Maximum Super Excitement #2 (with Maxine Frank)
It occurred to me after reading this that I have no idea of the average age of the reader of this website. I have a general idea of the number per day, but is there any way to tell age? Anyway, I mention that because, as you can tell from the cover, this book is for adults. Trust me kids, if you’re just looking for naked people you grew up with the internets; it’s not difficult. Robin and Maxine have a simple formula: they sit together in a coffee shop, draw a panel and then pass the page to the other artist. Considering that method, this is a remarkably coherent story. This is the tale of a woman who has apparently left an island of librarians. She returns with her slave (pictured on the cover) after the whole of humanity has died out after a disgusting plague that results in maggots bursting from various parts of the body. Like I said, if it’s nudity you’re looking for, you can probably get it without maggots. Lumpino (the returning librarian) has come back for revenge, and it turns out that her slave (who enjoys raping) is infected, so he sets to work on the leader of the group and her slave. From there it’s just sheer mayhem as the rest of the librarians come out, there’s a serious gunfight and brawl, and everybody lives happily ever after. OK, maybe not that last part. It’s a funny story, there’s gore and sex (often combined), and even though this was mostly done in a coffee shop the art looks great. If you’re squeamish you may want to move onto lighter fare, but if you have a good sense of humor and are up for anything, this comic is a blast. Hey, if you can’t figure out from that cover whether or not this is for you, I can’t help you… $4
