I’ll tear him apart and send his remains that aren’t in the tenth circle of hell to the ELEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL!(That’s where everyone who steals my money goes. Oh, by the way, if you were wondering what happened to the Arms Dealer, he’s suffering in the twelfth circle of Hell, where people who own shops like to flirt people more than sell stuff go when they die. There are also a million OTHER circles of hell, by the way. Just so you know.)
Actually the ‘circles of hell’ doesnt have much to do with religion. It’s from literature. Namely Inferno by Dante Alighieri (hope I spelled it right). Also, european and north american culture are based on christianity, which bases mostly on ancient roman and greek cultures (gnosthic, sophistic, stoic and so on). And I’m not even christian. I just know my roots.
It’s fine to ignore beliefs, but being deaf and blind to culture is silly. Most atheists are not far better than uneducated christians.
I own hexagons of hell. All full of dark magic to curse the merchants that sold villages unlegaly and then were killed by the prior owner of the village.
Noobs I have decagons that are attacted on to a compsite figure , of heaven , hell and then end. Ps. You should get both side of a belief , from all prepstives and don’t just ingore tbe belief. Don’t just go by stereotypes explore the commuity and maturity level or the faith
Is is that easy to invent another circle for hell. Then I’ll havw twelfth circle for all the idots in middle school *cough and skydoeskyminecraft join the swifter
Yeah of it were the game I’d let the goblins finish the second panel then grind those monsters, make them aware of the fact that they’re rightless pixel chunks and then they’d cheese it
Yes, the lunatic who just invented a tenth circle of hell will act civilized with the jerk that handed over the village to goblins or make a deal with said goblins
You KIDDING?!
I thought he was an idiot ever since I saw the comic where he sold the freaking city which WASN’T his to another stinking RACE!
I feel sorry for the Demolitionist for not being able to stop him, not the STINKING MERCHANT!
THIS is why I kill goblins. THIS IS WHY I DON’T TRUST THE MERCHANT TO WATCH MY VILLAGE INSTEAD OF THE GUIDE!!!
Wow that’s totally what I did, now if you excuse me I gotta call my guide.
Hello Jeff? How’s it going- WHAT? BLOOD MOON? MERCHANT GOING CRAZY?
What in the name of ostra is goi- hello? Jeff? Jeff? Uh oh… Gotta go guys.
It’s all your fault, EMB. Sheesh. Look at all the time I am now wasting on Pinterest and Netflix because of the obsessions you have so graciously bequeathed upon me. (Including, but not limited to) Brandon Sanderson, Doctor Who, and Artemis Fowl. Huh. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head, I thought there were more. Oh, yeah! Anime. You’ve pulled me into that too. And Dengeki Daisy.
You hold the strings to my fragile, broken puppet. (haha! Haha!)
Ah, yes. Smurg. My bad. You can forgive me, Jesse. Right? 🙂 Been a busy fall/winter for me, what with all these obsessions that’ve been thrown on my shoulders.
Oh! I just thought of more! You ALSO pulled me into reading that one comic…uh…what was it called? Legend of Maxx? Remember that one? It’s pretty addicting.
And then there’s Aaron Kite’s books…and…hang on. More’ll come to me.
I think the snitch was the merchant, since he will do almost anything for money. which means xane probably bribed him way ahead of time. snitches tend to work better when bribed with money instead of death threats.
i have an idea. let there be some more goblin moments with Smurg talking to the Goblin Tinkerer. also, Smurg, be angry at the Merchant too, since he didn’t have the right to give you the village in the first place. (still want to see the Old Man/Clothier come into this story at some time)
Hey, Jesse. I have a bit of constructive (*not* condescending) criticism. I feel like you relied too much on italics in your dialogue. I think that authors need to trust their characters a bit more. As long as each character has a unique voice (which you’ve mastered) you will hardly need to use italics. We can already hear the sarcastic/patronizing/etc tone, and we don’t usually need the emphasis of special fonts. Unless the character is saying something OOC, of course, in which case fonts can be a great help. 😛
I think that’s pretty valid criticism! I try to err more on the side of simplicity with my writing these days, and that’s definitely one more way I could leave things up to the reader. Thanks for the comment!
