 Wilhelm Busch, Max and Moritz, and Comics
In 1865, one of the great comic works about two of the baddest boys in the history of childhood, Max and Moritz, first appeared in Munich, Germany.
Even at the time, the sadistic pranks (and their comeuppance) of Busch's kids were seen as controversial -- it stood the idea of the child as essentially innocent on its head and tweaked its nose.
And yet many people also found these adventures hilarious, despite their political incorrectness, and Max and Moritz have served as the proto-types for practically every wild child from the Katzenjammer Kids to Dennis the Menace.

The main characters are not drawn as dream men out of an erotic comic, and their looking like any other (admittedly cute) guy enhances the believability of the story, as well as the feeling we might meet them in our daily life.
Max and Sven's friendship, which survives Max telling Sven of his feelings for him and Max's consequent discovery that those feelings are not mutual, is also very important.
Sven, Max and Max's lover are present in those strips, which Bouden drew between 1994 and 2001.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | Was Hitler human?
The film, "Max," breaks with cinematic precedent by depicting the young Hitler as an emotionally poisoned man, but nonetheless human, and even sympathetic in his longing for recognition as a struggling and impoverished artist in the postwar Munich of 1918.
"Max" traces the transformation of Hitler (played by Australian actor Noah Taylor) from a scruffy war veteran and frustrated painter to a rising propagandist for German nationalism and anti-Semitism.
On the eve of "Max's" Toronto premiere, Cusack, Meyjes and Hamori sat down with Salon in a nondescript Italian restaurant in Santa Monica to defend the film against its preemptive critics.

“Swedish artist’s Max Andersson’s Death and Candy is an inky fl universe where the grotesque and the humorous intersect amidst urban and organic decay.
Andersson is best known for his Pixy and Zero Zero stories, drawn in the same deceptively simple style as Death and Candy – ‘deceptive’ as it is the ideal vehicle for his twisted fairy tales.

As a consequence, MAX is less an imprint than a gimmick-explicit superhero comics unbound by established continuity-and, Marvel's porous and nebulous internal content standards aside, is essentially just the Ultimate line with different packaging.
I suppose MAX might hold on until Miracleman/Marvelman get straightened out, but extreme superheroes seem to be the only reason for the line existing.
MAX is Marvel's Mature Readers line with a nice big explict logo to warm its Mature Readers that's all.

 Max Comics
Max Nuclear's love for color and cartoons bloomed early in the first grade with inspiration from a classmate that could draw 'fast as lightning', and his comics have been his companion ever since.
Influences such as Mad magazine cartoonist Don Martin and underground illustrator Vaughn Bodé lead him away from the 'milk and cookies' type cartoons that were popular fare in the newspapers of the time.
But whether he's doing a one-panel joke, a cartoon series, or a full-blown graphic novel, it is always an entertaining and very different look through Max Nuclear's eyes.

Pick of the Week changes every week with a different random show, but their emphasis will be on totally new specials (the first one is a kids' candid camera show with Paul "Hasn't Worked In 6 Years" Rodriguez).
I also received a rumor that one reason Sam & Max doesn't get more promotion from FOX is that, as far as animated series go, it's fairly expensive, and they'd rather promote something much cheaper, like Space Goofs (which they apparently didn't have to pay much for).
Max says this about the page: "Gee, Sam, if only we could get sizzling weasel balls on a stick, too!" I guess that means he likes it.

 Newszine | Entertainment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Fortunately, Marvel Comics, the distributors and retailers are equally anxious about directing these books to adults -- nobody wants a lawsuit -- and should have at least as much success as other entertainment media do in keeping all-ages material where kids can find it, and over-18 material where adults can find it.
But MAX kicks open the possibility of comics with depth and realism for adults -- which is almost a necessity.
If comic books remain chained to the limited appeal and profitability of the "children's ghetto," then we might NOT have Casper the Friendly Ghost for the next generation.

Former Sen. Max Cleland blasts Bush's "Nixonian" stonewalling of the 9/11 commission, his "lies" about Iraq, and his flight-suit photo op on the USS Lincoln after "hiding out" during Vietnam.
During his six years as a United States senator from the conservative state of Georgia, Max Cleland was known as a moderate Democrat.
He drew the wrath of liberals in 2001 when he broke ranks with Democrats and voted for President Bush's tax cuts, and last year he backed the resolution authorizing Bush to wage war with Iraq (though on that vote, at least, he was joined by some liberals).

Sam, a trenchcoat-clad hound, and Max, described as a "small rabbity thing," the anthropomorphic heroes of the cult comic book collected in this volume, are a far cry from the benignly humorous critters of traditional funny animal comics.
But their nearly plotless adventures are basically just setups for letting the trigger-happy pair commit senseless but hilarious havoc that both parodies the violence pervading contemporary pop culture and updates and escalates the entertaining catharsis of classic animated cartoon mayhem.
Sam and Max are probably less known in their comics incarnation than as stars of a popular video game.
