A Toxic Tale Continues: Unveiling The Next Wave

Matt Bors and Fred Harper breathe new life into an old tale. Their ongoing reboot of The Toxic Avenger takes another thrilling turn with issue #3, set to drop on December 11. Right now, fans can sneak a peek at the exclusive six-page preview. This installment promises a nostalgic trip before diving back into the present action with our troubled, dump-diving hero.

Chaos in Tromaville: A New Kind of Hero

In this bold reimagining, Tromaville’s catastrophe plays out with dramatic flair. A chemical spill has left the town reeling. The corporation behind this mess sends its private militia, the Radiation Rangers, to clean up the chaos. Yet, as our hero Toxie gets involved, he uncovers a chilling truth.

For fans collecting covers, there’s more to love. Issue #3 flaunts alternate covers by Bors and the talented Sophie Campbell, known for her work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Wet Moon. These add an exciting dimension for collectors and lovers of unique art. The main cover by Fred Harper comes bagged with a special trading card by Ben Clarkson, known for his collaboration on Bors’s Justice Warriors. The regular issue will sell for $3.99, while the collector’s edition with the card is priced at $4.99.

From Film to Comic: A Hero is Reborn

The comic series is inspired by the cult 1990s film series. Back then, audiences fell for Melvin Ferd’s strange transformation after a toxic tumble. From a nerdy janitor to a mutation with muscles, he scours Tromaville for evil to crush. Despite his monstrous look, he battles corruption with humor and heart.

Lloyd Kaufman’s TROMA studios birthed this oddball tale and stood as a creative training ground. It nurtured talents like Eli Roth and Oliver Stone. Even James Gunn honed his skills there, with Tromeo and Juliet paving his path to fame. Matt and Trey Parker, famed for South Park, also cut their teeth on TROMA’s indie films.

Now, with fresh pages and vibrant covers, The Toxic Avenger looks to lure new readers to its cheerfully grotesque world. Here’s to another round of radioactive adventures.
