About this title: A perplexing adventure of fantasy and reality, THE MAXX BOOK TWO tells the compelling tale of three ordinary people caught in an extraordinary maelstrom of deadly denials and lost identities.

"Ten years after the conclusion of Julie Winters's saga, Sara struggles with her relationship with her father, Artemis Pender, aka Mr. Gone. Dave, the former Maxx, is a plumber, while Sara's Maxx is a homeless guy named Norbert. Julie Winters is missing and there's a giant banana slug named Iago looking for her. Did I mention the past 20 issues might have been a dream and Mr. Gone might not be as much of a villain as we previouosly thought?
Volume 4 begins a voyage into Sara's (formerly Sarah) world and past, as well as the past of her father. Her roommate Steve thinks he's psychic. Her dad lives in a trailer park and runs a shelter for battered women.
By far the best part of this volume is the origin of Mr. Gone. Gone has a painful history of abuse which almost makes him a sympathetic character. Some poignant writing, especially for a comic book where one of the main characters is a humanoid horse in a makeshift super hero costume with a patchwork quilt for a cape."
"Sam Kieth creates such a twisted, darkened vision of the world we live in, yet it is wholly accurate. Injecting The Maxx with equal degrees of realism and fantasy, the story comes to life magnificently. The fragmented, fragile states of the characters is mirrored in the fluctuating artistic mediums used throughout the comics, to create an entirely magical hallucinatory trip for the reader.
As far as storyline, Kieth tugs at heartstrings, bringing the reader to a place not dissimilar to that of Julia Winters or Maxx, or even Sarah. Through the occurrences and lessons the characters must undergo in the book, Kieth does nothing short of forcing the reader to ruminate over his or her own life and hurts. It really brought me to a point of tears multiple times throughout. It's just a beautiful narrative, and the art only works to boost that quality."
"I really have no idea what's going on with this one ------ issue 21 starts ten years after issue 20 wrapped up the initial 'Maxx' storyline: the one with Julie and Maxx and Mr. Gone and the Outback, etc. This new storyline deals with Sara, Norbert (her own Maxx), Artie (Sara's father and maybe Mr. Gone), a giant banana slug, and exploding pink fairies.
Every time Sam Keith answers a question or reveals a secret, he twist the story back around and takes it in a different direction. It gets damn annoying, but can be a clever plot device from time to time."
