And with that, the dungeon is escaped from!
When you jump into a strange person’s vehicle of destruction, it’s important to work out the basics.
I tried to create a sense of urgency with this comic by having numerous, small panels that compress a lot of action into a short comic. I think the effect works well when you read the comic quickly, but I do hope that it’s not difficult to figure out what’s going on.
-Jesse
Woooowwwww….
Max in the last panel is just like YEAH!!!!
and june is just like “meh, not as cool as my dirt jet.”
OMFG! Cyril is over his fear of water! Yaaaaaaay!
i think hes just scared of somewhat deep water, but that wasn’t.
No, in one comic he was scared of water that didn’t even cover his feet.
Finally! 😀
Dat hand
Master Dirthand Cofirmed?
Manus ex machina?
Handus ex machina?
Machinus ex Handa?
My god! XD
I am LOLing. Sophia’s smile and June’s blank stare make a pretty awesomely dangerous combination.
Why did you choose that sound effect? It’s not bad, I’m just curious. Bkow!
Notice that June got all of the team onto the Wrenchinator before asking what Soph was doing. Trust, or desperation?
It was more like if Sophia ended up being a bad guy, June would have thrown her of the Wrenchinator.
^^ Probably. Your replies always make me laugh. And she totally does have the most epic smile.
Hey, I just thought of something. Is Cyril still burning up on the inside because of Ina’s disappearance? And what does Hannah think of the whole thing? 0_0 I don’t think she’d be the type to throw a party, but still…
That moment when she frowns in the fifth panel, it looks like she’s disappointed that she’s not able to run Gui- Cyril over. Also: I miss Ina! D:
she probably DID want to run Gui.. Cyc… Whatever his name is over
Of course she wanted to run Cyril over. Who wouldn’t want to run over someone in a wizard robe?
I just want to have him escape without a hitch, then cyc… Guid… Cycr…. Whatsitsface get hypothermia from the water being cold
He would.
He’s probably going to be scarred forever. I’m actually excited for the next time he dies, because **** is going to get real between him and Remiel 😀
“I’m actually excited for the next time he dies”
Just think about that.
I can’t imagine them getting back together after the thing with Ina. It sorta killed their relationship.
I’m talking about Hannah and Cyril by the way.
I wanna run over a wizard!
But in all seriousness, let’s get this baby goin’ up to 88 MHP. Cyril and Remmie need a talk.
I don’t support Cyril and Hannah. Hanny needs to die (I say that about a lot of stuff, don’t I? Rock, or maybe Teft. Dalinar? Erret son of Erret!) :3
Rock and Teft are not aloud to die. Well maybe Teft, but it would be sad.
Hannah would just respond in the morning though.
*respawn
I like respond more
You know what else got killed in their relationship? Ina! Ha… ha….
Hannah still ´´likes´´ Guidey. She was ´´happy´´ about Ina ´´death´´.
Were they ever really in a relationship?
So uh, what ever happened to Xane? Was he just left in that cave in?
I would bet June’s dirt road that he’ll just pop up when everyone forgets about him and kill at least 1 person (would be a great idea to kill Tyrone again :D).
Rod ._.
*June Avenue*
Omg. It finally happened. A crazed maniac takes out it’s time to explain it’s plan, only to go back to being crazy once it’s done. THANX JESSE!
Dem comments are so first hungry (excluding Astrid16 and Ven)
Oh other notes: I predict Xane’s arrival in comic 486.
(Ha, love Maxx’s expression in the last panel, he definitely seems to enjoy himself. Also, Sophia’s crazy eye always cracks me up XD)
WOW JUNE, YOU ADMITTED YOU LIKE SOMETHING ABOUT MAXX! WOOWWW! SRSLY? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!?!
You sure are clueless.
lol i like how junes just like carry on like sophia`s a child
she is somewhat like a child on a permanent sugar high
You’re quite right with that, two clueless fish, you two are quite right…
thanx
mang
NO IT WAS ME WHO SAID IT! SHUT UP! NO! excuse me, ill be right back- ARE YOU TAKING CREDIT ANGIN!?!?!? OH SHUT UP!!!!!
Are you trying to be the next anonymous?
Sorry. Cus there are 2 of us, we argue a lot.
he’s the next anon.
Ya know, I whish this coment thingy had a delete button. And also, being annon dosent mean u suck or are stupid, it’s the person typing, not the name. Named people can be more annoying than most annons so people, stop using annon as an insult, it is a stupid thing to say, and it is like saying all (insert religion, race or group here) are idiots. It’s just not true that they ALl are.
ALL not Ali. Sorry
Maybe its time you renamed the comic to ‘Legend of June’, since she seems to be the main character now…
Also, this is prime example of Jesse McMinn’s idea of diversity: all the guys are useless shmucks while the girls are the only ones able to accomplish anything.
