What about it stood the test of time?

A lot of the image stuff of the time has a "dated" feel when looking at it a decade-and-a-half later (the art style, the storytelling, or lack thereof, the costume design, ect). It's just kind of "of it's era". Maxx feels like it could've come out yesterday and not seem out of place. Kieth bucked the trend, put the story first,and did something really different for the image label. The book could be a little full of it's self at times with some of the outback symbolism, but I enjoyed it then and still do today.

Also, don't get me wrong: I bought a lot of the stuff of the time. I actually liked WildCATs and Spawn, and didn't hate a few other titles. But so much was done simply to "cash in" that the bad outweighs the good in the memories of a lot of the people who survived that era.

There was a lot of good. But in the early 90s, there was a whole lot of bad that went with it! I point to The Maxx as something I considered good, I won't go the route of being negative and pointing out the stuff I called bad.
