Steel Yourself for ROBOFORCE #1 – The Next Epic Chapter of The NacelleVerse Begins in April!

Oni Press, in partnership with the global entertainment powerhouse The Nacelle Company, is proud to reveal your first look at ROBOFORCE #1 – the must-read FIRST ISSUE putting the 22nd Century’s most advanced robot strike force into their milestone comic book debut!

Launching directly out of the pages of the double-sized NACELLEVERSE #0 one-shot –hitting March 20th with the first comic book appearance of RoboForce, alongside the Biker Mice from Mars, Sectaurs, Power Lords, and more – enter brave new world of incendiary action and robot-on-robot firepower as blockbuster creators Melissa Flores (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and Diogenes Neves (Realm of X, Suicide Squad) launch the NacelleVerse’s action figure icons into their first solo adventure in ROBOFORCE #1 on April 17th, 2024!

ROBOFORCE #1 begins in 2091, a little over a year after the RoboForce were rendered obsolete, replaced by the superior Utopia Aegis 101 bots. The NacelleVerse comic series leads fans directly into the upcoming Nacelle Company animated series co-produced by Brian Volk-Weiss and Seven Bucks Productions’ Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, and Brian Gewirtz.

Meet Maxx 89, the latest and greatest innovation in the field of robotics! As a member of RoboForce–the crew of highly advanced androids redefining technological advancement on 22nd-century Earth–there’s no job too big for him to handle. But when a rival company steals their creator’s newest invention in a brazen act of corporate warfare, Maxx and the high-powered Detonator are determined to get it back . . . even if it means breaking company protocol!

“We’re going on a heist! Working with Nacelle and Oni Press to create an original prequel to the Robo Force animated series in comic form has been an incredible adventure,” said writer Melissa Flores. “This miniseries will dive deeper into Maxx 89 and Detonator’s complicated relationship, showing us their true motivations and state of mind as they figure out their place in futuristic Chicago. It will be an action-packed three issues that will complement the upcoming animated series perfectly. You won’t want to miss it!”

Leading directly into the upcoming RoboForce animated series co-produced by Brian Volk-Weiss, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Seven Bucks Entertainment, ROBOFORCE #1 is leading off the first year of Oni Press’ new publishing line that will chronicle the rise of the NacelleVerse’s biggest icons:
