As part of our updates, we want to showcase some of the weird characters we have featured in our latest book. Here, we focus on one of our tag teams: "The Martian Maniacs." Think of them as the "Road Warriors" or "Demolition" from the 80s, except with green skin. They have a penchant for deviant behavior, destroying everything in their path, and little regard for civility. These twin aliens only know one speed: Maximum Overdrive!
