Summary: The Maxx Concludes!
Comment: This brings the story of "The Maxx" to a close.
If you want to find out what happens between Maxx and Julie Winters............If you want to know if Maxx finally beats Mr. Gone........If you want to know how the story ends than why don't you have this book?
Just get it already!

Summary: Awesome Comic!
Comment: As usual, Sam Keith proves that he is an artistic genius with this gripping story of one of the most unusual superheros ever created.
What I like about this story is that it shows how the world would really react to a superhero. It also shows that even with superpowers, we are all still human by showing the characters' imperfections.
A definite must-read for any superhero fan!
Especially those who like urban superhero stories as opposed to science fiction superhero-type stories!
I reccomend this very highly!

Summary: Other Books
Comment: A big purple monster type guy protects a girl that is trying to help others. A nasty bad guy and his hordes of creepy little black chomping demon type things try and get to her.
That is, if most of this isn't just some demented dream or other. Entertaining, but maybe a little wayward.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun !!!
Comment: Sam Kieth's work has always been based on psychological and anthropological themes. His stories of Maxx were great up until second cycle (Sara's story), which demanded that fans who read it (second cycle) have Bachelors in Psychology.
This last book is 'Friends of Maxx' collection and it is far more for masses than mentioned Maxx stories (II cycle). You can read it as stand alone trade paperback, without knowing who Maxx , Julie, Sara and Gone are.

Summary: "Ya got any toast?"
Comment: The Maxx is a masterpiece. It's that simple.
Personally, I found The Maxx through watching the MTV Liquid Television show. I was very young, and very confused. Once I got older, though, I found a renewed interest in The Maxx and Sam K.'s work.
If you liked the show, and you know how to read, this is a no-brainer. Even if you've never seen the show, the various art styles, deep story and astounding, true-to-life dialog (Thanks to Messner-Loebs) will suck you in. This series honestly changed the way I look at life. You can see the specifics on the story in other reviews. I just wanted to share what The Maxx means to me. Which is a lot. Thank you, Sam Kieth.
