Oni Press’ Biker Mice From Mars #1 is out this week. It marks the first new adventure for the motorbike-riding alien rodents in years (I was about to say decades, but there was actually a revival of the show at some point in the 2010s). If you’re willing to spoil yourself a bit, you can read ahead as Oni has provided us with a sneak preview of how Issue #2 opens. According to Oni, “Chaos ensues as Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo learn the volcanic eruption that has laid waste to the Martian town of Brimstone was no accident! And when Carbine provides them with intel from the Martian Army that may lead them to the culprits behind it all, the Biker Mice find themselves torn between aiding in rescue and recovery… or taking justice into their own hands!” Issue 2 continues the story written by Melissa Flores and drawn by Daniel Gete, with variant covers from Gete, Edu Souza (Immortal Red Sonja), Juann Cabal (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Juan Jose Ryp. As for Issue 1, it’s out now with covers from Dustin Weaver (Infinity), Karl Kerschl (Gotham Academy), Justin Mason (Spider-Punk), Juan Jose Ryp (Wolverine, Ghost Rider), Kano (Action Comics) […]

This looks promising. I always liked Biker Mice more than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because they felt more rebellious. Seeing that they have to choose between helping their people or hunting down the bad guys shows real maturity in writing. I appreciate that Melissa Flores is treating these characters with respect. Also, it’s good to see artists like Juan Jose Ryp and Juann Cabal involved. Their work adds polish and professionalism. I think this will pull in both old fans and new readers.
 
I feel like Oni Press is doing what big publishers often don’t: letting creators play with classic characters in fresh ways. Issue 1 was a solid read. It didn’t rely on just jokes or explosions. Now, with Issue 2, the tone is shifting into something more dramatic. I really liked how Carbine’s inclusion brings more depth. The Biker Mice world always had politics and war in the background, and now it feels more developed. I also want to give credit to the visual side. Each cover artist brings something unique. You can really feel the effort here, not just another cash-in.
 
I’m surprised at how serious the plot sounds. A volcanic eruption caused on purpose? That’s big. I expected something more light-hearted from Biker Mice, but I like how the stakes are real. It makes their decision tougher. Do they act as soldiers, or heroes? It’s good drama. I also like that it’s not just Earth-focused anymore. They’re really diving into Martian politics, which gives the story more space to grow. This could be a very cool arc.
 
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this, but the first issue caught me off guard. I think Oni Press knows how to handle cult IPs like this. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s a legit story. The mix of old and new creators makes it work. Melissa Flores writes character conflict well, and that’s what kept me reading. Plus, Roboforce in the backup was such a good surprise. There’s a lot of charm in this book, and I hope it continues beyond just a mini-series.
