Marshal Moo Montana is saddling up for the first time in over 30 years, and he's not alone. Dakota Dude, Cowlorado Kid & Cowlamity Kate + much more are joining him. Matt Hotson (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return) and Juan Gedeon (DC: The Jurassic League) team up to bring you a nostalgic charm that will have you reminiscing about Saturday morning cartoons with the return of Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa. Oni Press & the Nacelle Company have recently announced that a new chapter of the Nacelleverse will drop on September 17th, 2025 - a week and 33 years since its first broadcast on television! We have an extended look at some of the preview pages, so it's time to giddy up and dive right in!!
WILD WEST C.O.W.-BOYS OF MOO MESA #1
Writer - Matt Hotson
Artist - Juan Gedeon
Before he takes the badge, ride into the lawless border town of Moo Mesa as we meet Marshal Moo Montana in his earliest adventure! In a time gripped by fear and uncertainty, disorder pervades the desert, and its citizens have started to go missing—including Moo’s former mentor, the respected Sheriff Marey Quine.
With shadows growing across the mesa, Moo must navigate old grudges, new alliances, and a conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of the mesa’s past.
“I loved Moo Mesa as a kid—Dakota Dude was my favorite!” said artist Juan Gedeon. “The heroes looked badass but still kind, which I found awesome. I wanted to be like them when I grew up. Now that I’m 38, it’s wild realizing the real villains were the sheriff and the mayor, the people who should actually protect the citizens. Thank God that only happens in cartoons, right? Bringing these characters to life has been the most fun I’ve had in years. Matt’s scripts are amazing, I laughed out loud several times while reading them. Getting the faces right nearly broke me—I spent full days stuck on just one, but now I finally got the hang of it…I think! I’m aiming to create a book that hits for both lifelong fans and kids who’ve never heard of Moo Mesa—something that captures the heart of the original but levels it up for a new generation.”
