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.


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.
