FIVE.
HUNDRED.
COMICS.
Three years, nine months, and eleven days ago, I posted the very first “Terraria Sprite Comic” strip on the TOnline forums. Five months later, legendofmaxx.com was born, and Maxx’s adventure began for real. We’ve all been through a lot since then, and the comic has grown from a silly little pass-time to something rather remarkable. I don’t claim to create the greatest, deepest, or most masterfully made comics on the Internet, but I do feel rather proud to say that I’ve made 500 of them. As always, I couldn’t have done it without your support– from the fans who found the site just yesterday to ones who’ve been there since the very beginning. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Maxx & Co. Where will their adventure lead from here? Only time will tell.
-Jesse
Congrats Jesse on 500 quality comics! This is my favorite comic strip! Keep up the good work! 😀
FIVE…. FOUR…. THREE…. TWO…. ONE……
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ok
SO! JESSE! am i gonnan come and attack them on the boat? ive been waiiiiiiiting for AGES! plez?
If anyone attacks then, it’ll be me!! >:)
Sorry, but I think Xylan is taken. So are all the other Naiad…
If you want I can give you suggestions to who you could be!
Yh sry dude
You could be Maple. I was saving the slot for my friend, but he doesn’t seem interested.
Y’know, along time ago, during Jesse’s lengthy period of gallivanting, I had this strange dream in which a bunch of people were dressed as fictional characters, and then gained the powers of them. There were also a few parts of the dream in which there were actual fictional characters doing there normal stuff, away from all the people dressed up. Two of them were Maxx and Cyril. They were on a small rowing boat, out in the ocean, at night. Maxx was mostly sleeping and Cyril was having to row. Every so often, Xane would attack them, and they’d be badly injured, but never killed, and recover before his next attack. I’m just saying, what you said reminded me of that. Also, clone Xylan, TOO LATE TO BE MAPLE!
Who thinks that they will end up in the crimson somehow?
I do. I said it first. Check between 490 and 500. It’s somewhere there.
How sad, I was once again excluded from this landmark… Flowers get no rights…
@Flower
NOOOO! JESSE YOU NEED TO REMAKE THE COMIC
you’re inside Cyril’s digestive system, you’ll be there the entire trip.
YES! FINALLY!
P.S: Zoom in on the boat in the last panel. The hole is still there and June, Doctor von Vimplegurger/Gus, Sophia, Aley, Hannah and Cyril are just STANDING THERE!?! (Maxx is at least jumping…
P.P.S: Well done Jesse! Now, to 1000 comics! And the Eastern Desert!
Maxx isn’t jumping… that would be just like him to jump at this time
The patch on the hole got blown off.
I believe Panel 7 is he first head-on view of Maxx.
I can’t hold it back, ah, ah, ALLAHU AKBAR, and they all crash, the butt explodes, everyone dies, the end
+1
+300 exp. Level up!
ALOHA SNACKBAR
noooooooooo
oh btw MOON LORD I’M CALLING U TO DESTROY CYRIL THE STUPID MAGE!!!
What happend to your phone from the angel?
@BunnyFromTheFirstComic, now it is your turn to be paralized from the excitement of the moment
Who went all the back to the beginning and saw how much this comic has grown?
Really amazing isn’t it! Thank for entertaining us for almost 4 years Jesse! I love this comic and your 500th comic was great!
its going to fly, im callin it
OOOHHH MYYY GOOOOOOD
the ice cream is going to melt
Wow. 500 already? The nostalga from the first humble comics… (The mighty heart-poon?)
P.S. tyronethearmsdealer, why don’t you just waltz in, so u don’t die everytime you introduce yourself. just come in and say, hey my name is tyrone, and I will sell you guns. thall win maxx over.
WOOHOO FOR 500
This is the most awesome ship I have EVER SEEN. Great work, Jesse c:
*hellboat
It’s actually June the Destroyer. Didn’t you read the comic?
Yes, but I still think the class of ship is hellboat, and it wouldn’t make sense to say “This is the most awesome June the Destroyer I have EVER SEEN. (You normally won’t see multiple hellboats with the same name)
Celebrate!
OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ
Truly, only a true artist could do something this magnificent. Jesse, I’m so happy with what you do for us.
Booyahbooyah!!!!!!!500comixwooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Best comic yet xD bravo my sir bravo!!!
Wasn’t it 499 1/2?
U say it was us who supported you but do u realize, of all the people whove read and IMMENSELY loved your comic, you have fought back against the deadliest of all things and now you are 500 comic stronger because of it. You stood up to the one thing that plagued the days of waiting for the next terraria update. If your reading this and dont know what the mighty warrior Jesse battles against with every comic….. let me tell you tis boredom that he has fought
3 hurrahs for the mighy warrior Jesse
HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH
Thanks so much! I aim to entertain.
+++++1
*Hands Jesse full Solar armour and wings* I brought a present to congratulate you on 500 comics!
