You remember him from the classic films, animated series, and action figures-now America's grossest icon returns to comics! A train hauling chemical waste derails in Tromaville, NJ, transforming bullied teenager Melvin Junko into the massive, mop-wielding Toxic Avenger. Pulitzer finalist Matt Bors (The Nib, Justice Warriors) and artist Fred Harper (Highball) deliver a Toxie reboot brewed especially for the 21st century!
While it stands on its own, 'The Toxic Avenger' is a mighty continuation of that extra cheesy, extra violent film that defined an era in truly great (bad) cinema. Read Full Review
Matt Bors does a great job of introducing us to Tromaville and all our main characters. Starting out with a new origin story for a beloved character like Toxie is a challenge and Matt does a great job with that. The character is made to feel fresh well still being familiar to us readers. Read Full Review
This reboot rocks!!! The art itself deserves a score of eleventeen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the old movies for the schlock they are, but this book didn't hit with me. The art is poor, the writing is ok but a little too preachy and basic. I won't be picking up #2.
Toxic is awesome, but this comic has a been there done that feel. Meh.