Welcome to the ninth circle of hell, mister merchant! Your here because only traitors would sell the village of someone else. And you just happened to have done that!
my best guess to what happens next is the merchant gets banished but maxx lets the goblins stay cause they didn’t do anything wrong…or he might just banish them all aswell
Well this can’t end well…
I think you misspelled ”First”
Nice one.
Yep. And people keep on mispelling second and third. Silly people.
Fifth!
P.S: you misspelled fourth
Actually, we weren’t the first four people here.
*clap *clap *clap (slowy)
Can’t wait to see how this ends! :3
EVIL MERCHANT!
TEH MURCHANT!!!

God, I hate that guy!
Give him hell, Maxx!
Will do! I WILL TEAR HIM APART AND SEND HIM TO THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL
I’ll tear him apart and send his remains that aren’t in the tenth circle of hell to the ELEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL!(That’s where everyone who steals my money goes. Oh, by the way, if you were wondering what happened to the Arms Dealer, he’s suffering in the twelfth circle of Hell, where people who own shops like to flirt people more than sell stuff go when they die. There are also a million OTHER circles of hell, by the way. Just so you know.)
I’M AN ATHEIST SO I DON’T HAVE ANY CIRCLES OF HELL!!!!!
Woops, shouldn’t have said that out loud :3
i’m a pastafari, so i have squares of hell.
Actually the ‘circles of hell’ doesnt have much to do with religion. It’s from literature. Namely Inferno by Dante Alighieri (hope I spelled it right). Also, european and north american culture are based on christianity, which bases mostly on ancient roman and greek cultures (gnosthic, sophistic, stoic and so on). And I’m not even christian.

It’s fine to ignore beliefs, but being deaf and blind to culture is silly. Most atheists are not far better than uneducated christians.
Is this Inferno book or whatever what the game Dante’s Inferno is based on?
I own hexagons of hell. All full of dark magic to curse the merchants that sold villages unlegaly and then were killed by the prior owner of the village.
Pfft. I have trapezoids of hell.
Noobs I have decagons that are attacted on to a compsite figure , of heaven , hell and then end. Ps. You should get both side of a belief , from all prepstives and don’t just ingore tbe belief. Don’t just go by stereotypes explore the commuity and maturity level or the faith
I’m Alist, so I have only one glass of ale. 🙁
I’m an atheist so I have 10 dinner plates of dead babies.
According to about half the Christians I know, anyway. Seriously, we don’t eat babies >.>
I have 17 triple-sided graphite refractory potatoes of hell.
Get on my level.
I think this is getting out of hand
I have 999999999999 9001-dimensional 8-sided hyper-penrose pony-infused imaginarium Homestuck Tesseracts of holy hell and unholy heaven.
OMFGZ
I AM the Illuminati therefore I have triangles of hell
Hello maxx…. you realize you are in the first circle of heaven… most cockiest hereos of all time….. im in 1st too….
I’m Twister, so I have no idea of Heck.
Ya i know right?
Is is that easy to invent another circle for hell. Then I’ll havw twelfth circle for all the idots in middle school *cough and skydoeskyminecraft join the swifter
Middle sucked for me too. High school is a lot better, I think.
Also, making fun of sky on the internet is going to get you a lot of hate, so be careful with that.
LET THEM COME
Roman the Accuser!
Ronan
I can take anyone with budder armor, I’ll just get a heat gun and melt it XD
you mean a “Heat Ray”?
I’m pretty sure budder is a drug.
Okey dokey. That’s the thirteenth one for the Merchant. Jerk.
Uh oh, this can’t end well.
I shouls have looked at the first comment…
should*
Turn the murchant into a slave ppl that’s what we irkens do
What is an irken?
I wonder how thats spelled. Urchin, Urkin, Ichin, irkin? Whatever. Though he would steal your snacks.
