Max Lord Explained 1
The focus finally narrows in on Maxwell Lord in a story that does an excellent job of exploring who he is and why he now does the things he does. It gives the answers to how the man readers knew from JLI could become the man who murdered Ted Kord in the OMAC Project and chillingly does so as he stands over the body of another Blue Beetle in the present.

Before this title Max Lord was one of those one and done villains who I felt had so much potential if written properly. I was very intrigued when I saw him amongst the resurrected at the end of Blackest Night. Judd Winick has done a superb job of taking this C list DC villain and making him a truly ...

Portrait of a man and a mission. 0
Issue #20 of Justice League: Generation Lost. The Story: After Max shot Jaime he decompresses the chamber the JLI is in and send them out of the Checkmate ship.And at the same time we get flashbacks to Max Lord's past and how he became the man he is today. The Good: My lord the way that Judd Winick delved into Max Lord and give him a very fleshed out backstory that makes him an extremely tragic character was just brilliant.From the point of him being a teenager raised by a good father that fou...
