In partnership with Rebellion and the Nacelle Company, Oni Press is proud to present the wreckage-strewn collision of the 22nd-century’s most feared lawman against its hardest-charging mutant outlaws—Mega-City One’s JUDGE DREDD versus the Red Planet’s BIKER MICE FROM MARS—in a no-holds-barred showdown for supremacy! Maximum thrill power meets maximum attitude as the decade’s most unexpected crossover event starts here with 48 pages of deluxe format fury! Across the frayed cordons of space-time, the greed-fueled oligarchs Limburger and Karbunkle have identified a strange new world to plunder, but they never anticipated that Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo—the extraterrestrial antiheroes known as the BIKER MICE FROM MARS—would dare to foil their latest cross-dimensional conquest: the smog-clogged metropolis known as Mega-City One. Now, the Martian brothers and their bikes are stranded between blocks in Mega-City’s endless, chaotic sprawl . . . alongside 400 million citizens who want them dead and the one man committed to delivering them to justice at any cost: the unforgiving JUDGE DREDD! The law has no place for vermin on Mega-City One’s streets . . . but when the Biker Mice’s otherworldly abilities draw the gaze of the inhuman entity called Judge Death, man and mouse alike will be caught in the crosshairs!