What in the one thousand, three hundred, and thirty seven triangles of heaven is THAT?
This is an irken http://zim.wikia.com/wiki/Irken
@dmqza there are only 3 heavens. 1’st heaven—2’nd heaven——3’rd heaven(where God is)
I was overdoing a joke from the previous comic, and there are three heavens!?
K jcqh, wcvklmwon, kwh’b lhc ycqfch chlmth?
Maxx is angry. They better run.
something tells me that the goblins will still get hurt
Well, it IS common knowledge that not only the traitors, but also the villains they aided, will always get a good load of a** whooping. XD
something tells me that june is the one who will hurt the gobins
Yeah of it were the game I’d let the goblins finish the second panel then grind those monsters, make them aware of the fact that they’re rightless pixel chunks and then they’d cheese it
i dunno they migth make a deal
Yes, the lunatic who just invented a tenth circle of hell will act civilized with the jerk that handed over the village to goblins or make a deal with said goblins
ive got to hand it to Smurg, he’s doing a much better job than Grog was. the merchant had better watch his back
I feel sorry for the merchant
You KIDDING?!
I thought he was an idiot ever since I saw the comic where he sold the freaking city which WASN’T his to another stinking RACE!
I feel sorry for the Demolitionist for not being able to stop him, not the STINKING MERCHANT!
THIS is why I kill goblins. THIS IS WHY I DON’T TRUST THE MERCHANT TO WATCH MY VILLAGE INSTEAD OF THE GUIDE!!!
Wow that’s totally what I did, now if you excuse me I gotta call my guide.
Hello Jeff? How’s it going- WHAT? BLOOD MOON? MERCHANT GOING CRAZY?
What in the name of ostra is goi- hello? Jeff? Jeff? Uh oh… Gotta go guys.
And when I return, spawn rates go up, and everyone dies.
Poo.
Ok,guide almost killed, lecture for merchant,zombies frequently coming (for now…), totally normal day today
Then I take out my razor pine and spectre armor and commence the zombie genocide.
* http.://youtube.com//pwningthebloodmoon *
I play IOS (1.2) I still have full Dragon Armor (better than Melee Chrolophyte) and legendary Tizona
Wow, this comic went up fast.
Yes! More minor NPC development, can’t wait!
What is the merchant’s name?
Mr. BLARGLFARGL
BARGLEARGLEMURDER
Mr. McMerchant
Well. This has only a few different ways that it can play out. I am excited to see which path Maxx takes.
I love how the goblins are civilized. It made me smile.
Why am I imagining the head goblin (does he have a name?) with a British voice? Maybe I’ve been watching too much Doctor Who.
Are those goblin heads hanging from the ceiling?
Banners which you get from killing Goblins. I presume in this case those are supposed to be the four goblins that live there
His name is Smurg. Don’t you remember the whole “You are such a disappointment, Smurg.” thing? He got a promotion after Lord Grog died.
And yes. You most likely have been watching too much Doctor Who.
(Sorry, my fault…)
It’s all your fault, EMB. Sheesh. Look at all the time I am now wasting on Pinterest and Netflix because of the obsessions you have so graciously bequeathed upon me. (Including, but not limited to) Brandon Sanderson, Doctor Who, and Artemis Fowl. Huh. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head, I thought there were more. Oh, yeah! Anime.

Hiya, Astrid16…0.
Didn’t you forget Terraria as another addiction?
Damn you…. uhh… I don’t know his name but DAMN HIM!
Lol
I like that painting in the backround
Also the leader guy talks way too much. It is like he became leader for no good reason(http://legendofmaxx.com/archives/1310)
He is a chatterbox alright
To quote Dungeon Defender: Don’t Trust The Shop Keeper. (Or in this case, The Merchant)
Dungeon Defenders*
I love how serious he’s getting! Now lets hope he puts the muramasa by the merchants neck.
Agreed.
