For the final round of this year's Formula DRIFT season we wanted to do something out of the ordinary.
Throughout the year our Team Need for Speed drivers have been doing a driver blog after each round, however for Irwindale, we decided on something completely different. A comic book.
There are some amazingly talented artists who work on Need for Speed, such as Josh Awesome who penned this comic on Matt Powers. Although Josh has been working around the clock on our new NFS The Run game, he managed to get this comic done in his own time.
We have two artists – one for each driver – so you can expect a unique style for both Matt Powers and Fredric Aasbo. Josh decided to go with a French cartoon style, which I think suits Matt to a tee! Stay tuned for Fredric's comic, which will be coming your way tomorrow.

That is totally awesome, can't wait for the next part! It's a really good idea, very special indeed.
This is awesome!
I look forward for future comics
Absolutly AWESOME can't wait to read it 'till the end
You're my man Matt! Keep it s(l)ideways! <3
I love it
Wait...is he really called Josh Awesome?
Wow that was amazing... this should be a regular feature on here. It would also be cool to do something like the Ah-ha - take on me music video (maybe a year end video to recap). It suits Matt's 80's style, you could start with Miki <3 reading the comic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPIVNrI7Kp0
Needs more pow.
GREAT! Love Power's ride. V8 power!
I LOVE IT!
LOL @ "I'd love you more if you didnt drive a V8"

Mr. Awesome for sure
LOL haha wanna see what's next xD
Awesome!
pretty legit cartoon work nice job

The artist should illustrate a comic book prologue of NFS The Run!
Amazing work! This is a great addition to the other stories on Speedhunters! I hope these would be a permanent fixture here. What a great idea. And +1 for the humour!
SICK! Very nice work from Josh and very cool concept and idea! Great job to Josh and Need For Speed.
"I'd love you more if you didn't drive a V8"
I'm glad you guys said it.
Awesome I want more 'cause it's AWESOME!
This is great, Josh Awesome should definaltley get a pay check for this if he didn't!!!

"I'd love you more if you didn't drive a V8." For the win. Lol.
I DEMAND MOAR!!!!!!
Before we resume our regular programming, we have the final installment of our Team Need for Speed comic
Nice, I Love it. <333333
This is actually such a great idea! The drawings have a nice flair to them too.
I think this concept is exceptionally cool! Its so funny when the guy is like, "dude I love you, but I'd love you more if you didn't have a v8". Matt powers is like.. F**k you!
Awesome!!! STYLE!! deal with it...
great artwork by Josh Awesome!!!
thanks for all the MTP coverage this year! you're the best
jajaj i like
Crazy man...keep it up...xP
just like I say from the other comic. cool but cartoonish its ok for me 'coz imma true need for speed fan...YEAH!!!
I like this. Cool idea. I just wish that the EA/NFS team would take the time to do a Wangan Midnight/Initial D type of thing for the states. They got enough of a foot in the drift game. They have one of the most all out fun platforms out there and have SHUT DA GAME DOWN with customability. We get some stanced S14's sliding around Mt Tugatigi (or something they'd make up) and get some 300zx's going full blast down the Shingu pass (or whatever they'd make up) and it'd be so solid. At the very least, more comic books. This was just fun.
