Exclusive First Look: The Toxic Avenger Comics

Movies & TV is thrilled to exclusively unveil a sneak peek of Ahoy Comics’ inaugural ongoing series, The Toxic Avenger Comics.

A Bold New Storyline from Matt Bors

“When I first approached Lloyd Kaufman and Troma about reviving the Toxic Avenger in comics, I wasn’t modest,” said Bors in a press release to Movies & TV. “I pitched a new origin, outrageous new characters, and a fully mapped-out, mopped-up, multi-year storyline. Now, Fred Harper and I have been given the green light to go crazy.”

This exciting new storyline will kick off in The Toxic Avenger Comics sixth issue, titled “Toxie Goes to Washington,” featuring preview pages illustrated by Harper in the initial five genre-hopping adventures.