The blade of grass is much better in the game, he should be using that
BTW, goblins ARE just grindable monsters. Another reason why they’re not that intelligent.
Yep the merchant is official worse then a minecraft villager
Maxx was just like Timmy Turner’s Dad in the last panel xD
Dinkleburg…
Dinkleburg…
upsidedown goblinses
:Y
The realization on Maxx’s face was so funny to me!!
Thanks for your amazing work, and as always keep it up!
Finally the merchant’s going to die. Also who is the snitch that xane mentioned?
I think the snitch was the merchant, since he will do almost anything for money. which means xane probably bribed him way ahead of time. snitches tend to work better when bribed with money instead of death threats.
Maybe it was the goblins. Remember their “pay”?
Also, the merchant’s just an ass/donkey/Jerk.
The ‘pay’ was ‘All the seconds I don’t kill you until you bring me another prisoner’ (Xane)
Exactly. They are most likely the snitches.
That merchant was a piece of poo. He deserves his own voodoo doll. Jerk.
THE. MERCHANT.
…Owes me money.
I say he uses both the legendary swords he has
I want a mod that lets goblins live in a town you make for them while they pay you rent
Totally, just totally.
That sounds awsome
I feel sorry for Merchant when Maxx finds him
don’t feel sorry for him! he’s a stupid bum face! I hope maxx kicks him out of town!
On the plus side.. the place finally has a name. ‘S not half bad, either :3
i have an idea. let there be some more goblin moments with Smurg talking to the Goblin Tinkerer. also, Smurg, be angry at the Merchant too, since he didn’t have the right to give you the village in the first place. (still want to see the Old Man/Clothier come into this story at some time)
I always find the merchant irritating as well.
XD That last panel was hillarious. Gotta love Maxx’s game face!
Hey, Jesse. I have a bit of constructive (*not* condescending) criticism. I feel like you relied too much on italics in your dialogue. I think that authors need to trust their characters a bit more.

Please Jesse, get rid of that grass under the house. It’s bothering me.
;-;
Welcome to the ninth circle of hell, mister merchant! Your here because only traitors would sell the village of someone else. And you just happened to have done that!
Hey guys, remember WAAAAAY back to comic 58, Guidey has some super secret demonic power.
Yeah he strangled maxx great
Completely unrelated comment award get!
New NPCs that should be met next! Stylist, cyborg, party girl, steampunk, truffle, clothier, pirate, and angler!
They should give the goblins a apartment complex. for the reason , it’s always good to have a spare army >:D
Is it just me, or is Maxx after the Encounter with the Naiad a bit more…Aggro?
Tis true, maybe he got a little less himself since he got his a** handed to him by Xane
Damn you, Damn you all(by all I mean the merchant) to hell! You sold it up!
Wow the merchant is more evil than the guide. And the guide does dark magic.
Well the Guide is going to have dark (voodoo) magic done on him sooner or later
because the goblins are not dead yet im going to assume that the “heroes” are either incompetent or pacifistic
I put maxx from this series for akinator to guess and now he wont let me play 🙁
Maxx has been in Akinator for a long time. I looked a long time ago, and if he WASN’T in there, I would’ve added him.
I put myself in there.
my best guess to what happens next is the merchant gets banished but maxx lets the goblins stay cause they didn’t do anything wrong…or he might just banish them all aswell
The day after this day on the news…
The merchant’s corpse was found with a sword through his chest.
The main suspect: Maxx.
Lol that would be AWESOME
“The Legend Of Maxx, Minus Maxx”
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2mm8dia&s=8#.VJhs1F4gA
Where is the next panel?!?!
Maxx 2 do list : Kill merchant, Kill Smurg, make next comic strip, get more adoring fans, sit back and relax with a cup of ale and deny everything….
Hopefully maxx isn’t turning into a june. I noticed he’s bit more of loose cannon(what else is new :3)
I sense another Boss fight coming… 🙂
Where’s the next comic jesse
Is it just me or are the words at the end of the description Jesse made italic?
😛
Not spam.
