In advance of Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, CA, the Nacelle Company, Oni Press, and Rebellion have announced a historic partnership which nobody saw coming. Judge Dredd / Biker Mice From Mars #1 will launch the wreckage-strewn collision of the 22nd Century’s most feared lawman against its hardest-charging mutant outlaws in a no-holds-barred showdown for supremacy! Spanning two 40-page, deluxe format issues beginning in December 2026, Judge Dredd / Biker Mice From Mars #1 will be written by blockbuster writers Dan Watters (M.A.S.K., Batman: Dark Patterns) and Ryan O’Sullivan (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War) with art by supercharged artist Jordi Tarragona (Injustice: Gods Among Us).
Launching directly out of the pages of issue #1, the upcoming publishing collaboration will also mark the first milestone in a newly cemented merchandising partnership between Rebellion and the Nacelle Company that will see Nacelle’s Consumer Product division create a new line of highly detailed action figures and other collectibles that will feature crossovers between The Biker Mice From Mars and Rebellion’s Judge Dredd characters. The first wave of figures will be made available for pre-order this fall and be released online and in stores in 2027.
To celebrate the new partnership, Nacelle, Oni Press, and Rebellion will be giving fans a special reward directly from the streets of Mega-City One at Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego, CA, beginning on Thursday, July 23rd! 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, and receive one of 500 limited-edition JUDGE DREDD /| BIKER MICE FROM MARS art prints, featuring the upcoming cover art of Eisner Award-winning superstar David Finch (Batman, Skinbreaker)!
“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 fervour 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,” said Oni Press President & Publisher Hunter Gorinson.
“I’ve been a massive fan of Judge Dredd for at least 35 years and when Hunter suggested this collab, I warned him that he better not be punking me,” said Nacelle CEO, Brian Volk-Weiss. “Being able to play in the Mega City One sand box is beyond a dream come true!”
Across the frayed cordons of space-time, the greed-fueled oligarchs Limburger and Karbunkle have identified a strange new world to plunder, but they never anticipated that Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo – the extraterrestrial anti-heroes known as the Biker Mice From Mars – would dare to foil their latest cross-dimensional conquest: the smog-clogged metropolis known as Mega-City One.
Now, the Martian brothers and their bikes are 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!
“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,” said Ben Smith, Head of Publishing for Rebellion. “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.”
Created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, JUDGE DREDD has been bringing law and order to the crime-ridden, dystopian streets of Mega-City One since he first appeared in the pages of 2000 AD 1977. Throughout his almost 50 year history, Dredd has faced down everyone from Batman to Aliens and Predator … but he’s never met anyone quite like Throttle, Vinnie, Modo. Set to appear in a brand-new animated series from executive producers Brian Volk-Weiss, Ryan Reynolds, George Dewey, Matt Kravitsky, and Kevin Hill in 2027, the BIKER MICE FROM MARS have been a fixture for fans and collectors since their first appearance in 1993 and have since helmed multiple new comic series published by Oni Press. JUDGE DREDD / BIKER MICE FROM MARS #1 will arrive in comic shops worldwide in December 2026, featuring covers by David Finch (Batman, Karl Kerschl (The Flash), and Andrew Krahnke (G.I. Joe), and more to be revealed!
In the meantime, fans of BIKER MICE FROM MARS and The Nacelle Company have plenty to celebrate in 2026. This July, 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. Then, August will see the debut of BIKER MICE FROM MARS: SCORCH #1, an all-new series exploring the origins of the newest Martian antihero from writer Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and artist V Ken Marion (Nightwing).
