Arcstream: False Start #1 launches an all-new high-octane saga in the Rippaverse®—where speed isn’t just power… it’s a gamble.
At North Florespark High, Zephyr Arland has always been ahead of the pack. On the track, in the classroom—everything comes easily on the surface…
Except control.
Because the faster he pushes himself, the more his body begins to break down. And the one thing he wants more than anything—use his speed to help people—might be the very thing that destroys him.
When a moment of instinct puts him on the radar of forces far beyond his league, Zephyr becomes the target of something far more dangerous than failure. Behind polished smiles and promises of answers, powerful figures are already watching… studying… waiting with the perfect bait on their hooks.
They offer what he’s been desperate for:
Control.
Relief.
And a way to finally become the hero he longs to be.
But a Devil’s bargain always comes with a cost.
From creator and writer Andrew Rodriguez, with dynamic interior art by Lee Sands and electric colors by Andrew Dalhouse, Arcstream: False Start #1 delivers a kinetic, character-driven debut packed with momentum, tension, and the dangerous allure of power.
This is where the race begins.
