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!

The character is made to feel fresh well still being familiar to us readers. Read Full Review

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.
