The Maxx

[BYOBKenobi]

Anyone ever watch The Maxx on MTV's Oddities?  I downloaded every show today and am getting reaquainted as we speak.

I loved that shit did it have an ending or was it cancelled first. Did the comic book end either I tried to get all of them but failed.

[BYOBKenobi]

<p>I don't think it ever went beyond the 13 episodes that were on TV, but the wikipedia site says the show started midway through the story and the comic goes much further.</p><p>In fact, they say that the show relies heavily on scanned images from the comic... and watching them again, I realize that is true.&nbsp; It's basically animated scans.</p><p>I will get the comics one way or the other.&nbsp; I need to know how this ends.</p>

as expected, the comic was infinitely better

Sam Keith is wonderful i love his art style the batman he did a few months ago was just so awesome looking<br />

[lleeder]

Does he have his own book hes on now?

<p>The cartoon runs for about the first 10 issues of the comic and does have an ending, but the comic wasn't even near the end when it happened.&nbsp; The story of the Maxx in the cartoon goes to issue 20 and then there's another 10 or so issues about the little girl who's grown up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There were tradepaperbacks released in 2005-6 of the entire series.&nbsp; I think they released it as 4 books.&nbsp;</p>

[BYOBKenobi]

Is that something that is available for purchase?

<p>It's easy to get the whole series if you'd like to rewatch it.&nbsp; I found it on isohunt and it took about a half hour to download it.</p>

i loved the MAXX.&nbsp; last summer when i was looking into a new tattoo i was thinking about the cover to #1 for my left bicep.&nbsp; Sam Keith's art work was/is great.&nbsp; i love his batman work, also.&nbsp; Where did you download the show from?&nbsp;

[BYOBKenobi]

<p><a href="http://pages.prodigy.net/maxx006/image.htm">http://pages.prodigy.net/maxx006/image.htm</a></p><p>I found that link which has summaries of each comic.&nbsp; That might help if you want to know what happened.</p><p>I got it from <a href="http://www.isohunt.com/">www.isohunt.com</a> and did a search for &quot;the Maxx&quot;</p>

[BYOBKenobi]

<p>I just sat and watched every single episode and sure, there's an ending, but it's so not satisfying.&nbsp; I mean, Julie leaves, max takes off his mask and purple suit and walks off to a greenhouse in &quot;his own outback&quot; </p><p>I guess that's a bit of closure, but it does seem like there's got to be more.&nbsp; I am going to try to track down a copy of the books.&nbsp; I think there are 6 of them.&nbsp; Shouldn't be all that hard to find with the help of the internets.</p>

I loved The Maxx and pretty much all of the MTV Oddities cartoons, especially Aeon Flux.

I was going to clarify that this wasn't saved by the bell in the title, but I wanted to see what would happen if I just called it what I did.&nbsp; I'm shocked it took this long to go saved by the bell
