinks they
found Racer X's car so they absolutely trash it. There is one small
wrinkle. The car the mob wrecks is actually the car of the guy they bet
on to win.
How could they trash the wrong car in Racer X #2? Racer X painted the
other guys car to look like his. The mob was completely fooled. They
were not happy about it, but they did not know Racer X is the one that
messed them over. Racer X #2 goes over when Speed Racer wins that first
race. We are given before, during, and after that event in Racer X #2.
Speed Racer has all of these plans concerning the money he wins in the
race. After taxes and fees he has a whole lot less money.
The last few pages of Racer X #2 goes over the next Speed Racer issue
where the two of them race. Racer X #2 also explains how and where Racer
X got all of that money. Racer X thought about the two of them teaming
up. The advice Racer X gives in this comic book is to bet on what you
love. I know plenty of people that love certain sports teams that lose
again and again. I personally prefer to avoid betting.
