    A pretty solid introduction

    These two chapters are a rather excellent introduction to this series, being possible one of the most faithful adaptations of a comic-book for television.

    When I was a kid, even when many elements of the plot went over my head, I was always fascinated by its unique animation style, and by the other-worldy nature of the Outback.

    Even to this day, it remains as a rather impressive work. Kinda wish the rest of the comic had been adapted into a series.

      Julie: Maxx thinks I'm an extremist, but come on. Guys are saying that sometimes "No" means "Yes." And, honestly, sometimes it does. But I don't think any guy that's pulled himself off a crying woman has been confused for a second about what she wanted.
