Oni Press and its partners at the Nacelle Company have announced a huge new twist for the Biker Mice From Mars series, the introduction of their first brand-new character. Scorch will enter the fray when the first issue of Biker Mice From Mars: Scorch arrives in comic book stores on August 12, 2026.
The must-read first chapter of this major comics milestone will mark the debut of the first brand-new character to enter the Biker Mice From Mars pantheon ahead of her debut in the animated series and toy line. The four-issue series is masterminded by red-hot writer Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and turbo-charged artist V Ken Marion (Nightwing).
Enter: Scorch — a mysterious new Martian rider with a past as dangerous as it is explosive. Is she friend or foe? What sinister secret connects her to Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo . . . to the villainous Plutarkians masterminding Mars’ overthrow . . . and to the fate of the Red Planet itself? The truth will be revealed HERE as the hard-charging antihero of 2026 launches into a MUST-READ solo series spanning her never-before revealed origin . . . and a future defined by new allies, hidden histories, and a single spark with the potential to ignite an entire galaxy!
“We’ve had plans for the next chapter of the Biker Mice story for a long time, but Scorch had plans of her own!” said writer Matt Hotson. “Whenever we thought the story was going one way, Scorch veered us in another direction, and when your main character wields a flamethrower-hammer you learn to get out of her way. From the very first days of the Biker Mice on the open roads of Mars, to the wet and wild wastelands of Planet Plutark, Scorch’s story will shake up the world of the Biker Mice From Mars like never before!”
Duck and cover because Mars’ newest anthropomorphic anti-hero rides hard and hits even harder when juggernaut creators Matt Hotson and V Ken Marion unleash BIKER MICE FROM MARS: SCORCH #1 (of 4) on August 12th – featuring fierce and fiery covers by Tango (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind), Eleonora Carlini (Marauders), AJ Jothikumar (The Great Garloo), and Simon Bisley (Lobo)!
Fans of Biker Mice From Mars and The Nacelle Company have plenty to celebrate in 2026, as Oni and The Nacelle Company are also launching a Kickstarter campaign for THE ART OF THE TOYS THAT MADE US, two deluxe art books collecting the instantly recognizable designs, artwork, advertising, concept art, and more from the brands behind the smash-hit streaming series created by Nacelle founder and CEO Brian Volk-Weiss.
