Biker Mice From Mars and Judge Dredd Officially Rev Their Engines in a Sneak Peek of Their First Crossover [Exclusive]
Posted on by
Some of the baddest bikers in comicdom are on a collision course for the very first time. The Biker Mice From Mars are teaming up with dystopian lawman Judge Dredd in the new comic book miniseries Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars, from Oni Press, Nacelle, and Rebellion. The book hits store shelves in December, but Collider is proud to exclusively present a five-page preview of the first issue.
Judge Dredd was created in the British science fiction comic book anthology series 2000 AD by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra in 1977. Joe Dredd is a resident of Mega-City One, a future New York City where crime is so rampant that the city’s law enforcement agents, the Judges, also serve as jury and executioner. The Biker Mice From Mars were created in the spirit of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, starring in their own cartoon and comic book series in 1993. They’re a cadre of rodent-like aliens who are fighting to save Earth from the Plutarkians, a fish-like race of colonizers who devastated their Martian homeworld. They’ve recently been revived in a new comics series from Oni Press and Nacelle.
The comic kicks off when the Plutarkians find another planet in space-time that’s ripe for conquest. The bad news for them, and everyone else, is that it’s the dystopian future Earth that houses the grim mega-megalopolis of Mega-City One. The Biker Mice soon find themselves there too, and learn that it’s particularly hostile to aliens and outlaw bikers. Meanwhile, Dredd is handling one of his frequent foes, the cyborg berserker Mean Machine Angel, with psionic partner Judge Anderson, when he gets the call about the disruption. He’s about to butt heads with the Mice, and unfortunately for them, he never takes his helmet off, no matter what Sylvester Stallone says. Want to learn more? The comic hits store shelves on December 2, and you can guarantee yourself a copy if you reserve one at your local comic shop before the final order cutoff on Monday, October 26.

Your Hero Has Been Identified Your Sci-Fi Hero Is…
Your answers point to the iconic sci-fi hero who shares your instincts, your values, and your particular way of facing the impossible.
Arrakis · Dune
Paul Atreides
You carry a weight most people would crumble under — the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero — he is someone who understands the cost of power and chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
USS Enterprise · Star Trek
Captain Kirk
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario — because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical — it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
The Rebellion · Star Wars
Princess Leia
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith — not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakeable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story — she is the moral centre of the entire rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
The Nostromo · Alien
Ellen Ripley
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero — you just refuse to stop when it matters.
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech — she has a flamethrower and a plan.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
The Wasteland · Mad Max
Max Rockatansky
You have been through fire that would break most people — and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.
You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute — but it’s earned in silence and tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.
