Speed Racer #8
SCORE: 70
I wondered what this franchise would do after the last two part
storyline. Speed Racer #8 is an one shot I believe. I will explain later
why I think that. The Speed Racer #8 comic book cost me $4.99. There are
twenty-two pages of comic book content within Speed Racer #8. The
credits for Speed Racer #8 can be found on the back of the front cover.
There is a page devoted to the next issue within Speed Racer #8.
Speed Racer #8 includes a three page preview of Dog Tag #1. that preview
contains some blood. There are some advertisements near the very back of
the Speed Racer #8 comic book. The issues families can have with Speed
Racer #8 are violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, theft and
more. I make a solemn vow that the rest of this review will include
spoilers for what happens within Speed Racer #8.
Speed, his little brother and dad are at some fancy event. Trixie and
Speed kissed recently. I am not sure when that was. Maybe in that one
issue I missed. Man there were a lot of things that happened in that
issue. I am trying to buy a copy of it to read and review. This doctor
shows some new fuel supplement that is green and really powerful. There
is a rumble noise and Speed reacts to save his family.
Mister Block also known as Cruncher breaks into the building with a very
large vehicle. This gangster steals the new formula, and kidnaps Trixie.
Speed Racer will not have that so he goes after him. Racer X also comes
along to help in Speed Racer #8. They go after this giant vehicle and
slow it down a bit. Want to know something scary? This giant vehicle has
missiles. Thankfully the two racers avoid the missiles.
The two racers also bring some missiles back to the vehicle. Trixie must
jump out of the moving vehicle into Speed Racers arms. The bad guy goes
after the formula right before it explodes in his face - literally.
Trixie and Speed are kissing at the end of Speed Racer #8. Since the bad
guy is dead, the relationship between Speed and Trixie are the only
things I can see moving forward. Well maybe that green formula is
another one.
