Blinded by the Blight: The Toxic Avenger Returns with Matt Bors and Tristen Wright 🥣 Season 13, Episode 6 Remember your first happy hour? Saturday mornings — when you’d wake up with the sun, grab a bowl of chocolatey cereal, and lose yourself in a world of cartoons, commercials, and pure, unfiltered joy. We’re still chasing that feeling, one episode at a time. This week, the Saturday Morning Cereal crew dives headfirst into radioactive sludge as https://mattypradio.com/toxie-goes-to-washington-the-toxic-avenger-is-back-and-hes-aiming-at-the-capitol/ Hosted by Grim Shea, Marke, Johnny Heck, and Jimmy “The Gent” Leszczynski from Retro Cool Nerd, the gang explores the newest chapter in Toxie’s long, weird, and wonderfully grotesque legacy. The timing couldn’t be better. AHOY Comics recently released Toxic Avenger Volume 2: Love and Blight, the trade paperback collecting the latest comic book adventures of the mop-wielding mutant hero from the classic Troma Films universe. Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Matt Bors, with art by legendary Toxie artist Fred Harper and contributions from a lineup of talented creators, the new volume sends Toxie shambling through horror, crime, science fiction, romance, and fantasy. The Toxic Avenger remains the perfect radioactive antidote for a toxic world. But what is “toxic,” anyway? The crew gets into the generational shift that makes Toxie such an interesting character to revisit today. In the 1980s, toxic meant sludge, pollution, chemical waste, and the looming fear of the ozone layer disappearing — the kind of environmental nightmares that gave us Tromaville in the first place. Today, the word toxic often points to behavior, politics, culture, and the way we treat each other. Different decades, different anxieties, and somehow Toxie still fits right in the middle of it all. To celebrate the release, Grim Shea and Marke sat down with writer https://www.mattbors.com and artist http://www.tristanwright.com to talk about reviving the Toxic Avenger for a new generation, balancing satire with mutant mayhem, and why this bizarre cult hero still has something meaningful (and messy) to say about the world we live in. Grab a bowl of cereal, crank up the cartoons, and join us. Because when the world gets toxic, sometimes it takes Toxie to clean it up. Stay crunchy, my friends. 🥣

A portrait drawing I did of junkyard from the #ToxicCrusaders . There is a beatemup by @retroware.bsky.social coming some time in 2026. Looking forward to it.

#ToxicCrusaders. Inspired by the ’90s animated series , This retro-styled beat ’em up brings Toxie & his mutant crew back for side-scrolling brawler action that feels ripped straight from the arcade era. Featuring hand-drawn pixel art, exaggerated animations, and over-the-top humour

Bonne ambiance sur ce toxic crusaders de @retroware.bsky.social Une bonne reprise à 4? A vos serp’

Baku: Next up for the spook themed Wedgie Wednesday is Mayor Max Grody from Toxic Crusaders. He thought he was being slick wearing boxers to avoid a wedgie. #MayorMaxGrody #ToxicCrusaders #WedgieWednesday #Wedgie #Belly

The Return of Never Slept. Appropriate considering my current schedule. I drew this years ago but she’s a dead ringer for the character Mesra in #ToxicCrusaders, albeit a few years older. A subconscious self riff. Now I feel the urge to give her an alien moon friend in the book.

New addition to the collection and cosplay list!