Though i ain’t trying to attack anyone here, just pointing some flaws out, so no offence, k?
Maxx made a traitor move and got the Muramasa. I don’t think that counts as useless.
He was about to lose it for not finishing the job though. He should have ended Xylan while he was still shocked by the stab.
Maxx fought the first two bosses,Aley’s been useful several times, if it weren’t for Xane’s haxx, Cyril could have taken him out(I wish we could see more “Smart Guy” out of him, although that might get taken by the Mechanic and Tinkerer)
No question that June is a complete Mary Sue, but that last bit was totally incorrect. As has been pointed out, ALL of the main characters have contributed. It just so happens that June has not only contributed, but never had any moments where she wasn’t winning.
The best (worst) part is that June knows she has a limitless amount of plot armor, take note of how she mocks all of her opponents simply because she knows they won’t end up beating her in any way.
Rant over. I love LoM, but June is my least favorite character.
June may be a little bit of a Mary Sue (personally I disagree) but at least she’s original and has a funny personality.
She wouldn’t qualilfy for Mary-Suedom if her negative traits were actually a detriment to her. Like say if her running her mouth caused her to get shanked, instead of having invincibility haxx.
It’s not that original of a character. I mean, there is a usually old joe (Maxx), a nerdy friend (Guidey) and a kick-butt girl (June). And I wouldn’t really find her personality funny, it get’s annoying after a while. She’s a complete debby-downer.
I prefer the Groosenator.
You have no idea how mad I was when I had to fight that damned thing a third time….
Nah. Third fight was easy (for me at least). The second fight was tough though.
Sophia’s smile in seven and eight is adorable.
enough bkow is legend of maxx ok.
The Dryad and the Mechanic are going to get along well…
Sophia’s expression at the 5th panel though.
I was going to ask if they were really going to not question a massive hand picking Cyril up…then I remembered June’s got the dirt rod.
That one took me a while to process. Granted, a giant hand isn’t the easiest thing for someone to just accept as normal.
XD in terraria it is
I’m looking forward to the Sophia/Maxx banter.
Insane and intelligent vs Insane and Idiotic
Which is which?
Sophia is the intelligent one and Maxx is the idiotic one.
I’m still curious about xane. He did say somebody’s going to pay.
Maybe he’s a mercenary and he’s going to take Xylan’s money as payment?
or………he robs the Merchant! yeah.. that sounds correct….
This made me laugh quite a bit. Maybe more so then how I have been characterizing the Stylist as the crazy character in my story.
I miss the old punny Shadow_Mantis. Great comic Jesse!
Much like the time I spent writing a little bit of haiku way back before discovering this comic, I got bored of doing puns every so many comments. Although… a bit late for this one but…
You could say that Sophia certainly threw a wrench in Xylan’s plans… well more plowed him over with it but details details.
Link to your story?
Seeing as he asked and I don’t know if I can do PMs or the like so… a think (http://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/tst-terraria-story-thing.2029/) for those who are interested. Just copy paste without the parenthesizes.
What is a “think?” I mean a “link.”
I already love the Mechanic even there have only been like two comics with her. I wonder when Tyrone next appearance (or rather disappearance) will be.
Also Jesse are you planning to incorporate every single NPC into the story? At this point in the story I’d say it would be appropriate for the Painter (make him a stereotypical Italian)/ the Dye Trader (make her a know-it-all oldie who does her own thing)/the Angler (make him a really peppy talkative annoying little boy)/the Stylist/the Traveling Merchant (I think it would be cool if he appeared every prime comic as a cameo). Anyways love the direction this comic is heading!
the traveling merchant should be like, a wise secretive person?
who agrees?
Or he could screw over the merchant. He kind of deserves it.
Come and have a look!. One pound fi–*argues with the merchant*
So, mercury/poisonous element/planet, how will an argument go?
I wasn´t thinking about an argument.
I was thinking along the lines of someone that might actually beat him in oligopoly.
(And it´s the poisonous element. I don´t like planets.)
the Dye Trader is actually a guy, plus you forgot the Party Girl NPC, which is based off of Pinkie Pie from MLP.
Plus the Witch Doctor NPC comes after beating the Queen Bee boss and the Clothier comes after beating Skeletron.
M eye n anpeesee two?
Party Girl + June = Chaos consumes the universe
I like how Maxx just jumps into the Wrenchanator upside down like nothing ever happend. Even though he just stabbed a guy…
a line from one of 169pd’s videos that fits this well: “look at me, I’m a golfball!!! *jumps* Weeeeee!!!”
