The Toxic Avenger Is Back, and He's Teaming Up With... Jesus Christ?

Author : Zoey Update:Feb 27,2025

AHOY Comics' 2024 revival of cult hero Toxic Crusader continues this year with "Toxic Mess Summer," a crossover event uniting Toxie with AHOY's diverse roster of heroes, including a surprising collaboration with Jesus Christ.

The summer extravaganza begins in May with The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special, showcasing various artists' interpretations of Toxie and his associates. This is followed by the Toxie Team-Up miniseries, featuring Toxie teaming up with characters from Project: Cryptid, My Bad, The Wrong Earth, Justice Warriors, and, notably, Second Coming's Jesus Christ.

For the uninitiated, Second Coming depicts Jesus' return to Earth and his unlikely roommate situation with superhero Sunstar. The series has generated significant buzz, and this new collaboration is sure to continue the conversation.

Toxie Team-Up #1 is written and illustrated by Mark Russell and Richard Pace, the creative team behind Second Coming. Russell commented in AHOY's press release, stating that the pairing highlights Christ's approach beyond violence and finds common ground between Tromaville and the Roman Empire's bullying culture.

AHOY Comics Editor-in-Chief Tom Peyer highlighted the Toxic Avenger's enduring pop culture status, prompting the playful question: "Why doesn’t he have a church of his own?"

Release dates are set for May 14th (The Toxic Avenger Pinup Special) and June 11th (Toxie Team-Up #1). A trade paperback collection of Matt Bors and Fred Harper's The Toxic Avenger miniseries arrives April 1st. Pre-orders are available on Amazon.

The Toxic Avenger's cinematic return is also slated for 2025. IGN's Amelia Emberwing described the 2023 film as a "mixed bag," acknowledging its increased budget but noting it falls short of the original's schlocky charm. However, she praised its heartfelt elements and practical effects, along with the performances of Kevin Bacon and Peter Dinklage.
