With Mars needing defenders, the Biker Mice – Throttle, Vinnie and Modo – sign up for the military to do their part in protecting their world from the Plutarkians. However, raiders are encroaching upon mouse settlements, and our heroes find it difficult to stick to their current plan without lending their friends and family a hand.

I don’t have any particular nostalgia for early 90s kids cartoon, Biker Mice From Mars, having aged out of its target audience by the time it debuted. So I wasn’t sure what to expect from this reboot, nor was I convinced I’d even enjoy it.

However, writer Melissa Flores has created a pretty interesting story here, and it’s done with a great deal of character; though the overall concept may be pretty silly, it takes itself quite seriously, but the straight approach kind of works, remarkably (though some of the character names are still pretty stupid).

Francis Portela’s art is superb, and that really helps too; each character is instantly distinct and recognisable, and there’s a real dynamic touch to the action scenes too.

Though I wasn’t convinced that I’d like this series, consider me pleasantly surprised by Biker Mice From Mars.
