Team America Racing: Full Throttle One-Shot
A high-octane revival of a cult-favorite toy line, Team America Racing delivers pure adrenaline with a modern edge. When rising motocross star Nicki “Ghost” Randall hits the circuit alongside teammates Buzz and Ram, the thrill of competition quickly turns dangerous. A mysterious saboteur targets racers, while a shadowy figure known as the Highwayman lurks just beyond the finish line, unraveling a conspiracy that threatens the entire sport. Blending breakneck racing action with character-driven drama, this debut captures the spirit of classic ’80s licensed toy comics while delivering sleek, contemporary storytelling. Every jump, crash, and close call builds toward a larger mystery, making this more than just a racing comic; it’s a story about legacy, teamwork, and pushing past your limits. For fans of G.I. Joe, Transformers, and high-speed action, this “Stranger Things meets X Games” one-shot is a fresh start to a franchise built for collectors and readers alike. This issue collects the complete story originally serialized in Comic Shop News issues #2000–2005, along with interviews and special bonus material.
