…You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you?
I like how Xane alternates between being funny and just plain frightening. Hopefully his appearance managed to surprise some you upon reading!

The Legend Of Maxx
A webcomic about friendship, exploration, stupidity and the ongoing battle against evil and also zombies
D: CYRIL NOOOOOOO!!!!
He respawns T-T
Angel be like: Sup Bro
Actually I think a more colourful conversation would occur after Remiel “killed” his wife.
Cyril gonna meet the vikings in heaven. Or at least Skelerina the vikings could go to hell. I don’t know.
@The Edge of Terra: I don’t know, didn’t the angel say at one point that the area the NPCs go to when they die is more of a “heavenly waiting room” and not heaven itself?
hey i just realized how much this guy reminds me of June… its June in disguise.
@The Doctor
Omg LOL!
@The Doctor I second this.
His wife died anyway. Remmy just brought her to the afterlife.
And he is NOTHING like june.
@Krav: Oh yeah. I do think there will be some kind of event with the vikings and/or Ina or Remiel will be a bastard and keep them separated.
Anybody else notice that the first like 30 comments are “replies?”
Oooh! I bet he sees Ina in the sky (if he is really dead)
Make cyril pull a gandalf! cyril the white!
Yeah!
That would be awesome!
Please Jessie!
DON’T DO EET
Who’s this e.e
No, Cyril the Russet Green!
YES.
SOMEBODY REMEMBERS.
YES. THIS MUST HAPPEN 😛
No way! Cyril the Blue!
This. This made my day
It would have to be Cyril the cyan. Like Gandolf the Gray.
now cyril will fight with that angel dude
also how is maxx still alive
oh right, terraria logic.
99.9% dead doesn’t mean dead. Maxx is probably around the “10% alive” range. *Same with Heather, Unsure about Aley since s/he was only thrown*
dont you mean hannah?
Close enough.
He mostly dead. (movie reference)
He got cleanly stabbed like 6 times, with a sword that killed a goblin warrior in one strike… He should at least be in a hella worse condition…
No, Jeff Pingas. Re-Logic.
I see what you did there. 😉
That giant bunny was really interesting. Shame it was so ineffective.
I like Xane, hes cpp;
cool*
Oh no Hes has been stebed
Oh noes… lol loving Xane’s face in the last panel. couldn’t stop laughing at that
Same! It was.. frightening and hilarious at the same time. I get a sort of psychotic (more so than normal, at least..) June vibe from him. If June were a dude.
Hmm… Actually… You may have a point. June could be disguising herself as a test for Maxx, AND notice Xane’s position in the last panel. Look familiar? I think either
1. June is Xane and is just being June
OR
2. June/Xane is a Zelda/Sheik type thing
OR
3. June is brainwashed.
I’ve never played Lagends of Zelda, what is a Zelda/Sheik situation?
4. maybe, Xane is a reincarnation of June!
or Xane and June are siblings!
@Benni: Sheik is Zelda’s alter ego, I believe.
(never played Zelda games but played SSBB lol)
@thegamingreaver;
No, because we already saw June’s mom and dad, both of them were dryad.
UNLESS…
It’s all a cover up! o__O
Looks like people are getting flashy thinged… *puts on a black shirt, black shoes, a black tie and black sunglasses*
Problem is we saw this Xane character before when June was still around no? or was she gone by then. or was she just leaving? I DON’T REMEMBER! nonetheless, being enemys Xane and June are suspiciously similar. I now remember that June did the exact same facial expression and action from a long while back that Xane just did in the last panel.
I’M FREAKING OUT
June and xane probably dated and thats why they act the same because their compatible or pretty much the same
@Pythor728 Ooooh yeah! Remember from the interviews, June was asked if she hated someone more than anyone else, and she replied she had an ex? That is entirely possible.
You could be right there, considering ‘he’ has a ponytail. That… vaguely… resembles…
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
For a second there…yeah, I kinda did.
AoT Much?
Cyril, no! Getting stabbed in the heart is bad for you! Wait……I think I know what’s going to happen next.
