The Toadies are featured in the August issue of X-men ’92, along with the Flaming Lips. The idea for incorporating the bands into the comic came partly from writer Chad Bowers. Bowers is an admitted Toadies fan stating

“The Flaming Lips and the Toadies are two of my favorite bands, and each had a profound impact on my musical tastes growing up —Rubberneck for the Toadies, and The Soft Bulletin and really everything behind it for the Lips. Getting to reference not just the bands, but the music and what those songs meant to us is pretty surreal, and unlike anything either of us imagined we’d be doing on X-Men ‘92.”

On the topic of how they came up with the idea, co-writer Chris Sims said

“It really all started with us joking about the kind of stunts they’d pull in comics in the ’90s, and Chad and I going ‘hey, wouldn’t it be great if we could get a real-life band to appear in the issue, like they did with celebrity guest appearances back then.’ We just didn’t think we’d actually get to do it!”

The Toadies were also stoked about the project. Drummer Mark Reznicek, also a comic book creator, told Billboard

“As a lifelong fan of comics in general, and X-Men in particular, I couldn’t be more excited that the Toadies are appearing as characters in X-Men ‘92,”

Toadies bassist Doni Blair added

“As an X-Men fan since 1977 this is a dream come true. Five year old me would do a Kool-Aid spit take on this news.”
