RIDE OR DIE

Ride or Die is my current comic project. After discovering a muscle car once owned by his mother, Lucky fixes it with the help of his hot-headed, former-crush named Vick and is launched into the world of street racing in an effort to learn more about her. But what they don't know is there's something demonic lurking under the hood of the mysterious car, something fueled by revenge...and gasoline.
