An effective and playful genre piece, combining racing and sci-fi and gladiator movies and noir. It's all forward momentum, something that the art communicates with great dexterity. The action is never boring, that's for sure. A bit of a slight diversion, but perfect for when that is what you are looking for.

A standard pulp situation and characters, but told with pace and abandon through Cypress's lush, layered, and kinetically communicative artwork.

A showcase for Cypress' art, which is stylistically perfect for this passion project: full of life and motion.

A fun fast read set in a 30's pulp world where death racing is big entertainment. Filled with your usual cliched characters, this doesn't stop this graphic novel from working as smoothly as Rodd Racer's suped-up engine. Especially enjoyed Toby Cypress' artwork!

The art is outstanding. A mixture of Tony Salmons and Hugo Pratt. Very enjoyable book.