Xane sucks
Xane is AWESOME
I expected this to happen.
After all, he avoided the BWEEN.
Is that what it’s called now? I really want it to be called that now. IMA FIRIN MAH LASER BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Actually it looks to me like he did get hit by the BWEEN I think he just powered through it.
is Hana going to go hulk angry now? and Maxx just absolutely destroy Xane? Cyril is probably gonna have to fight some weird inner demons or whatever or have Hana heal him. I can’t wait for 402 Jesse keep up the amazing work!
Say someting, flowers
someting. you told me to say it
I expect Cyril to encounter Remiel now. You can’t heal getting stabbed in the heart just like you can’t fix stupidity.
Well. I can’t believe I actually thought the giant rabbit worked. GG.
Xane might be my new favorite character 😛
How can you say this, Look at what he did to Cyril
Does what he did to Cyril really matter at all?
It’s nothing he hasn’t done before
unless Xanes sword work like the activated Infinity Blade (sword) from… Infinity Blade (game)
Xane is the very embodiment of the saying, “A hero is a hero, but everyone loves a good villain.”
Loki?
cyril is cyril who cares what happens to him
Are you the Takeshidude who voice acts Maxx? Or is that just a name? :3
I am indeed the Takeshidude who voices Maxx. How many other Takeshidudes do you know? 😛
one more know…
I didnt expect to work in the first place but i do wonder:
What was squished then?
Ow wait i think i know… poor tyrone…
Aaaawwwwwww… :C
I wonder when he joins the team
Tyrone come tosses minishark to made maxx utterly wrecks same and cyril and rem my have amazing fight
Tyrone is prone to death tho… -_-
Tyrone throws the minishark, knocks out Maxx, starts shooting wounding everyone but the enemy, enemy takes minishark and unloads it on Tyrone.
AW MA GAWD I DIDN’T EVEN THINK O DAT (sorry for yelling) TYRONE IS SO UNLUKY MAN! GIANT WABITTS BE FALLIN ON HIM!!
and on top of that, max is still alive
that isn’t tyrone
Lol
Oh Come on Give Cyril God Magic PLS GOOBY PLS
Just realized something. Make Cyril pull a gandalf COME ON
Cyril the White! *Angelic aaawwing*
YOU… SHALL NOT…. PASS!!!
I just realized something… For hard mode, you need to sacrifice the helpful Guide in the underworld, summoning a demon. Later, you find a powerful wizard. Cyril is a wizard in this comic, and he is a guide…. Think back to the LOTR movies…. You see where I’m going with this?
One of the most misquoted lines there. It’s better to go off the books, where he says “You cannot pass!” instead of “You shall not pass!”
I think June will come save them… I hope :p
I’d hope not. Xane and June both share the same kind of humour. It would just be overkill.
Meh, overkill.
Overkill?
There’s no such thing…
I love Xane so much lol
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Angel dude or June will save them.
IZANAGI!
That guy is so awesome. Shame he stabbed Cyril, because that measn I cant like him :/
You don’t have to not like him just because he killed a technically un-killable character
Cyril: the victim that keeps coming back for more
That’s… Incredibly smart yet horribly depressing. O_o
I think I should feel bad for laughing at that…
Wow… Cyril…got…shanked… Is it evil of me to have laughed?I think it was. I hope that giant bunny becomes a new character. And, if you remember the alternate ending, how would the flower get shanked? Btw Jesse great job! Love your comic!
Time to visit ina
OH YES! TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT INA! Maybe Cyril wouldn’t want to return…
Oooh that would be a huge twist!
It’s been 4-10 comics and you’ve already forgotten about Ina… (I kinda did too :P)
No, I just forgot Ina would be in heaven.
My idea is being brought back to life. Remember awhile ago I said something about Ina? But if anything, after be shanked, he’ll go on vacation.
Wait hold on, maybe Ina will respawn next morning…
WHY ARE THE BUNNIES NOT WORKING? !?!?!?
Yeah!