Lol the ocelot, still asleep…
Jesse I can’t thank you enough for these comics, I’ve read them for what seems like a very long time now. I couldn’t wait for this one and now I can’t wait for the next ones. Here’s to millions of comics- or at least a thousand! YARRR
12th! Sorry, it’s as close as I’ll ever get to first!
Look at Juney, getting on a boat. Whenever I took her fishing she filled the boat up with dirt.
Congratz on 500 comics.
Let’s set the hype train for 1000.
Congrats too 500 comics! Somehow you manage to mix humor, stupidity, love (for a few comics anyway), original pixel art, and general quality into one comic strip. Here’s to another 500!
Thank you!
This will forever be my favourite comic. Congratulations, Jesse.
I have been here since page 243, and I belive that this comic wont end. Ever.
Congrats on comic 500! I would give 500 claps, but I dont have the time. I’ll just give one to boost to 1000!
Here we go!
And here comes a tidal wave created by the boat
Congraturations, Jesse!
Well thare wus some partying I wanted
What if they miss the eastern continent completely?
Well mr maxx in a 2d world I don’t really think to can miss something that your sailing to…is it sailing if there’s no sail…
And Tyrones just like “where the crap did they go? Meh, at least I didnt die. Again.”
Only to immediately be crushed to death by a slime.
A bunny slime aka me cus gunpowder is tastey
Yes, but they are going so fast they might accidentally go into space. Moonlord territory.
Correction, they might go BACK TO THE FUTURE!!! Even though they aren’t from the future.
They’re definitely going faster than 88 mph.
layered 2d
500 Yeah!
Great job! I’m 100% honest when I say that this is the best online comic I’ve ever read or heard of! I can’t believe there’s now 500 comics, and more to come! Keep up the good work! (Too many exclamation points, but that’s how I feel about it!)
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Only time travel will tell the present.
I’ve been reading these comics since they began in the terraria forums. It’s incredible to see how far you’ve come! Half a thousand comics!
If I had to say one bad thing about this amazing series of comics, it would be that you should add more contrast to the sprites you create. Also, darker outlines. But other then that “WOOO 500 AMAZING LEGEND OF MAXX COMICS!” *OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ!*
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I READ THIS ITS O SOME!
WOOOOOOOOO!! 500!!!
How was Hannah holding on to Cyril’s cloak and keeping him horizontal?
Centrifugal force. She was probably swinging him around then threw him on the boat
Tree.
Oh, but still, holding on to a cloak isn’t a good idea
Those pyjamas were made by maxx so they aren’t going to break any time soon
TO THE HORIZON! LET US NOT GO WHERE THE WINDS TAKE US, BUT MAKE THE WINDS GO WHERE WE COMMAND!
500!! 500!! 500!!
but the boat doesn’t have a sail
Hey, are the comics gonna have titles now? Because that would be amazing.
and I’m pretty sure shooting the gattling gun AT the deck isnt a good idea
FIRE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
What an amazing 500th comic! Naiad might be amazing sailors with powerful water magic, but one look at this thing and they’d be soiling their pretentious black cloaks.
Looking forward to 500 more! 😀
AANNNNNNNNNND
Que the explosion. [Either boat explodes epicly (and they all miraculously survive) in the next comic, or they all slow down at the eastern continent]
CONGRATS ON 500 COMICS!!!!!! 😀
I thought Cyril wasn’t going with them but i’m not complaining. I like Aley’s new expressions a lot, can’t wait for the next one 🙂
All I have to say is, “Wow.”
agreed
Jonas?
Y-
FIRE EVERYTHING!

Some sailing/adventure music to fit the mood.
can they meet the merchant and the demolitionist? plz do
They already have a long time ago!
Awesooooommmmmme
Hey Jesse when is the ship going to go faster than the speed of light?
I laughed. Hard.
“The deuterium generator is, in the face of all probability, generating deuterium.”
I don’t know if that one was intended to be funny, but I smilen nonetheless.
umg 500 comics.
Btw I’m pretty sure the Merchant and the Demolitionist-in-a-barrel are on the eastern continent 😉
Agreed.
The legend of maxx, somehow challenged by theGaMErcAT by ‘best internet videogame ‘

(REMEMBERS I’M STILL TALKING LIKE THIS)
(CONGRATULATES JESSE ON 500 COMICS)
(ATTEMPTS TO MAKE EVERYONE TALK LIKE THIS AGAIN)
(WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
(THAT WON’T HAPPEN)
(GOODBYE)
(ANNOYED GRUNT)
(MAKES SOUND OF DISAPPOINTMENT)
(REALISES GRAVATAR HASN’T SHOWN UP)
(HOPES THERE ISN’T ALREADY A MAPLE)
(HOPES THAT NO-ONE GETS THEIR GRAVATAR TO SHOW UP FIRST SO I LOOK LIKE THE FAKE)
(Realizes that lobster cheese isn’t a food)
(Dies)
Oh yeah
I think the Ocelot woke up.
Also, I like how Sophia is holding Gus’ hand. It’s adorable.
B.O.B.F. indeed.
