Exclusive | Aliens take over the White House in this preview of ‘The Toxic Avenger Comics’ #10

Matt Bors and Fred Harper wrap up their ‘Toxie Goes to Washington’ arc in next week’s issue from Ahoy Comics.

We’re pleased to kick off the week with an exclusive first look at The Toxic Avenger Comics #10, the conclusion of the “Toxie Goes to Washington” storyline from writer Matt Bors and artist Fred Harper. It goes on sale July 29 from Ahoy Comics.

This story arc began in issue #6 with Toxie arriving in Washington, D.C., and things haven’t gone well for our hero. He finds himself framed for the murder of the president, while the “new female human leader” — who is obviously not an alien in disguise; why would you think that? It’s perfectly normal to remove your skin on live TV — continues to consolidates power in an effort to destroy the Earth AND ban all comics, to boot. Dastardly!

Can Toxie and the Planet Teens beat the Radiation Rangers and stop the imposter? Will America, and comics, be saved? Check out the preview below, and then pick up the issue next week to see how it all ends.

Ahoy Comics announces the time-travel dramedy ‘G.I.L.T.’

The new series begins in April.

Comics writer and novelist Alisa Kwitney and artist Mauricet will travel through time — not literally, but literary — in the new series G.I.L.T. from Ahoy Comics.

“G.I.L.T.” stands for “Guild of Independent Lady Temporalists,” and the comic features two women who travel back in time to the day they first met, in 1973. Ahoy describes it as “a snappy, stylish romantic dramedy.”

“G.I.L.T. follows two very different women whose lives become entangled when they both slip through a portal in time to the day they first met in 1973,” said Kwitney. “Trista is the Bill Murray of home health care aides, a cynical screw-up who doesn’t care for anything but her Fleuvog shoes and her paycheck. She meets her match in Hildy, a sarcastic second-wave feminist living on a steady diet of cigarettes and regret. When Hildy seizes her last chance to return to a fateful day in 1973, she accidentally takes Trista along for the ride. But as the old saying goes, there are no accidents in time travel. And Hildy and Trista don’t remember each other, but they met each other 40 years earlier—on Hildy’s wedding day. Now they’ve got to come to terms with the past before they accidentally dismantle the future.”