Bunnies always work!
this is a comic, rules of physics don’t always apply
Xanes face in the last panel reminds me of June
The difference between them is that I hope Xane dies soon, unlike June. And by soon I mean next comic. Cyril is worthy to take a guy like Xane with him, and he’s got that fancy blue shanker close enough to him to actually do it…
Maxx is going to be more worried about Cyril’s ruined wizard pajamas then his actual death.
so true
You’d think that, but its his Guidey! Of course he cares for him! Did you not see what he did when he died…. last… time?….. Oh yeah…
XD this has pure rage coming up or fairy dust or June written all over it or maybe all 3
Xane is awesome, he’s the one who’ll say something witty in the battle. He’ll probably be the toughest enemy for the gang to kill.
I’m imagining Next comic with Hannah desperately trying to save Cyril’s life, Aley crying, and Maxx, being like “Meh, it’s happened before. No biggie”
Twice before, actually, unless he’s NOT in fact dead.
At this point… well… I know Maxx will live through this encounter… but the question is what will happen next.
I’m still vouching for the whole “they (or just Maxx) get captured and then they (or just Maxx) has to escape with the Tinkerer, Mechanic, and maybe the Old Man (if he is even going to be in this comic).”
I expect another drunken party, gone from just Maxx, to Maxx, Hannah, Aley, and maybe even Xane.
If xane becomes a party member, i’ll eat my goddamn hat.
Do it.
….No, Xane becoming a party member is way too much of a stretch. I would eat a bowlful of those sugarless gummy bears that wreak havoc upon your anus if that somehow became the case.
When I said party, i meant one-man party that Maxx threw for Cyril on his first death. (Note “Drunken”.)
No!
…
Not again!
D:
Oh, jolly ol’ me, how could I let my sword arm slip?
Yes Xane kill the fool!
Arhhh! Jesse! Of course we shouldn’t have assumed Rabbit Storm got him. And now we really need for June to come back…
Nooo, Cyril can’t die again :C
QUICK!…..
PUT THE BUNNY BACK IN THE BOX!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! References.
This Xane guy is officially my favorite character in the whole series. PLEASE MAKE HIM A GOOD GUY or something like that. Maybe plot twist in-the-end-darth-vader-kills-palpatine kinda thing?
i want a fourth wall break in 403
next comic is 402 bro.
i know
Its time for…
A DATE WITH INA!!!!
plz jesse
and sooner or later the crimson should make an apperance
Plsssss Jesse.
So Maxx was stabbed in the chest with a red sword and is still kinda fine, and Cyril was stabbed in the chest with a blue sword and is now pale and dead.
??????
Same sword Grog was stabbed with. Euuuugh, goblin germs.
I wonder what he does when he kills someone and they come back? This can’t be the first NPC he has killed. Still Cyril will likely have some words to share with his angel before he respawns.
Cyril- Wow i cant believe that worked! (5 Seconds Later) *SHANK*
keep in mind wizards have very very bad defenses but melee users often have amazing defense
I wonder if xane will get stabbed right after this
Y U DO DIS JESSE? D’:
This should be a good time to have Tyrone get killed… AGAIN!
PLOT TWIST, multiplayer world and somebody shoots Xane in the back of the head with a bow (Ranger to fill out the Warrior=Maxx, Mage= if you don’t know then you don’t get to)
Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!
Hannah is the ranger.She used a bow as her opening move in the last strip.
Oh, you make a point but still the multiplayer world could work, right?
Tyrone.
I consider him more as comic relief rather than an actual asset.
now that Cyril dis ot cold does this mean that the Flower is gunna kick sum butt?
Dude he isn’t out cold, he is dead.
Dang.
I think the daggers give Xane powers. Remember when Xane pulled out that dagger and went “Wouldn’t you mind if I went first, then?” then teleported behind Maxx? I think it gives him teleportation. The other one is less obvious, but maybe it gives him +10 attack. I dunno.
In the last two strips, when Xane hits something with the orange/red blade, one of his eyes goes from blue to orange.
PLEASE let Cyril live! This is too sad! 🙁 I love all the good main characters (obviously). It was all quite peaceful and happy, but now it’s more realistic and gritty! D: I hope it doesn’t cause someone we should care a lot about to die.
