As if you needed more proof the '90s are back in vogue, the Biker Mice From Mars are making their comeback in 2024. Not only that, they're returning as part of an entire shared universe of classic animated series. Dubbed the NacelleVerse, this new line includes properties like RoboForce, Sectaurs, The Great Garloo and Power Lords.
The NacelleVerse saga is being told in both comic book and animated series format, beginning with the release of a one-shot comic called NacelleVerse #0. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look inside this issue:
The creative team on NacelleVerse #0 includes writer Melissa Flores (Power Rangers) and artists Rahmat Handoko (Ultimate Spider-Man), Rhoald Marcellius (Hulk), Diogenes Neves (Realm of X), and Francis Portela (Green Lantern), with covers by Marco D’Alfonso, Logan Lubera, InHyuk Lee, Livio Ramondelli, and Mike Deodato Jr. Here's Oni Press' official description for the book:
When his planet is annihilated by a cosmic disaster, The Great Garloo must begin a galaxy-spanning search for a place to call home . . . only to discover a bold new universe of champions waiting amongst the stars! From the genetically modified Sectaurian warriors of Symbion to the rabble-rousing Biker Mice from Mars, Garloo's quest for safe haven will hurdle him on a one-way collision course toward 22nd century Earth, where the obsolete robotic wrecking crew called RoboForce is about to forge a new destiny . . .
The NacelleVerse comic line is a collaboration between The Nacelle Company and Oni Press. NacelleVerse #0 will pave the way for four limited series debuting over the next year. Roboforce #1 will debut in April, followed by Biker Mice From Mars #1 in July, Sectaurs #1 in October and Power Lords #1 in January 2025.
On the animated series front, The Nacelle Company is developing a RoboForce series, executive produced by Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Brian Gewirtz, Hiram Garcia and Seven Bucks Productions, and a Biker Mice From Mars series, executive produced by Ryan Reynolds and Maximum Effort. And, of course, there are new toys up for grabs, including a very cool wave of updated Biker Mice From Mars figures.
You can check out the NacelleVerse trailer for a closer look at both the comics and animated series. NacelleVerse #0 will be released March 20.
In case you missed it, we just got our first look at Ryan Reynolds in the MCU with the first Deadpool & Wolverine trailer. Though you probably didn't miss it, because the trailer is already smashing viership records.
