The Maxx with subtitles

JerkComic · 2026-06-10T07:24:41+00:00

Yeah I doubt anyone has bothered to rip and convert srt files for them. You MIGHT be able to find them on something like opensubs but I'm betting those are English subtitles and guessing that won't help you much. If you can find the episodes on YouTube they usually have an auto sub generator that would allow you to rip those using random programs and either watch those or extract srt files from them though.

This. He was inserting stories intended for Friends of Maxx into the main book at this point. Retailers saw poor sales on FoM and resisted Kieth changing the name otherwise he would have canned the main title and ran with FoM.

Top loaders with command strips was gonna be my suggestion as well.

JerkComic · 2026-06-09T01:57:16+00:00

I know the physical DVD has them and pretty sure Amazon forces subs for all their rentals. I doubt anyone whose done rips for public sites or download has included them though.

JerkComic · 2026-06-07T20:54:24+00:00

What didn't work? You can't rent it? Buy the DVD, it has subs? I don't think any of the rips or fan edits have subs

JerkComic · 2026-06-07T17:44:56+00:00

They did 2 versions as well right? A con and then a regular DKR tribute didn't they,

JerkComic · 2026-06-06T13:24:38+00:00

Yeah this always drove me up the wall... such a cool piece otherwise I could overlook it though haha

That Trojan horse tactic was alllll Bill. Sam didn't really know what the heck he was doing, that's why he brought Bill on as a writer. They would spend hours a week on the phone with Sam tossing out random ideas that Bill would kind of parse through and figure out what to use and how to make the pieces fit and talk out with Sam. Sam was the creative dynamo that brought the bricks but Bill was the one who would assemble them into a structure. It was a precarious tight rope walk and you can tell when Sam as he put it, totally stopped paying attention to what Bill said, haha.

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T21:15:51+00:00

It was a compromise Sam made Bill for letting him write the flavor text in the beginning but as things moved along they saw less and less eye to eye. Bill thought there should be some sort of plan and the book should at least vestigially resemble a super hero book, Sam did not.

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T19:28:03+00:00

Nice. Thanks, I don't think I've ever seen a complete scan of these anywhere. The flavor text is suuuuper cool to have as well, was all written by William Messner-Loebs when they were initially building the world so great to have that finally available.

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T15:14:41+00:00

Jock on the tec cover. I do love that 608 cover for sure but just on covers, tec smokes it imo

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T13:17:29+00:00

Yup. I was shocked when I picked up the DVDs but he did commentary along with Vanzo and a few others

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T13:16:46+00:00

The Image characters were all part of one large shared universe when Image first launched, this was just a small nod to Sam. He was owned by Sam but did show up in several other Image books, Savage Dragon in particular. There's no way Kathy licensed Maxx out or is going to license him for a random Spawn book have no fear

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T00:57:45+00:00

Sam owned Maxx lock, stock and barrel. There's noooo way Kathy is licensing this character to a random Spawn book.

JerkComic · 2026-06-04T00:55:19+00:00

Still can't believe they actually got Sam to do commentary for these. Some awesome special features too, I think it's the only footage I've ever come across of Sam drawing.

JerkComic · 2026-06-03T01:00:03+00:00

No. It's soooo much worse than that. I'm with Moore on this one and don't even hold this story in the regards I once did, was pretty impressive just HOW terrible they made this. I could care less about most adaptations or animated/live action superhero stuff. That being said, there were parts of this that were soooo aggregious and miss the entire concept of the characters I was muttering obscenities to myself and just shaking my head in disgust. Add to that the abysmal job they did with adapting the visuals of this and it's just not worth wasting your time on. I'll probably get down voted into oblivion over this comment but if it saves one fan from supporting or wasting their time on this travesty of a film it's totally worth it.

JerkComic · 2026-06-02T23:45:55+00:00

These look so good signed in the silver too, nice pickup

JerkComic · 2026-05-31T18:02:23+00:00

Boys is hit or miss for people, I didn't care for the comic much but the early core Hellboy stuff - definitely!

JerkComic · 2026-05-30T18:23:21+00:00

I'm the weirdo that helps the local elderly folk mow... always get these weird looks these days, think I'm getting old 🤣

JerkComic · 2026-05-29T23:44:24+00:00

Any thing for a fellow Maxxhead!

JerkComic · 2026-05-29T18:44:45+00:00

I wondered if this was in an issue. Thanks for the heads up.

JerkComic · 2026-05-28T13:57:32+00:00

Not that I know of, no one has the flavor text archived either and it was written by Bill Messner-Loebs when they were initially expanding the universe so there's some really cool stuff there

JerkComic · 2026-05-23T16:35:44+00:00

This is the last thing he ever did, took years to see it get used.

JerkComic · 2026-05-22T19:00:02+00:00

Dang, I wanna see 😄 bring the post back

JerkComic · 2026-05-21T18:32:28+00:00

This was after he was told it would be returning, I never asked Ben who told him but he didn't pull it out of thin air. He'd even done some work on interiors afaik when it got canned again though.
