    Great Review Linkara. Man, was Image Comics misguided back then (and still somewhat today).

    I've heard a lot of people call The Maxx animated series a post-modern masterpiece, but I also tried looking it up on Wikipedia and can't make heads or tails of what it's supposed to be about.

    Also, I never thought that I would ever experience a "parody-of-a-parody" (stupid concept in and of itself) worse than "Disaster Movie" and "Meet the Spartans," but that Lobo-knockoff "Blood Wulf" (WULF??!!) proved me wrong.

    Seriously, he runs into Lobo AND Cable, Really??!! REALLY??!!

    The Maxx is filled with psychology and Jungian philosophy. You truly should watch it.

    lol, could you imagine what 90s Kid would like as a toddler?

    That would be funny.

    Not only does he run into them, he possibly blew them up along with the space station! Just how EXTREME is that!?!

    Also, kudos to Rob Liefeld for managing to give a pouch some sort of plot relevance. ^^:

    Love ur reviews linkara.
  • crystarr
    I think I jumped when I saw that, it was the first Big Finish story I ever heard. Good to see a reference, not enough people listen to them!

    Great Review too. Really, what was Cable doing there?
  • JeauxMeaux
    I started reading collecting image comics when they first came out. It was fun being on the ground floor of a new universe and not missing out on decades of character history/story.

    As time went on I found them less and less entertaining, and the designs and art styles less interesting.

    I thought I was merely growing out of comics all together. It never occurred to me image just kind of blew overall.
  • NOTYETUSEDNAME
    Hi Linkara. That review was built of WIN :cheer: I loved how even '90s Kid couldn't find Deathblow's name Awesome! I can't wait for your next review. Peace.
  • dreapster  - Nice

    Haha, Linkara=WIN. You rock as always Linkara. B)
  • Dimbo_Sama

    That was pretty cool.

    Image is a horribly missguided company although I think alot of the problem is they were trying to go up against Marvel and DC by trying to create a continuity over their comics in one decade. Where as DC and Marvel have about 70 fucking years to work off of.

    Can't wait for the next Millar Time btw. :D

    Nice one Lewis yet another great review

    I was wondering when you'd get around to this one. I never quite got over just how stupid Bloodwulf was.
  • Salen
    avatar
    Woah, it's a 90s Kid-apaloza. As for Bloodwulf's motorcycle/spaceship/gun, I was looking at that when it first showed up and was betting that it looked too much like a gun not to be coincidental. I'm not sure if I'm proud of the fact that I was right.
  • SolidSnake2017
    Ok that bloodwulf guy's looks like a mudkip, thats all that comes to mind.

    You just inspired me to make another parody character for Champions Online. XD

    The Max Was This Comic Out Before Or After The MTV Cartoon
  • zazakoolaid
    Image Comics is terrible and should just be completely closed down. Enough said.
  • xfirefly

    They do some good stuff nowadays. For example, have you read Chew?
  • lionessempress

    You should review TMNT when Image was doing it. That is really wacked.
  • Mcmadness  - Good review linkara

    DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!

    Deathblow is awesome, man! He's like Death and Blow and....EXTREME!!!!!
  • Fluffyman

    Image was truly trying to rush out this universe, without really making it coherent or make a lick of sense or be barable to read.

    I just noticed though throughout the review... your voice is kind of odd.

    I was sick when I recorded it.

    I can't... I can't get over Bloodwulf's hair. Do you suppose he has to duck in order to get through doorways?
  • mrskippy
    avatar
    This is yet another in a long line of awesome from Linkara. Although I can't help wondering where Doctor Linksano was for all of this...
    BTW, I know you're probably flooded with requests, but I was just traumatized by the Batman story "Rules of Engagement." The only upside to that comic was the fact that I had borrowed it from the library rather than buying it, so Instead of wasting time AND money, I only wasted time! Wait, what?
  • SlyDeathsHead
    I picked up the Maxx books back when I was young and stupid enough to like the typical 90s garbage and I mistook it for one of those books. I was wrong, and I still think its a great series to this day.

    The CHUNG CHUNG CHUNG sound effects are in his head, by the way.

    [Before even watching:] THANK GOD. I need something to make me LMAO.
  • STRAKER
    avatar
    lol, I actually liked the Maxx...well, the original story run anyway. After a certain point Sam Keith really seemed to loose interest in the series and it seemed that he was just continuing for the sake of the fans. I like the cartoon though and it's funny that there was even a recent action figure release XD I think I just liked the characters and the bizarreness of the whole thing.


    The other two just suck XD


    I read you were sick when you recorded this, so I hope you're feeling better. ^_^

    And Rob Liefeld takes inspiration from Games Workshop now.

    Take a look at the hair on this 'Space Wolf' and tell me that it doesnt look like 'Blood Wulf'.
