Maximus Wrecks by Steve Bryant should appeal to a lot of folks who swing by here.\u00a0 Take it away Steve…<\/p>\n

I have a confession: I love every aspect of 1980s post-apocalyptic fiction. From movies to comics to music videos, it\u2019s one of my absolute favorite genres. Classics like Escape from New York or Mad Max? Of course I love them. That\u2019s a no-brainer. I also love weird, cheesy epics like Slipstream, Cherry 2000, and Space Hunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone.<\/p>\n

For comics, I\u2019m a sucker for Tim Truman\u2019s Scout, and Doug Moench & Paul Gulacy\u2019s Slash Maraud\u2026and probably half a dozen other comics with that same aesthetic that I\u2019m forgetting right now.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m delighted by every cornball set piece and costume design from 80s music videos. Tom Petty\u2019s You Got Lucky? You bet. Billy Idol\u2019s Dancing with Myself? Of course. The Police video for Synchronicity? How could I not? But also Rick Springfield\u2019s Bop \u2018Til You Drop, The Warrior by Scandal, Duran Duran\u2019s Wild Boys, Screaming in the Night by Krokus, and a whole lot more goofiness.<\/p>\n

So all of that is in the DNA of Maximus Wrecks.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve wanted to dive back into webcomics for years, and this has been the project that I want to do it with.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
