Releasing in December, DTOX: SPECIAL BIOHAZARD EDITION, introduces a new character to the Asylum Universe. DTOX is presented in a magazine size format. DTOX is written by Frank Forte (Warlash, Undead Evil) and illustrated by Nenad Gucunja (Satan's 3-Ring Circus of Hell, Girls and Corpses).

DTOX takes place in a post-Armageddon future. The lone biohazard warrior fights to cleanse the earth of a rising toxic mutant population. Killvixen, a knife-wielding femme fatale, soon joins him. Together, armed with the mobile arsenal code-named DTANK, they travel the ravaged midwest in search of rogue monstrosities and fuel. This 12-page action packed story introduces the world of DTOX, Killvixen and the biogeneticist, Scourge who is creating an army of disease carrying mutants. Also features a special concept art section with unused penciled pages and character design.

"DTOX is inspired by the Heavy Metal Magazine I used to read in the 1980s. Characters like Ranxerox and Den showed how far comics could really go. Pepe Moreno, Guido Crepax and Caza just blew me away. I grew tired of costumed superheroes after a while and wanted something more. I found it in the pages of Heavy Metal, " explains Frank Forte, " Now I'm giving back."

"Working on DTOX was fantastic, " says Nenad Gucunja, " I was able go off on the script and expand the scenes. Then Frank would go back and rewrite it. What came out was something fun and demented."
