Zero 03-10-2008 04:31 PM

Loved the comics. Didn't even know there was an animated show until now ! Moved before it started airing. :(


Which reminds me... I miss Aeon Flux. Ah the good ole days of Mtv...

Zero 03-10-2008 04:38 PM

i never really got into aeon flux - almost saw the live action film (just to see charlize in skmpy outfits)

jenna26 03-10-2008 04:44 PM

I don't think I ever watched The Maxx, unless I have just forgotten about it, but I did like Aeon Flux

bloody_ribcut 03-10-2008 04:49 PM

the maxx kicked ass. . .

Zero 03-10-2008 04:50 PM

my favorite was when the MAXX guy would start ranting and then would look up at all the shocked faces around him and say "did i say that out loud?" - i still say that even though no one has any idea what i'm referencing

bloody_ribcut 03-10-2008 04:59 PM

i remember that kind of, that was a long time ago...yeah, he would always talk to himself........can you imagine the studios pulling off a purple creature for a feature film?..that shit would be weird.

Need I say more?

I loved the comic, never knew there was a tv show.

The Maxx was fantastic. I would love to own it on DVD, but preliminary research only turned up old VHS copies of it.

As for the comics, I was able to get my hands on the first 5 or 6. I would like to possess the rest of the series, but they're a little hard to find and the paperback book collections are more than I'd like to pay right now. :(

Any suggestions on where to find any of the above outside of ebay? How big is The Maxx comic collection, anyway? How many comics total? I'd do the research now, but my head is killing me...

Aeon Flux is something else I'd like to own eventually as well.

Does anyone remember The Head? That was an odd little animated series.

MTV hurts my mind

The later seasons of Beavis and Butthead kills however....

Be keen to see the animated shit of the Hate comics that was meant to happen.

Papillon Noir 03-11-2008 06:00 AM

I used to watch this show too. It was weird, but i think that's why i liked it. I used to watch it along with Aeon Flux. Thankfully all the Aeon episodes are on DVD now. When are they going to put the Maxx on DVD?

MTV really does suck now. I don't think it's been the same since the 90's ended.

bloody_ribcut 03-11-2008 06:05 AM

imo..ever since they started doing that real world shit i can remember it sucking.......

Zero 03-12-2008 05:30 PM

they should have made a cartoon of concrete - i loved that comic

The STE 03-13-2008 12:01 AM

Mr. Gone = one of my favorite cartoon villains. Also, a really cool name. Mr. Gone. Gone. It both sounds and reads really cool as a character name. Mark my words, I'm going to write a character with the name Gone in some fashion.

Zero 03-13-2008 01:40 AM

mr. gone, jr.

bloody_ribcut 03-13-2008 02:48 AM

Savage Dragon?

Wasn't that a stupid cartoon at one point? I didn't even know it was based off a comic book...

I mean the cartoon was stupid, at least from what I remember which isn't much. :)

"In 1995, the Savage Dragon appeared in an eponymous half-hour animated television show as part of the Cartoon Express on the USA Network. It ran for 26 episodes from 1995 to 1996, and featured numerous supporting characters from the comic book series, including She-Dragon, Horde, Barbaric, Mako and Overlord. The Dragon was voiced by Jim Cummings. Additional voices were provided by Mark Hamill, Michael Dorn, Rene Auberjonois, Frank Welker, Dawnn Lewis, Paul Eiding, Peter Cullen, Robert Ito, and Tony Jay. It however appealed to a much younger audience than the comic it was taken from."
