Race Warrior, the title taken by itself, makes the book
sound like it should be about some politically correct
guy defending the world against racism. Luckily, Race
Warrior is FAR, FAR from that. Race Warrior is a
futuristic racing comic book. As the tag line reads
" Americas Racing Comic Book "
With a mischievous grin, I must ask " May I have
another hit? " . Im addicted to this comic.
I wasnt sure at first whether or not I liked it, but
after a reading the first five issues I couldnt put
the book down. Race Warrior has everything: mystery,
romance, suspense, action, science fiction, murder,
and politics.
Ill be the first to admit that I know very little
about racing. Knowledge of modern day racing is
really not a prerequisite to understanding and
enjoying this book. The book really just uses the
racing event as a backdrop and minor plot element.
All the sports cars in this comic are sponsored by
soft drinks like Sunkist and Seven Up. The characters
stroll around like walking billboards; you seldom see
a racer in normal clothes. This is no where near as
annoying as it might sound. Trust me. Its actually
a quick and easy way to ID the characters.
Additionally, this book will try to inform you
and interest you in the world of modern racing. There
are really cool sections in the back of each book that
provide interesting information about todays racers.
The story is about the rivalry between two racing
teams: the Race Warriors and Team UP. The main
characters are very much three-dimensional characters,
who are not completely evil nor completely innocent.
Everyone has his or her own issues and motivations
that cannot be solved with the snap of ones fingers.
The science of the year 2020 that is presented in
the story is not perfect miracle technology that never
fails. The technology is constantly evolving and the
scientists are trying to hammer out the mechanics of
them safely. While trying to create this technology
the scientists have to be careful to conceal the
information against both foreign powers and their
rival racers. There are several artists working on
this book and they are all wonderful. Some of the
cover art is absolutely stunning.
If you like a great, fast paced espionage story (Okay,
I had to make a bad pun. Im sorry), go to
and get your own copy today. Believe me. You
NEED this book.
