Judge Dredd + the Biker Mice From Mars collide in new crossover from Oni Press + Rebellion

The two-issue series by Dan Watters, Ryan O’Sullivan and Jordi Tarragona launches in December as part of a broader publishing and merchandise partnership.

Judge Dredd is about to meet his match in the form of the Biker Mice From Mars. Oni Press and Rebellion will bring together the two unlikely science fiction franchises for a two-issue series launching this December.

Announced in the lead-up to the San Diego Comic Con, Oni Press, Rebellion and Biker Mice From Mars owners The Nacelle Company have revealed Judge Dredd / Biker Mice From Mars #1, written by Dan Watters and Ryan O’Sullivan with artwork by Jordi Tarragona. The crossover also marks the beginning of a new partnership between Rebellion and Nacelle that will include action figures and other collectibles.

“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.”

The long-running British anthology, home to Judge Dredd and a galaxy of original series, will be printed and distributed within the U.S. for the first time in its 49-year history.

British comics publisher Rebellion announced at ComicsPro today that 2000 AD will return to American comic shops on a weekly basis beginning in May, in partnership with Lunar Distribution. It marks the first time in the anthology’s 49-year history that individual issues will be printed and distributed within the United States.

Under the new arrangement, American readers will receive issues of 2000 AD just two weeks after the UK on-sale date — an upgrade from the months we previously had to wait for copies. Issues will also no longer be poly-bagged. Retailers can begin ordering through Lunar’s March edition of its “Next Phase” catalog.

Comedian Rufus Hound teams with artist Dan Cornwell for a new Strontium Dog story

The tale will appear in 2000 AD’s end-of-year issue.

British actor/comedian Rufus Hound has written a story that will appear in 2000 AD Prog 2362, the annual end-of-year blowout issue that features a giant killer Santa on its cover.

Hound, who has appeared in Doctor Who and voiced Waffles on Waffle the Wonder Dog, worked with artist Dan Cornwell on a new Strontium Dog story.

“I’d never believed that I’d get a chance like this,” Hound said. “That ACTUAL 2000 AD would ask me – ME! – to write so much as a single syllable for their illustrious pages. Not only that, but to be given the opportunity to reimagine something from the golden era of Strontium Dog? Proper dream come true stuff.”