You do know that Jesse has established that NPCs respawn, right? As in… Cyril will be back sooner or later (the following day). Till then. More Remmy and Cyril hilarity due to the thing that happened a few comics back involving Cyril’s wife.
Maybe Cyril will bring the demo man and merchant for backup
Uhhh… not possible as it took a long time for them to get to the Dungeon. Even without that little unexpected detour involving the Vikings. It would take a long time or at least long enough that Maxx, Hannah, and Aley would all be dead at the hands of Xane.
plot twist: cyril uses esuna
I feel really guilty, but..
I kind of want Cyril to die. No, I’m not a homicidal bastard, but, you know, Remmy.
I also kind of want more Drunken Maxx antics. *inb4 PUBS ALL OVER THE WORLD*
Sheesh. Use some potions.
And then a dirt fist crushes him 🙂
Dam I wish I had Xanes super speed
there’s a rule with Legend of Maxx. that rule is: ALWAYS expect the unexpected.
So, im expecting some pizza, in the near future. 😀
Or expect which is most popular in the comments that Jesse finds funny.
Why is Hannah blurry, if she’s dying shouldn’t she be torn to pieces, or is it another re-logic and she will heal herself with her nurse skills?
I don’t think Cyril is still alive. He just shanked him in the heart/chest, and his face turned pale.
Still, this is where Hannah does what she COULD’ve done on the viking ship. Rage out and murder everyone.
maybe before Maxx came Xane killed June and replaced her
Xane is just like June in the murderous way with the smiles and murder.
“oh no, he’s been stabbed :3” LOL. This guy kind of reminds me of the Joker.
Can you do a comic on the village
Just shake off some of Aley’s fairy dust. That always works.
Hannah is going to turn Xane into a pile of quivering flesh for what he did to Cyril.
Im calling something again.
The “Squish” Squished tyrone and he, in the meantime, was throwing them a MiniShark, in the next comic they notice a lying gun around, maxx picks it up and goes guns blazing.
DO IT JESSE I DONT CARE IF THAT DOESNT SOUND FUNNY YOU ALWAYS CAN MAKE IT FUNNY!
<3
Xane is ninja.
I was trying to see if I could create Xane in Terraria but it seems like his hairstyle doesn’t exist in the game. Jesse, did you design Xane’s hairstyle yourself? Or am I just blind, because I actually have a stylist in one of my worlds.
The Closest Hairstyle to Xane’s that I could find was #13. But it’s missing that long braid that he has that I actually just noticed today. I thought it was actually a part of his cape or cloak or whatever it is.
I pretty much designed Xane from the ground up, so it’ll be pretty hard to mimic his appearance with in-game assets. His frame is also smaller than the standard male frame– he’s built more like the female Dryad are.
Oh I see. Well I got it as close as possible. Now I just need a Cape for him. And from what I saw on the Terraria Wiki, the Purple Gradient Dye is the closest to the color of Xane’s actual cape.
hey jesse can you make maxx break the fourth wall in 403 or 405?
Once I finish making Xane, I’ll take a screenshot of him and Post a link to his picture here. Call it fan art by me.
Ok, I finished making Xane. There are two Pictures, one with the cape, and one with out the cape. Click the links below to check them out.
Without the Cape: http://i.imgur.com/Is8pEss.png
With the Cape: http://i.imgur.com/0QMjxbu.png
Built like a female dryad, eh? *Wink* *Wink* 😉
Built like a female dryad? *Thinking it is June in disguise*
exactly thank you for agreeing with me
I really like how Guideys face turns pale after the shank. That is intended right?
Most likely. He did it before when Lord Grog got shanked. Speaking of, I wonder if goblins make good bait.
It’s logic, like in real life, when your ill or are dying, you turn pale.
That is just cheeeeeap. It’s like an over-powered boss fight!
Please don’t tell me Jesse is dead…
Uhh, Wha? You mean Cyril?
Geez, that’s brutal! What really gets me is Cyril’s face goes all pale when he falls. Please have SOMETHING whack Xane in the face!
