Choose from one of these two covers!
The first issue lands on Feb 02, and this is later in March.
The comic is set in the future where Europoe has formed one nation state, united under the face of The Autocrat – a singular ruler who’s in it for himself, and the few he allows in his periphery. The rest of the nation is slipping into despair and ruin, slowly, painfully, with resources and opportunities few and far between. But once a year the Autocrat runs The Great Race, a kind of gumball rally style epic drive where one winner gets admission to the haven of the 1%.
Sebastian Valencia has entered the race because he’s got little other options left to him. His father is dying, his life very bland, and this is at least a glimmer of hope. Even if the survival rate for drivers is low due to the other racers, and maurauding street gangs, and just the landscape in general, this race is at least a chance for money and safety and life beyond the reach of your arm.
And so we set off on this race, and madness ensues. It’s as much The Running Man as it is Mad Max as it is Speed Racer as it is The Cannonball Run.
Here are some early reviews to help push you across the line to preorder our wild beauty:
4.4/5 on Monkey’s Fighting Robots
Lovely words on The Convention Collective
And more lovely words on Geek Vibes Nation
Good luck choosing which cover you want for issue #2 – they’re both pretty amazing! And I look forward to sharing the first issue in a couple weeks!
