COMICS NEWS: BIKER MICE FROM MARS Are BACK! First Ongoing Series Drops This JUNE!

Ep. 54

Strap in, grease up those wheels, and crank the volume, because Oni Press and The Nacelle Company are firing up the engines and unleashing a full-throttle return of the raddest rodents this side of the galaxy. Hot off the asphalt of last year’s hit limited series, the BIKER MICE FROM MARS are back—and this time, they’re riding into their first-ever ongoing series! Dropping June 25th, 2025, this beast is powered by the freewheeling chaos of writer Melissa Flores (Power Rangers Prime) and the raw, nitro-infused visuals of artist Daniel Gete (Skin Police).


Mars is burning, the Plutarkians are back at their dirty tricks, and it’s up to Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo to rev up and roll out with the Mars Freedom Fighters to keep their homeworld from becoming a cosmic landfill. But when a brand-new, never-saw-it-coming threat rises from the cosmic junkyard to endanger everything—friends, family, the very surface of the Red Planet itself—the Biker Mice might just be staring down the barrel of a full-blown planetary apocalypse. Buckle up. This isn’t your Saturday morning nostalgia trip. This is the next savage gearshift into the NacelleVerse.


But wait—RoboForce crashes the party! That’s right, those mechanized misfits are back, tearing through the pages in a bonus feature from writer Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and artist EJ Su (Transformers). It’s the perfect pit stop that ties directly into ROBOFORCE: THE ANIMATED SERIES, now streaming on Tubi, with executive producers Dwayne Johnson, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Dany Garcia fueling the fire. This is the kind of double-barrel sci-fi action that demands your attention.


Speaking of the NacelleVerse, these mad scientists of animation aren’t just playing in the sandbox—they’re building an empire. With RoboForce co-produced by Seven Bucks Productions (yep, that’s Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Brian Gewirtz) and Biker Mice from Mars rolling deep with executive producers like Ryan Reynolds, George Dewey, Matt Kravitsky, and Kevin Hill, this interconnected universe of animated mayhem is just getting warmed up.


And just when you thought the throttle couldn’t go any higher—get a load of these covers! Dustin Weaver (Avengers), Karl Kerschl (Isola), Justin Mason (Spider-Punk), Juan Jose Ryp (Wolverine), Kano (Epitaphs from the Abyss), and the legend himself Simon Bisley (Judge Dredd) are throwing down some of the hottest variant art you’ll see this side of the asteroid belt.


The Biker Mice from Mars are ready to explode into their biggest, baddest, most wrench-swinging, 40-PAGE debut ever. This is the no-holds-barred, engine-screaming saga you've been waiting for.

  • 59. MUSIC NEWS: RIVERS OF NIHIL Continues Their Evolution With "Tears For Fears" Vibe

    07:20||Ep. 59
    RIVERS OF NIHIL are back and ready to shatter expectations with their latest single, “Water & Time,” a synth-soaked, progressive death metal anthem that offers a glimpse into their upcoming self-titled fifth album, dropping May 30th via Metal Blade Records.What started as an experimental synth track—nicknamed “TFF” for its Tears for Fears vibe—evolved into a full-blown metal banger, with towering choruses and crushing riffs layered over its shimmering electronic roots. Guitarist Brody Uttley crafted the bones of the album to hit hard live, before adding in the studio polish, ensuring the record feels as potent in a dive bar as it does in an arena. But this isn’t just business as usual—the new album pushes the envelope with added textures like saxophone, banjo, and cello, expanding their sound while staying true to their genre-defying spirit.=========================Engage with My Kind of Weird using one of the links below.My Kind of Weird on BlueskyMy Kind of Weird on DiscordMy Kind of Weird on FacebookMy Kind of Weird on InstagramMy Kind of Weird on TwitterMy Kind of Weird on our Website

  • 57. COMICS NEWS: Oni Press Unleashes SUMMER OF FEAR with EC Comics

    14:50||Ep. 57
    Oni Press and EC Comics are unleashing another wave of mayhem with the continuation of their partnership for the Summer of Fear—a seasonal lineup of horror comics drenched in EC-style terror and pulpy wickedness. Following the success of titles like Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe, this summer’s lineup kicks off with Blood Type #1 in June, a standalone spinoff starring the vampiric Ada, written by Corinna Bechko with art by Andrea Sorrentino. July brings Catacomb of Torment #1, a new anthology hosted by The Tormentor and featuring stories by horror veterans like John Arcudi and Marguerite Bennett. August wraps the season in cosmic dread with Cruel Universe 2 #1, a 12-issue return to intergalactic nightmare territory led by creators such as Ann Nocenti and Greg Smallwood.The madness begins early with Free Comic Book Day’s Blood Type #0 special, a grisly sampler that sets the stage for the summer’s bloody buffet. The preview features throwbacks from Cruel Universe and Cruel Kingdom, plus an early bite of Ada’s story, marking EC’s first solo character spinoff in this revival line. Set on a resort island crawling with wealthy prey, Blood Type promises a stylish, high-stakes showdown between undead hunger and corporate corruption. With lush art from Sorrentino and a darkly comic tone, the book anchors what Oni calls its boldest horror lineup yet.As Catacomb of Torment and Cruel Universe 2 roll out, EC’s signature brand of grisly morality tales gets a blood-slick upgrade, complete with resurrected classics and new material by genre heavyweights. Whether it’s anatomical nightmares narrated by a sadistic host or sci-fi doom spirals tearing through space-time, the Summer of Fear aims to push the boundaries of horror comics. With its mix of retro homage and modern storytelling muscle, EC’s return under Oni Press is shaping up to be an unrelenting, flesh-ripping celebration of the grotesque.=========================Engage with My Kind of Weird using one of the links below.My Kind of Weird on BlueskyMy Kind of Weird on DiscordMy Kind of Weird on FacebookMy Kind of Weird on InstagramMy Kind of Weird on TwitterMy Kind of Weird on our Website