I’m pretty sure Cyril is now gonna meet Ina
ninja swag
Finished reading all the pages from the time I found the ad to 10:25 PM
Can Maxxwell haz purpose next page?
Look jesse pinkman or whatever your last name is, this, this thing you did just now, is like you opened a gate and said, “men, how great would it be if june came and opened a bit can of whoop-ass in Xane’s face “, so that is what you’re doing, you hear me
im gonna kill that dude with my terra sword
But he can dodge that, what you need to do is stun him with the sniper rifle then finish him off with the horseman’s blade.
Or death sickle?
Very power
Much damage
So death
Wow
I’d use my bubble gun or razorblade typhoon
Wow… Boy is it going to be funny when Cryil goes to the heaven lobby. I imagine because he disrupted a heavenly concept that’s out of his league or whatever, and go to some place where there are no angels he can disrupt. You know, instead of going to the heaven lobby. I imaging next comic a giant block of dirt will “crush” Xane and have him “die.” Notice I used quotes. Man! this guy is fast! I really do think June and Xane with get along though.
Why is Cyril being shanked any more important than Maxx being shanked last comic? No one remembers that!
man, what an asshole
Jesse you should make maxx release his inner beast and go ballistic on him
Jesse you should make maxx release his inner beast
Almost 200 comments! 😀 2 more after dis!
Will that be a new record jesse?
Shanks for all the memories Cyril, see you when you respawn.
Shanking risk is high a around xane.
I just realized…
that’s the old blade of grass sprite.
I think All of them changed a bit actually.
Make part of the blade of grass get broken during the upcoming battle and have the remaining part look like the new blade of grass? And since they don’t have the others yet just use the new ones?
The old Blade of Grass actually looked like a blade of grass and not a lengthened, overgrown Light’s Bane.
THEIR BIG AND UGLY i mean Woah unexpected
when is 402 coming out iits been 2 days?????
also great comic im making my own aswell you inspired me 😀
He releases them on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays
Darn. Another Remmy scene.
Will Cyril survive?
Will he die and return as “Cyril the Russet Green”?
Will Xane ever be defeated?
Where the heck is Skeletron?!
All, some or maybe none of these questions shall be answered in the next page of…
The Legend of Zel- I mean… Korra! No wait… I think I got it…
The Legend of Mazeltoph! DANGIT! I’ll try again…
The Legend of M..Ma….M-ma…Maxx!! I GOT IT!
your answer:
no, yes, yes, next comic, and legend of Maxx you idiot
You know what, Jesse?
Yeah.
…
I kinda did.
Maxx’s blade of grass should, power up, or somthing, gain it’s new in game texture, and increase his speed to match Xane’s… Or something.
P.S nobody actually likes the new blade of grass texture. :\
Why do I want to be squished by a giant rabbit now?
Man, you just can’t kill that speedy Naiad assassin jerk. Can’t stab him, can’t shoot him, can’t crush him, and not even Aley’s Deus Ex Machina laser can hurt him. Heck, I’m willing to bet the Demoman’s TNT charge wouldn’t even hurt him.
We need something incredible, something amazing, something EPIC!
We need the Piranha Gun.
But in all seriousness, that’s just how I deal with really fast, dodgy or teleporting enemies in Terraria. ROBOT PIRANHA MISSILES!!!
when is next comic
plz tell me when next comic is
OP Blink Dagger is OP!
For all we know the giant bunny didn’t
work (well like they all say you can’t summon a bunny and kill with your pants tight)
Xane reminds me way too much of one of my own characters I’m writing.
…Oh well, at least it’s a good character.
Dude Xane is hilarious!
This Xane fellow reminds me of Maxx.
If Maxx was evil and somewhat more intelligent, that is.
Oh wow, Xane is super freaky, I can imagine him alternating between a surfer bro voice and a Joker voice.
THAT SOUNDS PERFECT FOR HIM
He has two sides, first his: “hey buddy!” Phase and his DIE DIE DIE phase
wait cane is a boy?
oh…….oh……….oh……….
