The Maxx on MTV

MTV.com just started upping the old Maxx cartoons from the 90’s. I had the comics when they first came out, they were good, but for some reason I remember watching these and being really confused about the story. Anyway, they are back, thank MTV for not upping The Real World instead.

From MTV.com

In the murky alleyways of New York City, homeless Maxx huddles in his box and dreams of crushing evil villains. But when he bursts into the colorful netherworld of the Outback, the Maxx is a hero, in full purple splendor. His friend Julie, a freelance social worker, thinks the Maxx’s alternate universe is just an escape from the harsh reality of New York – not realizing that she, too, roams the Outback as the Jungle Queen.

Based on comic book series created by Sam Kieth, The Maxx was adapted into an animated series that aired as part of MTV’s Oddities in 1995. On MTV, the episodes drew from Kieth’s Image Comics publication of The Maxx #1/2 and #1-11, while the comic book series encapsulates a total 35 issues and counting.
