Peter & Max by Bill Willingham
3.0
Peter Piper and his brother Max are the ultimate case of sibling rivalry. This story takes us from the supposed beginning of the rivalry in the Homelands all the way to the final showdown in our present day.
I enjoyed the characters of Peter and Bo, but as far as villains go Max was pretty one note. Max has absolutely nothing to give him even the slightest bit of redemption and his motives are pretty simplistic, so simplistic in fact, that they seem hard to believe. Even Voldemort was given a little redemption/explanation with the exploration of his family background. Max is just an asshole. He does incredibly terrible things and at a pretty early age. Despite the seemingly all-knowing narrator we get very little insight into Max's thoughts and feelings besides insanely intense anger.
There were some really great battles but too many lulls filled with things that added nothing to the story such as. Overall, a pretty average story with few surprises but a decent tension filled plot nonetheless.
