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

The summer kicks off 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 an eclectic group: the Jersey Devil (from Project: Cryptid), Acid Chimp (My Bad), Dragonflyman and Stinger (The Wrong Earth), Swamp Cop and Schitt (Justice Warriors), and, notably, Jesus Christ (Second Coming).

Toxie Team-Up #1 is written and illustrated by Mark Russell and Richard Pace, the creative team behind Second Coming. Russell comments, "Toxic Avenger and Jesus Christ is the team-up everyone's been demanding, and I'm not one to obstruct." He further explains the thematic connection, highlighting Christ's non-violent approach and the relatable aspects of Tromaville for someone familiar with Roman-era bullying.

AHOY Comics Editor-in-Chief, Tom Peyer, notes Toxie's pop culture status, "Having spawned films, cartoons, action figures, a musical, and a Marvel comic, the Toxic Avenger is an icon. The only question is: why doesn't he have his own church?"

Toxie's cinematic return is also slated for 2025. IGN's Amelia Emberwing describes the 2023 film as a "mixed bag," acknowledging its increased budget but noting a shortfall in the "so-bad-it's-good" charm of the original. However, she praises the film's heart and practical effects, along with the performances of Kevin Bacon and Peter Dinklage.
