Exclusive Reveal: The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2 Troma Entertainment Cover

This fall the Toxic Avenger will come face to face with his evil duplicate, The Noxious Offender, in a five-part, can’t-miss comic book event extravaganza by writer Matt Bors and art by Felipe Sobreiro. The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender will mark the first ever appearance of the Noxious Offender in a comic book series. To commemorate this event, AHOY Comics and legendary independent movie studio Troma Entertainment will release a series of collectible variant covers, and we have the exclusive reveal of Troma Entertainment’s variant cover for The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2!

The latest addition to the Toxie revival’s stacked roster is a no-holds-barred showdown between New Jersey’s finest mutant and his super evil duplicate: The Noxious Offender. TOXIE VS. NOXIE makes the comic book debut of the Noxious Offender in a comic, following his iconic introduction in Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, the fourth installment of The Toxic Avenger franchise.

An evil duplicate of Toxie appears in our dimension… How he came to this main universe, and why, is a mystery—but it seems to relate to Toxie’s long-lost estranged dad, who left him and his mother when he was five, suddenly showing up trying to be involved in his life. Meanwhile Toxie’s girlfriend Yvonne is pregnant with Toxie’s mutant baby and the two are deciding to become young parents. Toxie wants to become a father—and a good one—but first he must confront his dark side, who begins ruling Tromaville in his name and changing the rules. Will Toxie and Yvonne save Tromaville from—er—himself? Will Toxie be a better father than the disastrous Hugh J Payne? Will the real Toxic Avenger please stand up?!

Check out the exclusive reveal of Troma Entertainment’s variant cover for The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2 and don’t miss the first issue when it debuts October 2026!
