The artwork was good, but having never read Speed Racer as a child, I have to say that the story came off as hokey and silly.

[Al Berry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Art is great, story is over the top high octane whimsy. Probably really going to be hit or miss for the reader, I enjoyed it.

This was pretty cool. Bring me back to the 1965 show that I watched as a kid

Very silly, but very fun.

Good fun stuff. Reminds me a great deal of a lot of the anime I watched in the mid-90s.

Enjoyable art, enjoyable story, it's been a long time since I've seen any Speed Racer cartoons, but it made me a bit nostalgic.
