worst part of liking something forgotten from 30 years ago is the thing is the thing. there is no more content or discussion to be had. I watched the maxx, i read the maxx, i finished the maxx.
It really ended on a big fat nothing though. Everyone just sort of accepted that their reality was ending and they all became alt universe versions of themselves, the end.
>Everyone just sort of accepted that their reality was ending and they all became alt universe versions of themselves, the end.
Because the universe was ending and because they wanted a fresh start away from the trauma everyone experienced. The comic before that was them dealing with it as best they could.
No shit she isn't chubby, that's why I said chunky you knee-jerk reactionary.
In an episode and the comic she even confirms she's not slim, but obviously not fat either.
>you moron zoomers
You're the obvious zoomer here, moron. This body type was not considered thin back then. I bet you don't even remember the 90s and 2000s anorexia epidemic
sure i did you gay, but not everyone thinks alike in every time or age, yes anorexia was talked about but at same time you saw girls and woman of all shapes, fat, slim, chubby, thin. I just thought you were one of those modern day gays who loves cellulite shitbodies
/co/om aside, i cant think of a cartoon that understands men and women better than this. the push and pull of wanting to save and be saved really resonates with me. plenty of stories are like "these people are broken but fit together like a puizzle dood" but they never go beyond and dig deep into characters like maxx does.
I think it's because the Maxx doesn't romanticize it. The comic and the show both underline how they're all fricked up people and the best thing they can do is >comic
Start life over from square one. >show
Let each other go and move on.
nail on the head. the entire apathetic nature of it makes all sentiments echo and linger like an empty hallway. its clean cut with no frills and does what it needs to do. are there examples of anything else that tries this and lands flat on its face?
Falls flat? Any comic that romanticizes broken people coming together and not magnifying the problems they experience. But I don't read that genre so I have no recommendations.
For anything that does a good job, probably the rest of Sam Kieth's bibliography. Admittedly it has been 10 years since I read his other comics.
Silent Hill 2 is a similar version. Despite being a game. It's also about fricked up people interacting, but not as closely as the ones in the Maxx.
Silent Hill 2 is amazing and one of my favorite games but it has critical immunity. Any flaw with the game can be seen as intentional or adds to the sum in the art spectrum. I have a theory that if I read/watch/play something broken, I can better recognize the pitfalls and successes that a greater product navigated.
You're right about that. Reading a bad novel or playing a bad game, or just good but imperfect ones, gives you a good idea what went wrong and how.
If you want to be a creator this is pretty much an indispensible way of learning your craft.
Sincerity and a coherent artistic vision. It wasn't trying to be anything but what it was and it did that with flare and depth that most comics can never achieve.
shes so hot im gonna kill myself
Why the frick is there no fan art of this goddess? Drawgays need to get on it.
Warms my heart that cumbrains will never get to fully appreciate the comic.

I hate that feeling, but at the same time I'm glad I bothered to check something out and the fact that it didnt get raped like so many ips today
That's good you idiot. That's how everything should be. You read the thing once, enjoy it, then never think about it again in your life.
That just makes it seasonal slop, and a not a good work.
That's fricking moronic. How dare you try and present your idiocy as being a good thing.
It’s better that way. No shitty reboots or retcons and no moronic fandoms, especially ones with underage lesbians.
Did everyone collectively forget this?
What happened to his art?
I remember.
I remember far too much

>so good
Was it?
yeah
>1996
did the general public like thick ass women yet or was this show just ahead of its time?
Sam Kieth likes his women on the chunky side.
he sure fricking does
>chunky
she is not chubby or fat you moron zoomers, she's obviously in shape with just a little more curvy
No shit she isn't chubby, that's why I said chunky you knee-jerk reactionary.

I'm glad we live in an enlightened and thiccer age. 80s music and fashion is better, but I like my women to have some cushion.

I remember liberals mysteriously moving from "Starving kids in Africa" to "Body positivity".
Puppets.

The Maxx deals with rape far better than any Moore story. It was refreshing to see a story that dealt with the subject without going full misandrist
The Maxx centers on rape, while in Moore comics, rape is a fact of life. Huge difference, and I'd rather read a Moore comic.
>The Maxx centers on rape
Is it explicit?
In the Mr Gone backstory issue it sure was
It has the most sympathetic depiction of a male rape victim in the most bizarre way possible
You're a moron.
William Messnr-Loebs. Not that you fricks know who that is, because you fricking memoryholed him.
>look him up
>gofund me for illness and eviction.
yeesh
He lived up to the characters lore
>two left feet
The angst
>two left feet
Cartoon > Comic
Nah.
MTV is the only reason people know about this, dude
She ain't no dancer.
Mega?
the characters felt fantastic but also very real at the same time
also a one of a kind art style

It should have tried. Maybe then it would have been good.
it was awesome.
way slower pace and more introspective and creative or imaginary
I don’t know I haven’t seen it since I can’t find a good copy of it
