Ahoy Comics Unveils December 2025 Lineup With Death Dog and Toxic Avenger
Ahoy Comics is ending the year strong with a newly released December 2025 slate that mixes post-apocalyptic drama, time-travel adventure, mutant mayhem, and polit-horror. From the rogue robot canine in Death Dog to the never-boring outrages of Toxic Avenger, Ahoy Comics continues to push bold, socially resonant comics with wild concepts and sharp satire. Here’s a rundown of what’s heading your way in December.
Ahoy Comics December 2025 Lineup
- Death Dog #2
Written by Bryce Ingham with art by Alan Robinson. According to Bleeding Cool‘s preview, “Concluding the touching pilot story of Wyatt, a near-future street kid, and Dog, a police robot-dog programmed to execute suspects on the street. Now the malfunctioning Dog protects Wyatt as he trespasses into a wealthy, gated community for a heartbreaking encounter.” Solicited for release December 3, 2025. - Ancestral Recall #5
Written by Jordan Clark with interior art by Atagun Ilhan. This is the final issue of Ancestral Recall, in which Melvin wakes in the future and must harness the strength of Black history to rescue his wife and hinder the Modern Living Corporation’s plans. It promises to wrap up its time-travel tale with both thoughtfulness and weight. Solicited for release December 17, 2025. - Toxic Crusaders #3
Scripted by Matt Bors, art by Tristan Wright (cover A) and variant cover by Molly Stanard (cover B). This issue expands the Toxic Crusaders team’s weird mutant mayhem: villainous Mr. K uses disgraced former police officers to create hideous mutants. Also, there’s an eviction notice at Crusaders HQ—so the stakes are oddly domestic amid all the chaos. Solicited for release December 24, 2025. - The Toxic Avenger #6
Another by Matt Bors; art by Fred Harper (cover A) and Erica Henderson (cover B). This marks the beginning of a new saga: Toxie Goes to Washington. Expect conspiracy, political violence, and a bit of surreal satire as the Toxic Avenger takes his battles into the halls of Congress, confronting threats both fantastical and very real. Solicited for release on December 31, 2025.
Final Thoughts
With these offerings, Ahoy rounds out 2025 by leaning into stories that combine genre thrills with social commentary. Long-time readers will recognize the publisher’s trademark blend of off-kilter humor and sharp political bite, but the December slate also signals a willingness to experiment with new creators and perspectives. Death Dog’s dystopian heart, Ancestral Recall’s time-traveling meditation on legacy, and the ever-mutating Toxic Avenger universe together show how Ahoy can shift between pathos, pulp, and parody without losing its edge.
Whether you’re after mutant chaos, a heartfelt robot-dog saga, or a smart twist on superhero tropes, Ahoy’s lineup is a clear sign that its mission of making “comics with a point” is alive and well. If the December books deliver on their solicitations, they could end up being some of the publisher’s most talked-about releases heading into the new year.
