I'm Max. I read comics. It's kind of my thing.
Funky Fresh Fridays is (are?) BACK! Think of it as Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, but with new comics, on Fridays, and here on my blog! And also with far less break-dancing (on average). As it was, not so long ago, FFF posts will cover new comics that I’ve picked up recently. These will usually be […]

It will likely not go back to coming out on every Monday, but it will be published here on Mondays because: I do not want to change the name of the feature Pointless running jokes (or “Idioms of Idiocy”) are a hallmark of Groo As for why […]

Why that particular decade? Well, I pretty much learned […]
Read More Who’s who? Xum’s Who, that’s who!Hello, and welcome (?) back to the almost never published annals of Max Reads Comics! I would promise to post more often, but 1) I probably won’t and 2) I’m sure no one cares.
