Previews Synopsis: Maximo…the two-fisted, sword slashing warrior from the wildly successful Capcom video game comes to life in the printed pages of comics. Written by Beau Smith, who also wrote the upcoming Capcom Video game Maximo II, Maximo finds himself once again called on to save a kingdom from the clutches of evil. This time evil comes in the form of Skabb and his legion of decaying demons of death known as The Rot. This comic brings all the action of the video game and gives the readers an extra layer to the story of Maximo!

Maximo is a perfect tie in for new non-traditional comic book readers. It will appeal to those that love comic books, video games, as well as role-playing games. People that enjoy films like Lord Of The Rings, Reign of Fire, Jackie Chan, and Indiana Jones will also be very pleased with Maximo.
