Description I may have talked about this one before, so if I have, forgive me. If not, well, here's the real brief rundown of the character. I'm working on a new comic series here, and I thought I'd bring over a couple of my more favorite characters from the last comic series Shadowgirls. But as the comic will be about five years later, I wanted to age and mature those characters a bit.

Max here has been around for about 13 years now. Maybe a little more, I don't know. I have a few comics out there with her in it. Really small print runs, but I guess they count. (The artwork in the background was from those comics.) While it was absent in Shadowgirls, I wanted to bring back the giant arm sleeve, but instead of being a gunmetal gray, going for a dark gray, almost black to match the secret agent role she'd be playing. I never intended her to be an outright cyborg, but I guess that's part of the character now. I did want to keep the green dreadlocks and the single eye black (or green) under her left eye, to play off the asymmetrical look.

So hope you like it.

For comparisons, here's an example of her earliest design: [link]

And the design when she was in SG: [link]

Glad to see Maxine again. I really took a quick liking to her.
Though I have to say, it's a shame there wasn't any real resolution to her situation in the comic and got a reboot instead.

Like the redesign, any ideas on when the new comic will hit the web? If that's where it will be? Loved Shadow Child and was sad to see it end, cant wait for your next series. Keep up the great work.

It will be free on the web, with the option of a digital comic to be sold with extra content. (At least that's the plan thus far.) When though... I don't know. I want to get the entire first story arc completely finished before releasing it, which is how I want to do this next series. Finished a story arc, then release it. I really don't want to run into the same problems I had last project with falling behind on pages again. Currently, I'm still scripting it, but I'm hoping before the year's end.

Cant wait, will it be a stand alone, or tie in with other stories?

Well, it'll be a own series, as it's not related to Shadowgirls other than it's just in shared universe. A few other characters like Max here will pop up from time to time, but it's going to create it's own mythos and follow it's own path. (To give it the best comic book example I can, if Shadowgirls was say, Batman... This will be Superman.)

That makes perfect sense. Cant wait to see the first page. On the edge of my seat waiting.
