Speed Racer #0 is a solid update and return of the classic series

An all-new continuation of Tatsuo Yoshida’s classic manga/anime, MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as Speed Racer!

David Pepose has the storytelling keys to the featured story in issue #0, which ignites Mad Cave’s ongoing Speed Racer series. Meanwhile, Mark Russell drives a backup tale that leads directly into a Racer X spin-off series.

One part Drive, another part Baby Driver, and another part Fast and Furious—with classic anime/manga inspiration throughout—fans new and old are given a front-row seat to exciting tales of action, adventure, overcoming challenges, and family.

DC’s debut early reader graphic novel for ages 5-7!

Together, they’ll form a club where other supers can be themselves, test their powers, grow to-gether, and maybe earn some good-guy points along the way.

Free Comic Book Day is this Saturday and Post Malone and Vault you to check out Big Rig

Post Malone and Vault have released a very special video to promote Free Comic Book Day, local comic shops, and Post’s new Vault series, Big Rig, that will debut as part of Free Comic Book Day on May 3rd, 2025.

An original story created by the 9x diamond recording artist, Big Rig is written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel, and drawn by Nathan Gooden. Big Rig is Evil Dead meets Mad Max: Fury Road in this story set in medieval Europe, where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent from the heavens.

THEY PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE. THEY GOT 25 TONS AND 18 WHEELS OF HOLY WEAPON.

BIG RIG, created by Post Malone.

The Dark Ages…Demon hordes plague Europe as Hell invades Earth. The Six Petals, a secret sect of The Knights Templar, are in desperate need of a means to drive back the scourge and turn the tide of the onslaught. What crashes to earth is The Rig, a fully loaded tractor trailer. In the aftermath of its arrival, the only man left standing is an enigmatic former priest excommunicated from The Six Petals. He will become Trucker and lead the fight against Hell behind the wheel of a demon-slaying machine.

Written by Post Malone and Adrian Wassel. Drawn by Barbaric co-creator and Dark Knights of Steel artist Nathan Gooden.

This October Gargoyles meet the Fantastic Four and it all begins Free Comic Book Day

One of the most exciting comics crossovers in years is coming this fall, and it all starts with a surprise preview this month for Free Comic Book Day! The most historic family of heroes in comics and one of the most unique families originating from animation meet each other in an unforgettable tale in Gargoyles / Fantastic Four this October.

Fans will not want to miss the release of Gargoyles: Demona #0. The Free Comic Book Day release, out May 3, the first Saturday of the month, primarily kicks off the next exciting chapter of the core Gargoyles saga. Franchise creator and longtime chronicler Greg Weisman is joined by original series co-producer Frank Paur for a centuries-spanning look at the hero-turned-villainess’ life — including never before revealed family members and pivotal moments. The full series will follow the FCBD release.

Tucked in the back of this release that is completely free to readers is a shocking sneak peek for one of the next Gargoyles tales, an unexpected crossover for the ages!

The original Dynamite era Gargoyles creative team of writer Greg Weisman, artist George Kambadais, and letterer Jeff Eckleberry reunite for this epic tale.

Key members of the Manhattan Clan, including Goliath, Elisa Maza, Brooklyn, Katana and Nashville have been invited on a tour of one of the most impressive and technologically advanced buildings in their adopted home of New York City — the Baxter Building. Everything goes awry when a fearsome cast of foes from both mythos cross paths, including Coldsteel, the Gargoyle aka Yuri Topolov, and the deadly Annihilus.

Fans will get to enjoy Franklin and Valeria bonding with Gnash, at least until everything gets out of control. Then both families — including Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, the Thing, the Human Torch, Broadway and Angela — will have to team up, split into teams, and save the day across Manhattan, the Negative Zone, and beyond.

Featuring covers by Dynamite all-star Lucio Parrillo, Fantastic Four veteran Mark Bagley, Gargoyles icon Amanda Conner, and more, further details on the full special release scheduled for this October will follow soon.
