Issue Description

In 1977, NASA inexplicably sent four hamsters into space to investigate a strange mass of radioactive gelatin that was hovering over the Earth. Due to exposure from the radioactive mass, the four hamsters quickly changed, evolving into something new. Something adolescent. Something radioactive! Crash landing in the Himalayas, the Hamsters were found by a hidden monastery of monks who nursed them back to health, training the group in the martial arts. Now they're back and Dynamite has them! Under the watchful eye of original series creator Don Chin, writer Keith Champagne (Countdown: Arena) is joined by artist Tom Nguyen for a comic book series unlike the world has ever seen! Ninjas! Barbarians! Huns! Monks! Hamsters! This one's got it all! Look for the special Hamsters alternate cover by Mice Templar's Michael Avon Oeming!
 
This issue focuses on the new team of Hamsters, including Jean-Claude, Rock, Lucy, Arnold, and Steven, and introduces the villain, Genghis Khann.
 
Khann's forces invade the Hamster's old monastery, and the new team tries to get it back.

Dynamite Entertainment

Volume Description

The original Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters, created by Don Chin and Parsonavich, was rebooted by Keith Champaigne and Tom Nguyen. They told an all-new story arc about the hamsters' lives 20 years after the original series ended, retconning the hamsters' origin, as well as Bruce's death and the separation of the rest of the hamsters. They also added a second team of five new hamsters, also named after action stars: Arnold, Rock, Jean-Claude, Steven, and Lucy. The new series is completely irreverent to everything in the original series, as is appropriate for a team that is irreverent to everything else.