…
i’ll bet that in the text 5 comics, xane will come back
Ggget pwned naida and goodbye dugeon your funny jokes ,fails ,adventures and fights will be Charished and time to get back home and slay the goblin army (the human army is aprochaing from west defend the bass goblins ) and yea so and hopefully Tyron didn’t did for once and I WANT ROCKET BOOTS
I guess there’s going to be and good bond between the mechanic and the nurse or June maybe both I hope she comes on adventures and gets her time to shine like June has for this whole dungeon ,Maxx got his time to shine deafting bosses ,Cyril during the spelunking/mining trip and kathern and Aley durning the walking part of the adventures of Maxx
Sophia is basically a combination of Maxx and June when you come to think of it, i mean She has the pure adrenaline of Maxx and the power and destruction of June
sophia’s face made me leave a comment
It’s good that you’re experimenting, but I don’t feel the strips pacing worked very well. I got the feel rereading it after seeing your authors note, but first time through it was a little confusing.
All panels of a comic is meant to be savored.
Shouldn’t the muramasa be filled in at the top of the site now that they got it too?
It can’t just end like this, where Xylan gets squashed by the Wrenchinator. No way a king of the Naiad would give up that easily. I mean, he was shanked in the stomach, rupturing vital organs, since the Blade of Grass went completely through him, I mean, if he survived that, he definitely can survive an impact of what seems to be the first tank-like mount in Terraria/Legend of Maxx. OR, he makes a reappearance in the Hardmode dungeon, if there is one.
I think this panel was kind of a disappointment to me. Of course, June has that invincibility hack going on for her, Xylan “dies” in a tank accident (Probably didn’t die.), and now that we know for a while now that Aley can revive anyone, I think that’s a little over powered.
Well,what annoys me,is that Jesse is doing this thing with June for plot purposes, but Aley did mention, that he would run out of fairy dust soon if the rate of death among the gang doesn’t decrease.
Yeah, but then Hannah can heal him/her.
Hannah can’t bring people back from the dead…
Remember when Aley ran out of fairy dust?
June is not amused… XD
bet you guys wouldn’t understand this quote: {the prices aren’t the only thing getting slashed}
Left 4 dead 2? ( i think it’s “Prices aren’t the only thing getting slashed” )
Master hand cameo?
WOOOSSHHHH
Maxx thinks its like a rollercoaster. He is having too much fun
SHE’S NOT HOLDING A STEERING WHEEL! DON’T GET INTO THAT MADGIRL’S VEHICLE!
7th panel : Sophia looks like a kid
Last

What? :l
I think I ment I’m the (number)th! And you might say that some of those are not numbers. To that I say… (Retracted) you!
And thats why your a ‘Bowl of 2 cluelessfish’
I quote Xane. “Someone’s going to pay for this…”
Xane is my favourite character. then Xylan, then Maxx. June isn’t even ON my favourites list. At first she was, but her godlike powers have gotten very boring, and whenever she faces off against someone, I just think “Not again…”, and I know she is always going to win. It’s not even fun anymore.
Well, looks like June isn’t annoyed by the mechanic…yet.
I wonder what July is annoyed about yet.
Nice joke, cheesy, but nice :D.
I like trai- i mean cheese…
Hey Jesse how is Loria book two coming along?
That wrench is bigger than it looked in past appearances…
Did June really need to ask her what she was doing?
I guess using Girl-epathy would be a bit scary with whatever goes on in Sophia’s mind
TO HELL WE GO!! With demons and other crap to get hellstone, that’s gonna be interesting to see
The Fiery Greatsword is in the desert with does flamey people remember?
The djinn hate people remember? they wouldn’t think twice about giving that sword to maxx… maxx isnt going to traverse the caverns to get there, he is going to be sent there by the djinn when they discover what a moron maxx is.
Then Maxx will wind up digging his way back to the surface, and ask for them to hand over the Sword.
They need the Night Edge before they kill the Wall o Flesh
I don’t think their ready for hell I think their hell adventure is going to be like the corrupt Maxx finds cool armor kills a demon doll falls in the lava runs ahead makes wall of blades and the wof GGGET PWNED
You should put Tyrone getting crushed in the next comic please ;3
I have a theory. Jesse reads these comments right? And he probably knows that almost everyone hates June right? So I think that sometime in the near(ish) future June just gets absolutely humiliated.
Ummm…but I love June…
Why do people want Junes downfall she’s geting her time to shine the other guys will get some too
It’s not that she’s hogging the spotlight it’s the fact she never seems to lose or get beaten up when she fights.
You do got a point but I’m sure has to have a good fight at some point were she’s at least scratched or bandaged
Maybey we will learned about her past then she can get beat up mentally I hope just wait
We already DID learn about her past.
You know you’re talking about June, right?
We kind of did but I want to know a little more yes I’m talking about not here society but more her self why is she so bossy
We already know why she’s so bossy, shes had the displeasure of dealing with multiple “chosen ones” for centuries and she’s always arguing to her superiors about being queen and/or having proper etiquette as a dryad (not to mention the whole war thing). One thing to note for everyone thinking she’s too op. She lets her arrogance get the better of her. Eventually she’ll meet her match (for all we know it could very well be Maxx).
