With a new film in 2025 and a long-awaited video game coming in 2026, the Toxic Avenger is hot! AHOY’s first TOXIE graphic novel hit stores like a rocket in 2025, and this companion volume sees the “hero from New Jersey” meet up with a surprise lineup of comic stars. First up: Jesus Christ from the hit series SECOND COMING, by that series’ creative team, Mark Russell and Richard Pace! Other clashes include the dystopian cops called JUSTICE WARRIORS, by Toxie mastermind Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson; the Garden State’s other monster, the Jersey Devil; Dragonfly, from THE WRONG EARTH; and that homicidal simian, Acid Chimp.

The Toxic Avengers teams up with Jesus Christ in Ahoy Comics’ Toxic Mess Summer

Some say, Jesus take the wheel. Now the Toxic Avenger is here to give your lord and savior a helping hand.

This summer the Toxic Avenger will team-up with Jesus Christ in the pages of an all-new comic book written by Mark Russell, drawn by Richard Pace, and published by AHOY Comics. The sure-to-be-controversial debut issue of The Toxie Team-Up is the latest comic book adventure for the legendary hero from the Troma Films cult classic films, following Matt Bors and Fred Harper’s acclaimed revival of the character in 2024.

Now AHOY Comics is ushering in a Toxic Mess Summer as they partner with a slew of incredible artists and writers for The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special — followed by an ambitious mini-series that will find Toxie rubbing elbows with characters from a number of other fan-favorite AHOY titles, including Jesus Christ (from the pages of Russell and Pace’s controversial Second Coming), the Jersey Devil (from the creature-packed anthology Project: Cryptid), Acid Chimp (from Russell, Bryce Ingman and Peter Krause’s absurdly hilarious My Bad), Dragonflyman and Stinger (from Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle’s multiversal saga The Wrong Earth), and Swamp Cop and Schitt (from Bors’ and Ben Clarkson’s satirical smash hit Justice Warriors). 

The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special will land in stores on May 14, 2025, followed by issue #1 of The Toxie Team-Up on June 11, 2025. The Toxic Avenger graphic novel, publishing the acclaimed comic book mini-series by writer Matt Bors and artist Fred Harper, will be published on April Fool’s Day.
