Kieth’s return to The Maxx for brand-new stories would be shocking, considering the creator has previously indicated he’s told all the stories he’s wanted to tell featuring the character. Regardless, it seems there’s new material on the way, which should delight fans of the original ’90s indie comic.
Created by William Messner-Loebs (The Flash) and Sam Kieth (Sandman), The Maxx ran for 35 issues from 1993-1998, and spawned an acclaimed MTV animated series that was heavily drawn from the source material, involving Kieth’s collaboration and art in a major way. The remastered issues of The Maxx, branded as The Maxx: Maxximized, are currently available as hardcovers from IDW Publishing. The Is currently no release date set fot The Maxx Returns.
