Mad Cave Studios, the same studio behind Nottingham, Becstar, and Bountiful Garden, is releasing a new adventure, and this racing series will require readers to buckle up tight!
Speed Republic takes readers to a futuristic Europe that is united under one man, The Autocrat. Under his rule, citizens must compete for a life free from poverty by participating in a deadly race across Europe. Speed Republic follows Sebastian Vlaencia in his attempt to cross the finish line in one piece and claim the life that he desires.
Mad Cave Studios was kind enough to share the alternate covers for the first issue with us, as well as several of the interior pages. They have even put together a pretty cool trailer to promote the upcoming series, which you can find below.
Speed Republic #1 is available for pre-order via the Mad Cave site (click here) and will land in stores February 2nd!
Synopsis: In the future, Europe has united under one man, The Autocrat. He rules the apocalyptic landscape from corporate monopolies with a vision of unity that is gospel to some, but hollow to others. To distract the 99% from their poor and empty lives, they are given the opportunity to compete in the Grand Race. A marathon street race through Europe where only one driver can make it to the end and win a life of luxury. Our hero, Sebastian Valencia enters with the hope that winning this race can make up for his wasted past, but along the way he starts to question what kind of future he is actually buying into.
