AHOY Comics shares the cover and Pages 1-5 reveal of the fifth of 5 issues; Toxie crosses mops with Swamp Cop and Schitt, the crooked mutant cops from ‘Justice Warriors;’ available October 29.
AHOY Comics has just shared another exclusive with AWN… this time, it’s the cover and Pages 1-5 of “Toxie Team-Up #5,’ the fifth and final episode in the comic book series, which will be released October 29.Issue #5 is the latest comic book adventure for the legendary hero, the Toxic Avenger from the Troma Films cult classic films, following Matt Bors and Fred Harper’s acclaimed revival of the character in 2024.
The ambitious mini-series finds Toxie rubbing elbows with characters from a number of other fan-favorite AHOY titles.Previous issues found Toxie teaming up with 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”), and Dragonflyman and Stinger (from Tom Peyer and Jamal Igle’s multiversal saga “The Wrong Earth”).Now, issue #5 finds Toxie crossing mops with Swamp Cop and Schitt, the crooked mutant cops from Bors’ and acclaimed animator, filmmaker, and illustrator Ben Clarkson's sensational series “Justic Warriors.” “’Toxic Avenger’ has always been a genre mashup of horror, comedy, and superhero,” Bors noted upon the launch of the series.
“I wanted to lean hard onto what stories are possible with this specific character in this specific medium — comics.In these first five issues, we are delving into the crime rotting the heart of Tromaville, the romance between Toxie and his girlfriend Yvonne, the science fiction of mutant powers, and more.Me — and the talented they won't let me announce just yet! — are adding new mutated heroes, demented villains, and horny losers to every single issue.
These are characters you will see again, as we lay the groundwork for a real ongoing series with years of stories ahead.”
