Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2 Preview: Tromaville Has an Impostor Problem

Posted on by

Toxie is gone, an evil double is tearing through Tromaville, and the guy’s own father is apparently fine with it. Crusaders, that is a spectacularly rotten family situation. The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2 arrives November 11, 2026 from AHOY Comics, and we have the official covers and preview pages for the next round of this toxic identity crisis.

Written by two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Matt Bors with art by Felipe Sobreiro, the five-part series brings the Noxious Offender into a comic-book series for the first time. The setup puts Toxie’s other-dimensional duplicate in a position to do real damage while the actual Avenger is out of the picture. Looking like the hero is one dangerous advantage when the person wearing that face has no intention of acting like him.

In issue #2, the Noxious Offender’s violence reaches through Tromaville and Toxie’s family. Toxie’s long-lost father, Hugh J. Payne, is not exactly standing in the way. The supplied credits page confirms that Noxie has gotten Toxie out of the way and is impersonating him, so the trouble here comes with a familiar face and a very different attitude.

The story, titled “17 Weeks,” features Lee Loughridge on colors and Rob Steen on lettering, with Tom Peyer editing. Those credits come directly from the supplied issue materials. The official five-page preview follows below so you can see Bors and Sobreiro’s next installment before the book reaches shops.

The cover lineup offers Cover A by Matt Bors, Cover B by Felipe Sobreiro and Cover C, a Troma photo cover credited to Troma and Steen. The issue is listed at $4.99; check with your retailer about the availability and pricing of specific variants.

The Toxic Avenger vs. The Noxious Offender #2 hits comic shops on Wednesday, November 11. Visit AHOY Comics for more from the publisher and take a look through the supplied art below. An impostor cutting loose in Tromaville is bad enough; a father giving that chaos his approval makes me wonder just how much worse this family reunion can get.
