posies23's review against another edition

I just re-read this for the third (?) time. I love the way Veitch combines underground comic sensibilities, meditations on the nature of creativity, superheroes, and b-movie horror movie tropes into something uniquely his own. I don't have much to add that other reviewers haven't already talked about, but people looking for something completely different that the usual comics mainstream would do well to check out Veitch's work, and MAXIMORTAL is a great place to start.

Veitch has some interesting ideas, but his prose is a bit stiff for me and he's incomprehensible quite often.

Rick Veitch nos ofrece una laberíntica historia nietzscheneana sobre la creación del Superhéroe, el nacionalismo y la industria del cómic, donde el nihilismo, el "eterno retorno" y, por supuesto, el "Superhombre" ocupan un papel protagonista. Atrapa, confunde y finalmente deja una escalofriante sensación de vacío existencial... Lo recomendaría una y mil veces.

An extremely bizarre story blending the history of the Superman character with a psychedelic religion and a mad, often juvenile but always passionate philosophy. Quite well written, if extreme in every possible way.
