Max of the Regulators #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Heavier than Heavy," Max of the Regulators confronts a scathing review from Don Thompson of the Comics Buyer's Guide, turning the criticism into a personal reckoning. As Veronica expresses her frustration with the fanzine’s influence, Max’s reaction takes a dramatic turn—burning a copy of the publication in a moment that speaks volumes about the weight of public opinion. Written, drawn, and lettered by David Smith, with cover art by Frederic Cooper, this 1985 issue from Atlantic Comics delivers a raw, introspective look at creative vulnerability.
In a future where guns are banned and the Regulators patrol with absurdly heavy enforcement, Max and Veronica take on a case that’s anything but minor—tracking down escaped convicts Alex Ramsey and Cal Gerrard and their crew. With deadpan satire and a dead-on grip on sci-fi absurdity, this story turns law enforcement into a punchline while keeping the tension tight.
In "null," the Perilmedics perform a wildly absurd emergency heart transplant on a man who's literally hanging off a cliff after a heart attack—because, in this satirical world, medical care comes with a side of surrealism. The story’s deadpan delivery and offbeat logic make for a sharp, darkly comic take on healthcare, all in just five pages.
In a sharp, satirical twist from *Max of the Regulators* #2, the Chief brings in a new partner who quickly learns the hard way that Max, the tiny but no-nonsense enforcer, has zero patience for comic relief—especially when it comes to window-breaking introductions.
