Ah Maxximized

I couldn't bring myself to get the reissue

There is huge difference in colors with all new digital hand painting over the original lines. A far superior remaster. Also, they went back and rescanned the original inked art for a higher resolution to work with on the coloring. You should consider the collected editions. Not those expensive hardbacks but the Maxxed Out paperback. Also, here’s an article with some more details. I believe Sam shifted the order of some storylines around.

I have the giant sized Maxx artbook already lol

I have a couple of Maxximized issues, but found it nothing to write home about. 

Only thing left for me is to nab a ashcan set when one is available, and maybe a OA cover, probably after Sam dies, if he doesn't throw the one I want away in the meantime

I like the first one, very nice

Also, very surprised that Maxx stuff seems to still be bleeding its way into the market

Maybe my collection isnt just as laughable as I think

Agreed, love the 1st also. 

Silver glints so well.

Those are a CGC employees orange fingernails.

lol that's what was throwing me off too, the pic almost looks as a scan would, but then the thumb.

Still nice! for CGC to take those kinds of photos, I almost thought you were at NYCC? or maybe cgc took a pic some other way...

All good :) 

I'd use their pics as well, but I don't have a scanner, myself, for slabs :eek:

Does anyone have a pic of the Silver foil 1/2?  I see on one the census, is this an error of the gold?  Even rarer than the red and blue!

That issue will always remain a mystery on who owns it and what it looks like.
