This was a fascinating volume of Maxx's story to read, because, well, everything seems to get summed up nicely. Normally, this would be what you'd expect, only this is the third volume in a five-volume series, and it's a series that has used mystery and misdirection as one of the primary modes of storytelling throughout the series. While doing this, it's also managed to keep its trademark mix of Carl June, Camille Paglia, Calvin & Hobbes, and the Incredible Hulk just right. It'll be interesting to see what happens next in the series.
On top of that, this volume showcases some of the best art I've ever seen from Sam Keith. He's got one of those art styles that people tend to either love or hate, but here it blends absolutely perfectly with the story that's being told, and adds to it immeasurably. If you're a fan of his, definitely check this out if you haven't already.
