The Dispatched #1 (2026)

Cruel Universe (Vol. 2) #10 by Liam Johnson, Greg Pak, Daniel Gete, David Rubín, Felipe Cunha and more. Cover by Miguel Mercado. Variant covers by (2) Lukas Ketner and (3) Albert Monteys. Out in May.

“Biker Mice from Mars” aired on Polish television in 1995 on Polsat. It passed me by. At the time I was already in high school and probably interested in other things.

When news of the Polish comic edition appeared, I didn’t join the ranks of enthusiastic readers and former viewers who speak of “Biker Mice from Mars” as a cult TV cartoon. That’s how they remember it. I missed the Polsat broadcast, as I mentioned, as well as the later reruns (TV4, Fox Kids).

Still, after seeing the first panels and revisiting the animation today (like everything else, “Biker Mice from Mars” is now online), as a fully grown adult I noticed real potential for the comics medium. As it turns out, even the very first episode of the series — “Rock and Ride!” (which premiered on Western stations in September 1993) — is narratively something entirely different from what we encounter in the comic.

The reason is simple, though the history is a bit tangled. There was the TV show, and then Marvel published a comic adaptation. Three issues came out, all meant as a kind of response to “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” It didn’t quite work. Today the series is being revived by Oni Press.

The new comic is a completely fresh start. Melissa Flores and artist Daniel Gete have taken the essence of the ’90s — the characters and their motorcycles. It’s a reboot, and in the first episode we follow the protagonists on their home planet. Yes, on Mars!

I can sketch the plot in one sentence — that’s more than enough. Chaos is rising on Mars: the Plutarkians are accelerating the planet’s exploitation, and three young biker mice — Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie — are pulled into a spiral of events that will turn them from rebels into symbols of resistance.

Thus begins “Red Planet Panic,” as the title says. Melissa Flores handles the script, Daniel Gete provides the art, and Allesandro Santoro the colors.

It’s a neat, solid story, aimed rather at younger readers — or at least at those who want to meet the biker mice in their natural environment.

I read the “new” “Biker Mice from Mars” as a return that doesn’t try to masquerade as a nostalgic postcard. Melissa Flores and Daniel Gete treat the brand as a living organism, not a relic of the ’90s — and that’s precisely why this comic works. It offers a new origin, more attuned to contemporary readers and more sensitive to the drama of the conflict.

I like the energy of the artwork; the whole thing is well‑composed for an action comic. I do have reservations about the pacing — it falters when we move into side threads, though I understand they’re needed to tie the story into something larger. Yes, the universe feels expansive.
