Racer X #3

The finale of this three-part WildStorm series brings "Chapter 3: The Mark of Death" to a fiery close, and Tommy Yune's cover sets the tension perfectly. Racer X looms large in the background, arms raised against a blazing orange inferno with debris flying all around him, while in the foreground two figures — one wearing the signature X-marked racing suit and goggles, the other a mysterious young woman with striking blue eyes and elaborate goggles of her own — command equal attention. It's a vivid, action-charged composition that makes a strong case for this 2000 mini-series as one of the more stylish takes on the Speed Racer universe.
