On Wednesday, September 17th, AHOY Comics is set to release THE TOXIC AVENGER COMICS #3 – the latest issue in an all-new ongoing series masterminded by THE NIB founder and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Matt Bors, who will be writing the series.
Each issue of THE TOXIC AVENGER COMICS’ first story arc will be illustrated by a different artist and showcase a different genre, such as horror (#1) and crime (#2). Issue #3 is a sci fi-themed story written by Bors and illustrated by Tristan Wright, whose TOXIC CRUSADERS series premieres this month, with covers by Harper and Bors. Subsequent issues will be told in the tradition of romance comics (issue 4) and fantasy comics (issue 5).
Here’s a look at the covers, the storyline, and

Sentiac, an artificial intelligence in an armored body, thinks it should rid the world of all imperfect humans! The Toxic Avenger disagrees!
Art by Tristan Wright, whose TOXIC CRUSADERS series premieres this month! Cover A and flashforward vignette drawn by Fred Harper! And watch for the gross Matt Bors variant depicting Toxie relieving Troma Entertainment bigwig Lloyd Kaufman of his intestines! Bleagh!!!
About AHOY Comics:
AHOY Comics debuted in the fall of 2018 with the bold promise for readers to expect more from its line of comic book magazines, featuring comic book stories, poetry, prose fiction, and cartoons.
The independent, Syracuse-based company is the brainchild of Publisher Hart Seely, an award-winning reporter whose humor and satire has appeared in The New York Times and on National Public Radio. AHOY’s Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer is committed to publishing comics with a (dark) sense of humor with titles like the superhero parody THE WRONG EARTH, the religious satire HIGH HEAVEN, the sci fi spoof CAPTAIN GINGER, the time travel tales PLANET OF THE NERDS and BRONZE AGE BOOGIE, HASHTAG: DANGER and the anthology series EDGAR ALLAN POE’S SNIFTER OF TERROR. This summer, the company will publish the highly anticipated SECOND COMING, the satirical comic book series by Mark Russell and Richard Pace in which Jesus Christ resumes His Holy Mission.
