Oni Press, Rebellion, and the Nacelle Company have announced they are teaming up on a Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars comic and toy line. The series, which will consist of two 40-page issues, will be written by Dan Watters (M.A.S.K.) and Ryan O’Sullivan (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War), with art by Jordi Tarragona (Injustice: Gods Among Us), and see BMFM villains Limburger and Karbunkle stage a cross-dimensional invasion of Mega-City One. However, when Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo try to stop them, they wind up only clashing with Judge Dredd himself.

The official synopsis adds, “The Martian brothers and their bikes [become] stranded between blocks in Mega-City’s endless, chaotic sprawl… alongside 400 million citizens who want them dead and the one man committed to delivering them to justice at any cost: the unforgiving Judge Dredd! The law has no place for vermin on Mega-City One’s streets… but when the Biker Mice’s otherworldly abilities draw the gaze of the inhuman entity called Judge Death, man and mouse alike will be caught in the crosshairs in the first-ever Biker Mice From Mars crossover outside of the NacelleVerse!”
Hunter Gorinson, President and Publisher of Oni, says, “It’s truly a thrill to be walking the streets of Mega-City One with our amazing partners at Rebellion and the Nacelle Company. The amount of love and fervor for Judge Dredd and the iconic legacy of 2000 AD that flows through both Oni and Nacelle is palpable, and, thanks to the huge talents of Dan Watters, Ryan O’Sullivan, and Jordi Tarragona, we’re excited to give fans the 22nd century’s first truly great comic event.” Brian Volk-Weiss, CEO of Nacelle, adds, “When Hunter suggested this collab, I warned him that he better not be punking me. Being able to play in the Mega-City One sand box is beyond a dream come true!”
Ben Smith, Rebellion’s Head of Publishing, also says, “Mutants and mayhem are two of the founding pillars of Judge Dredd’s world, so when Oni and Nacelle approached us about a crossover with the Biker Mice From Mars, we knew this would be exactly our kind of Thrillpower. The Biker Mice From Mars are the perfect fit for Dredd’s radical, radioactive vision of the future, and this is going to be a revved-up, all-action spectacular for fans. To take this crossover off the page into a new toy range is next level exciting – Rebellion and 2000 AD are delighted to bring this new partnership with our new partners Oni Press and Nacelle into fifth gear.”
Issue #1 will be released in December, with cover art by David Finch, Karl Kerschl, Andrew Krahnke, and more. Nacelle’s toy line will go on pre-order this fall for a release in 2027. In the meantime, fans who attend this month’s San Diego Comic-Con will be able to obtain one of 500 limited edition prints of Finch’s artwork: as the press release explains, “Simply visit the Rebellion booth (#2121) to retrieve your free Mega-City One parking ticket with an official Department of Justice stamp – then get it stamped again in sequence at the Nacelle Company booth (#2547) and Oni Press booth (#1829) to avoid the death penalty.”
