Comic #444

By /

It’s interesting that the dark side is always associated with either extreme ugliness or extreme beauty, at least in works of fantasy. Apparently, in the world of Terraria, artificial standards of beauty for villains has motivated the use of some kind of bulimia-inspired dark magic.

Anyway.

      Maxx is like mercenary…he will join demons or angels just for cookies and cool weapons such as mud pie….XD

    So that’s how it works! I’ve always been jealous of those handsome villains.

    June’s eyes in that last panel….oh, dear.

    Tiny squares of light. Ha. Wouldn’t it be funny if that was ACTUALLY what their world was made of? Think of the implications! 😛

    I find it rather ironic and hilarious that June has that much faith in Maxx. No sane person would trust him that much.

    At first, I thought that Maxx was pulling a Batman/hyperdrive prank from the LEGO movie. But I honestly don’t think that Maxx is that good of an actor. He seems really and truly enthusiastic about being on the Dark Side.

    Oh, that’s great. Reference to a traditional meme, and epic irony in the same comic!
    But… if they have cookies that don’t make you fat, I don’t see why I wouldn’t join the Dark Side. Honestly, the Naiad don’t seem THAT bad…

    Really, all it’s going to take to put Maxx back on their side is to promise him awesome Holy Stuff (seriously guys, have you SEEN Remiel’s sword? That’s much more awesome than some silly Night’s Edge) or sway him into being an awesome* Riku-style twilight wielder (as in, light and dark, not the damned book series).

      who needs Corruption Powers or Holy Powers when they can promise him the ultimate powers, aka, the Terra Blade (combination of three Broken Hero Swords, the Night’s Edge, and Excalibur) which is best sword in-game. June, promise Maxx the Terra Blade, no one can resist that awesome offer.

      1. FCtheHalfDragon

        forget the Corrupt side and the Hallow side, go to the Pure side, Maxx. it is the best of both without as any deadly Eaters or bloodthirsty Unicorns trying to kill you yet you still get pure awesomeness. also, one more thing, an Old Man needs your help lifting the Curse of Skeletron off of him.

      6. Bantya

        Well, the Terra Blade represents the Purity, and also the balance of Hallow and Corruption. As you said, it’s made of the Night’s Edge (Corrupted blade) and Excalibur (Hallowed blade), but that means you have to have BOTH.

      1. Bantya

        He’s skulking off-frame. And hey, maybe he’s reading another section of the spellbook, titled: How to completely and immediately wrap up the plot and solve everyone’s problems in 3 easy steps!

  35. Awsonymous

    Xylan is a complete douchehole, but I can’t help but sympathize with Maxx on this. Look at all the Naiad merch!

  42. FCtheHalfDragon

    Pre-Hardmode NPCs Maxx has yet to get: Arms Dealer (iffy), Party Girl, Mechanic (in the Dungeon), Goblin Tinkerer (in the Dungeon), Painter, Dye Trader, Stylist (probably in a Spider Nest), Angler (a jerk and sleeping underwater, probably going to drown), the Clothier (talk to the Old Man at night and beat Skeletron), and the Witch Doctor (kill the Queen Bee, which means going back to the underground jungle to find a Hive). Also maybe the Traveling Merchant, who sells a lot of Oriental stuff, including Sake (which is a Japanese alcoholic drink made from fermented rice), a Katana (Ninja Time), and a Revolver.
    Pre-Hardmode Bosses Maxx has yet to beat: King Slime (because Ninja gear), Brain of Cthulhu (optional if Jesse considers adding the Crimson), Queen Bee, Skeletron, and the Wall of Flesh (probably going to show up in a later comic since killing it releases the true Corruption and the Hallow)

    Aley, here is the plan to change Maxx back: tell him what happened to his…

    1. FCtheHalfDragon

      settlement while he was gone (remember, the Merchant sold it to goblins).

      Also, another fun name to yell besides “George R.R. Martin” is when you go into real close melee combat. And that name is…

      “LEROY JENKINS!!!”

      Well, not destroy it, more like corrupt it, i hope he gets his “demon powers” he’s always wanted, then joins the good side again, what’s better than the dark side? Knowing all of the dark sides secrets and having it’s power while being on the good side, we all know as soon as Maxx learns to summon the undead he’ll never do anything himself.

    1. spicyice101

      If Maxx still likes June he’s doing it all wrong, you don’t get a girlfriend by joining the group she hates, I’m starting to think his brain is the hammush!

      1. Ironwill233

        Just put your soul into the jar and sign here ,here and here “why does it say to get possessed” don’t worry about that just get cookies ok _” ready skeltron “

  59. Ironwill233

    Join the ironiers we got got a shared stock I penaro bread and fudge brownies with chocolate chip cookies sprinkled on top made with organic ingredients and cooked trout from the mechanical fishing rod

  60. Ironwill233

    And u don’t need to get possessed just need to make potions or farm bosses for me 1 hour a day and if u die your family would get taken for life and pluss u get paid in a hardy meal or 65 silver coins per hour of work and if that dosent suit u , u can work in my potion ingredients farm

    What you get on the hallow side: standing around for generations doing nothing and being absolutely bored, and you live in a hot jungle filled with jungle bugs and worse

    What you get on the corrupt side: free cookies and demon magic, cool weapons and armor, dark magic, live in a cool dungeon with awesome traps and most importantly, not filled with bugs

    Which side will you choose!

    (If you don’t pick corrupt your an idiot.)

    1. Cannon Guy

      I choose the dark side.
      Of the moon.
      In space.
      During the day.
      During a solar eclipse.
      During a rabbit storm
      During a cookie flood.
      During the zombie apocalypse.
      With an umbrella.

      2. PrinceKhalel

        If you join the dark side, taking over the universe will result in you feeling emptiness once you have everything. Being good has a purpose.

    1. Falcon

      Xylan: Now, my loyal minion, dispose of these insufferable fools!

      Maxx: I’d love to, Mr. Xylan Sir, but, uh… I broke my sword…. while training. Can I use yours?

      Xylan: Um..OK *Hands Maxx Muramasa*

      Maxx: Thanks *Walks past everyone towards the Dungeon entrance*

  67. Vergil

    He will freeze up and either stay neutral,turn on xylan, or stay on the corrupt side to get powers and kill xylan after pretending to vaporize them when in reality he teleported them out of the dungeon,because even if he is an idiot he would never hurt his friends.

    Oh wait im talking about lovable idiot Maxx not lovable twat Dante.Yeah his friends are doomed.Also cake if you get the reference my name makes.
