She’s a ride-or-die rebel with nothing left to lose—except her soul! The explosive origin of the Martian mouse who would become Scorch blazes forward in a pulse-pounding new chapter from writer extraordinaire Matt Hotson (Power Rangers: The Return) and red-hot artist V Ken Marion (Nightwing).Feeling betrayed and abandoned by her former crew—Modo, Throttle, and Vinnie, long before they would become the legendary Biker Mice from Mars—the mouse called Scratch tore across the Martian wasteland with her sister Rally, only to fall into the clutches of the ruthless Sand Raiders. Now a prisoner in a lawless desert, Scratch faces a choice that will define her forever: stay true to who she was . . . or embrace the darkness calling her name. To survive—and to strike back—she’ll have to shed her past and forge a new identity: Scorch! But revenge comes at a cost. With her sights set on both her mother—the iron-fisted Governor Slicks—and the friends who left her behind, Scratch is ready to burn it all down. The only question is: When the dust settles, will anything be left of the mouse she once was?
Matt Hotson always wanted to write comics but took a little detour along the way to work as an assistant director on TV shows and movies like DC’s Titans, Murderbot, and Tammy’s Always Dying. His first comic book project, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return, was published in 2024 from BOOM! Studios. He lives in Toronto, Canada, with zero dogs, zero cats, and that one pesky spider up on the living room ceiling.
