Spinning straight out of his acclaimed solo title, the Toxic Avenger battles alongside some of comics' greatest and most controversial superstars in this surprise limited series. First up, from AHOY's own Second Coming: Jesus Christ, the Son of God! Written and drawn by that smash hit comic's creative team, Mark Russell (Batman: Dark Age) and Richard Pace, with a cover by Toxie's own artist, Fred Harper!
The first issue of this new series is a very entertaining and fun ride. The book doesnt really take itself seriously, well at the same time still delivering a good story. Mark Russell walks the fine line between innocent entertaining and being offensive to a sector of the population expertly. Never does the book disrespect the Christian faith or portray Jesus in a bad light, which is a credit to Marks writing. Read Full Review
All in all, Toxie Team-Up #1 is a fun return to the world of Second Coming even if it lacks its parent title's satirical bite. (The soup kitchen manager naming his model trains after the victims of experimental toxic waste experiments.) I love the arc of Jesus helping Toxie harness his rage to effect real societal change, and they have big co-workers at a crappy job energy. Also, it's cool to see Richard Pace embrace a more over-the-top Troma style with his visuals to offset his usual realistic style that he showcases in the book's lone flashback sequence.

Jesus comes to Tromaville, and boy it is it a tough read. The art has it's moments, but there's a scratchiness to things that makes the awkward bits of the script feel that much more disturbing. Read Full Review
