Aspen Comics Unleashing New All-Ages Series Psycho Bonkers

One of the best things about the Mario Kart series is the sheer insanity in the gameplay that's accompanied by a general, all-ages feel. It's a great combination that really works and makes for quality entertainment. It also proves that all-age properties about racing can work, as in Aspen Comics' new series Psycho Bonkers, due in stores May 20th. The series is written by Vince Hernandez, penciled by Adam Archer and colored by Federico Blee. Psycho Bonkers will take readers through five legs within the race of all races – The Super Bonk Rally – spanning amazing landscapes and death-defying terrain.

“We here at Aspen thought Psycho Bonkers would be a great follow up in our commitment to creating more diverse and inclusive comics,” said scribe Hernandez. “Shine is a spunky, daring young heroine who will take readers of all ages for a thrilling ride through a world inspired by the likes of Mario Kart, Mega Man and Wreck-It Ralph.”

Join Shine, a young but unyielding teenage girl, as she races to find the true story behind the tragedy that wrecked her family and shattered the sport of Bonk Racing to its core. Along with her trusted technician, Gabbo, and her sentient Bonk Racer, Shiza, she will discover that learning the truth about her future is as dangerous as the tragic past she is trying to forget.

The premiere issue also features variant covers from Mike Bowden, Peter Steigerwald and Ale Garza. Full press release below.