Fine enough I still want something cool to happen like chachter growth that what makes a story good but I do kind of want to she her met her match …any more comments haters
I’m pretty sure that the fact that she only helps maxx when he is going to die, or going to be coaxed into becoming a destroyer… because it IS her job to do that.. and supposedly no one can match june “yet”, as mentioned before by xylan.
Xane “slayer of a thousands dryads “
“But not June”
June and the rest could not have lived but thanks to Sophia. This shows that June is not completely invincible.
So are we going to complain about Sophia being too OP?
Well, she isn’t a b*itch so far, and she doesn’t make any insulting comments all the time yet, and she doesn’t kick *ss all the time for now. So no.
5th Panel:
(Mechanic makes a sad face as Cyril is lifted up onto the wrench contraption of Satan)
Was she upset that she wouldn’t run over Cyril or something?
Finelly they escape God I’ve been waiting for this
What do you mean I’m not easy to process
SPOOKY SCARY SKELETRONS
NOT APPEARING IN LEGEND OF MAXX
NO PLOT HOLES OR THEY WOULD SHOCK YOUR SOULS
GOOD THING HE WON’T USE HAXX
Amazing lil’ thing you did there. XD
Wow saw an ad for a droid MAXX
How did Sophia’s wrench got so big?
Magic *snort snort*
SHUT UP..
sounds like the game. Npc opens the door. Falls down a huge man made dug hole, doesn’t die from the fall damage. Gets mauled by a tiny slime. xD
Sounds right
I have a strange feeling that something is going to fight them soon *cough skeltron and xane * cough I am sick
Derp da derp.
MOAR
the muramasa at the top should be highlighted, right?
Guide should be screaming and rip Maxx becouse he had his feet in WATER!!!
I think he’s still in shock about all this happening.
POSTED ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing here 😀
Nice imagine dragons avatar
Moooooooooooo had to do that
I am amused
ah i think i … guys. We haven’t seen skeletron yet. JUUUUUUST sayin. My little bro is gonna show up, and f yall up
MUST COMMENT ON COMIC. BEEEEEEP. COMMENT MODE ACTIVATED.
…Never trust a crazy mechanic in a wrench-mobile.
I feel like they should’ve gotten hit in the face with those bricks in the last panel.
Does anyone else agree?
Also, BKOW!!!
LOL
I guess Skeletron be coming in never? Would of been interesting to see that boss fight in the comic as the Eye of Cthulhu and the Eater of Worlds were shown in the comics.
Comment chain!

Huh. No comic still?
P.S. Neigh, horse sounds.
Anyways, here’s a comic that is just as good as Brawl in the Family and The Legend of Maxx, Link time!!!
http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Forum/48624/page/142/
I got a theory a game theory (uh no) anyways the naida have deafted skeltron aka. A ancient necromarcers layer . got the powers and the loot before the war and got greed for power and started a war . That’s why no dungeon guradin murdering them .so yea no skeltron but maybey a skeltron prime
I want another comic! 🙂
Am i the only one that noticed there is suppose to be a new comic?
“Sorry guys, away from my computer until Sunday. I’ll try to have a comic out then. Things have just been non-ideal lately…”
Note the keyword is Try. Hopefully the next comic will be a long one though, I vote for more Maple and Poa shtick.
I want my comic now (deamding 3yr old tone)
have you thought about making the legend of maxx into an animated series when the comic is done?
As cool as that would be, Jesse’s only one person, and it would take an OBSCENELY long time for even a single episode to come out(Getting Redigit’s permission, voice actors together, animating every single frame). Besides, I think Jesse’s talent is in writing, not drawing/animating, which is why he chose pixel art in the first place.
I would be happy if he would just post another comic it’s been 5 days and I want to know what happens
( not trying to be rude)
well we could do a kickstarter? also the terraria team loves maxx the little title thing with terraria even sometimes say the legend of maxx so permission shouldn’t be a problem heck they might even fund it as it would sort of be advertising!
but yeah we shouldn’t count on it. the most important thing though is the creators wishes so we the (not really) humble fanbase can only hope… and wait
An animated series would be epic! I wonder if Red would go for it?
Since I first heard of terrair I wanted a tv show or serries for it and legend Maxx fills that child hood void but it will be cool if it was a actual show not just narrations
Since I first heard of terrair I wanted a tv show or serries for it and legend Maxx fills that child hood void but it will be cool if it was a actual show not just narrations
Almost… new comic…
Aw man, he’s planning something for comic 450 isn’t he?
Ooh, shiny new banner!
I DON’T GET IT. HOW DOES SAND NOT MEET DIRT QUALIFICATIONS? TERRLUMINATI CONFIRMED
Oops, wrong comic, nobody read that
that hand in panel 5 tho
