Sam Kieth’s opus The Maxx is collected here in all its freshly-colored glory. Taking remastered pages from The Maxx: Maxximized, this new volume collects the final issues of the series, #25-35. Originally published by Image Comics starting in 1993, The Maxx became a cult hit of independent comics spawning a TV show on MTV. The series follows its titular hero in the real world as a vagrant and in an alternate reality called The Outback, where he sees himself as a superhero and protector of the Jungle Queen, represented by Julie Winters, a social worker and friend. The series lasted for 35 issues and ended in 1998.

"Maxx Reynolds needs help. His shop, house, and life are all in a state of disarray. In desperation, he uses the Internet to hire a new employee, thinking it will make his life easier. What he expects is a fellow named Charly. What he gets is a quirky, sassy, redhead named Charlynn who runs circles around him. And she's all woman. He can't stand her. He can't keep his hands off her, either"--Back cover.

Sam Kieth’s best-selling Batman/Maxx: Arkham Dreams mini-series is (finally!) coming to its incredible conclusion! But not here… This bargain-priced compendium collects the first three issues of the acclaimed (and very late) Batman/Maxx mini-series by superstar creator Sam Kieth—followed by the release of issues #4 two weeks later, and #5 two weeks after that—really! And to show you how serious we are… we will present incredible added content—thumbnails of the entire two final issues of Sam Kieth art, every page! The end is coming—in a wonderful way!

With Joker back in Arkham, Maxx runs off into the night. Meanwhile, Batman grows more wary of Dr. Disparu’s experiments. In an effort to unravel the riddles of the Outback (and Disparu), Batman seeks out Julie Winters… and they both enter a dimensional hole leading to the Outback—where they encounter an alternate version of Harley Quinn! Back in the real world, Joker, Harley, and the Penguin are the current subjects of Disparu’s experiments—experiments that have a decidedly bad reaction on the Maxx!
