Join in the rebirth of the greatest and grossest animated-series sensation of all time: Toxic Crusaders, an all-new limited comic book series coming this September featuring the Toxic Avenger of Troma Entertainment fame alongside fellow mutants No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and the all-new character Fungirl. The five-issue series from AHOY Comics will be written by THE NIB founder and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Matt Bors — whose recent revival of the Toxic Avenger in comics received widespread acclaim — and feature art by debut talent Tristan Wright.

In addition to a main cover by series artist Tristan Wright, Toxic Crusaders will feature an exclusive trading card variant, a variant cover by AR Sullivan, and a special Retroware game art variant cover by Xander Arnot, celebrating the all-new, highly anticipated upcoming Toxic Crusaders game. Issue #1 of Toxic Crusaders will land in stores on September 10, hot on the heels of the all-new Toxic Avenger movie starring Peter Dinklage, which hits theaters on Labor Day Weekend.

Toxic Crusaders #1 will land in comic shops on September 10, 2025.
