New Biker Mice from Mars Series Will Explore Their Origin (While Keeping the TV Show’s Tone)
Biker Mice from Mars is a hardcore ’90s series that’s filled with exciting action and a cohesive plot, and now, it’s getting an official origin story.
For evidence of the long-term potential that lies ahead forBiker Mice, look no further than writer Melissa Flores, who is responsible for some of thegreatest moments in the history of thePower Rangersfranchise– which show-only fans never saw, because they occurred in Boom! Studios' long-running comic series. Boom! afforded Flores the opportunity to tell ambitious, expansive stories with herwork on the ongoingRangersseries, and comic fans can only hope that she will be able to do the same withBiker Mice From Mars.

Melissa Flores notablyhelped to elevate thePower Rangersfranchise on the page, and it seems that Oni Press is prepared to do the same forBiker Mice, without there being a total tonal disconnect between the ongoing comic and the animated source material. As Oni Editor Karl Bollers explained:
We’re playing it a hundred percent straight, no winking at the audience–definitely not your typical ‘funny animal comic. And while there are enough ‘cowabunga’ and ‘boo ya’ style catch phrases to fill the fuel tanks of fans new and old, overall we’re taking a hard-hitting approach to the stories this time that definitely won’t pull any punches and will hopefully appeal to readers of all ages. Two-wheel drive–four quadrant appeal. That’s the Biker Mice formula.
In other words, fans of the franchise can expect the story to feel familiar, just as it takes theBiker Micefranchise in entirely new, and likely unexpected, directions. Further, there ismore Nacelleverse content coming from Oni.
Last year kicked off the Nacelleverse, and now Oni Press is prepared to take it to fantastic new heights. With the franchise’s first-ever ongoing comic,Biker Mice From Marswill be an essential part of that.
As part of the exclusive reveal ofBiker Mice From Mars#1, Screen Rant can also confirm moreRoboForcecomics coming this year. Oni’s press release stated:
Plus: Leaping into the fray is the return of RoboForce with a brand-new bonus feature from writer Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and artist EJ Su (Transformers) that will rock the foundations and set the stage for the future of the Nacelleverse! Tying directly into the must-see ROBOFORCE: THE ANIMATED SERIES from executive producers Dwayne Johnson, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Dany Garcia and debuting on Tubi this April from The Nacelle Company and Seven Bucks Productions, this is a bounty of two-fisted, Nacelleverse action that no comic fan worth their weight in cheddar can afford to miss!
