Courtesy of Oni Press, AIPT can share a preview of Nacelleverse: The Great Garloo #0, out April 30th. Leon Reiser and A.J. Jothikumar unite for an action-packed, 40-page odyssey guest-starring the BIKER MICE FROM MARS, ROBOFORCE, and a literal cast of thousands.
“I’m so excited to be a part of the wonderful team bringing The Great Garloo to the front stage in his first headlining story,” said writer Leon Reiser. “Being able to craft a fresh take for this classic character has been such a pleasure and after 60 years it’s finally time for this loveable, little freak to make a name for himself in the modern world! We’ve put Garloo through the wringer for his first outing and I can’t wait for everyone to see that this toy is not to be played with!”
So what’s Nacelleverse: The Great Garloo #0 about?
The Red Planet is in revolt . . . and hard-charging rebels Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo are joining up with Mars’ Freedom Fighters to fight the army of alien Plutarkian invaders. But when a new, entirely unexpected threat to Mars rears its ugly head, threatening the existence of their families, friends, and the fourth planet itself, will the Biker Mice’s war become a full-fledged apocalypse?

Since the events of NACELLEVERSE #0, the orphaned alien Garloo has crossed the cosmos—gearing up with ROBOFORCE, racing alongside the BIKER MICE FROM MARS, witnessing the power of the SECTAURS OF SYMBION, and so many more heroes along the way. Now, on his newly adopted home of Earth, he’s found his true purpose and made peace with his destiny as the last remaining survivor of the doomed planet Larlon—or so he thought! When faced with an epic choice between a mundane existence and accepting a new kind of cosmic challenge, will Garloo discover what it takes to be not just good but GREAT?
NACELLEVERSE: THE GREAT GARLOO #0 is the first full-length solo adventure for the iconic toy monster who first marched into the world in 1961 and led the birth of the NacelleVerse in 2024– soon to be featured across the Nacelle Company’s upcoming slate of animated series, beginning with the debut of ROBOFORCE: THE ANIMATED SERIES on April 12th, exclusively on Tubi! RoboForce: Dwayne Johnson, Brian Volk-Weiss and Dany Garcia serve as Executive Producers on the series.