Congratulations Jesse! You’ve hit your first milestone! Now to go for the 1000 comics.
Big things can happen from the least unexpected sources. Starting with a simple Sprite comic and ending up with this… Is truly amazing. You earned a big congratulations for that, Jesse. Keep up the good work, I’m sure you’ll reach 2000 comics!
And idk why, but you kinda remember me of Jesse from MCSM…
Comic 600 here we go!
Congrats Jesse!
I love it! The ice cream in panel 6 looks tasty! I love Aley’s poor hull repair and nervous laughter. The party switch was very funny (I want one!). The panels that showed the engines and guns firing added a palpable sense of motion! And the final panel is majestic. At that speed, I don’t think there’s enough time for anything to go wrong before they get to the eastern continent!
Amazing work, Jesse! This comic has truly turned into something special. Thank you for making it! Good luck on the next X00 comics!
Wait a minute… a non-number title? On a normal comic? I think that’s a first. (Normal comic doesn’t count Halloween specials, adverts, etc.) Is this going to be a regular think, or just for major milestones?
With how its propulsion system works, the boat looks more like a freaking rocket.
I’ve been here since they started building the boat. AKA: not that long. But I read EVERY SINGLE COMIC in 2 nights when I started reading. You have done a great job Jesse.
same here, i started on the one with maxx cutting the wood and talking to cyril about just wanting to have fun but then was dragged into this
The gun is shutting the ocelot
I wonder, do you make much money? and after 500 comics with thousands and thousands of views; it really is amazing.
Millions*
Well, I’ll be honest: I do have millions of views over the years, but the amount of money I make is basically nothing. It’s enough to cover the site with a little left over every month.
Hi.
Well at least you can keep up the site, and the good work!
Also, I support the idea of a patreon whole-heartedly
Me too!
Jesse! DOOD that is cool!!
if you look at the ooontz oontz ooontz comic strips, the one right after that, the switch which sophia uses to turn the speakers on and off disappears. ERROR 404 WORST ERROR EVER
“FIRE EVERYTHING” -Juniper, 2015
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!! 500 COMICS WOOP WOOP WOOP!!!!!!!!!!
Well, besides that, when does the Travelling Merchant come in?
Oh gosh, zat boat’s provulsion system.
At what point does the propeller snap off due to the amount of drag?
What you bet it wrecks, and I swoop in and save June? She’ll be like “Oh Xylan Thank you! Why did I ever leave you!” mission accomplished
Uhhhh…
An ex doesn’t work like that, especially when you’re fighting for the opposite of what you ex is fighting for.
And this is why Aley is my favorite character
Don’t thank us. It is us who should be thanking you for making these beautiful, funny, and original comics. So thank you!
Congratulations on 500 comics, and a best wishes for many more to come!
On the comic: Out of all the things Maxx has created—the Hammush, the Heart-Poon, even Skeledeath—June the Destroyer is the best and most beautiful(ly horrifying).
Thanks Logic. NOW FIRE EVERYTHING!!!!
NOW.
Aley is the best character. Ever. EVER.
true dat!
omg this series is the best
Y u no patreon? I bought your book, but paypal’s inefficient for micro-transactions for day to day comics.
Best. Day. EVAH!
OMG 500!!!!!
I’m confused on how everyone didn’t fall off the ship when we went full speed ahead.
next stop?
EVERYWHERE!!!
https://youtu.be/Yw8fEApMEmE?t=6m8s
Because if you’re going to be riding a hellboat anywhere, you may as well do it at hilariously unsafe speeds.
OOOOH crearon ese bote para luchar contra moon lord?
Congratulations Jesse! I can’t say that I’ve kept up with a lot of webcomics, but this one is definitely one of the best I’ve read! I can’t wait to see what awaits them on the eastern continent (something tells me it won’t take long for them to get there).
I’m pretty sure June is in the line of fire.
..or, at least her hat.
I would love to say that CYRIL is my favorite character
New side quest unlocked!
The search for the mystic blade! (Enchanted Sword)
So the crew runs into a Swordswoman, with a blade of steel, looking for the enchanted sword
Btw, has anyone here had gravatar image problems and know how to fix them?
Please bring back the flower.
You should know there’s a flower by now because of how much he’s complained about this.
Two of them will end up almost performing the end of “Titanic” as a play. Cyril and Hannah..? They already did the pose… Or Sophia and Gus?
I Can’t Believe That Worked ™
…and all the fishes were killed.
Reminds me of the rocket boat scene from 8-bit theater
Gotta say I wasn’t sure the comic would really come back after that trip thing, Jesse, but I sure am very glad it did, ’cause it’s awesome. Keep up the great job, mate, and onwards to 1000!
WOO 500!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
500 hundred comics later, Maxx and friends achieve the speed of light.
500 comics! This has been an amazing journey so far and I’m so glad you’re continuing it! Keep up the awesome work!
June’s face in panel 14!😅
Don’t let them get away! Xane is on his way…
*cheering noises*
Firing everything is always fun. Nothing stands in your way! Ever!
