Max & the Midknights #2

In "1," Lincoln Peirce delivers a delightfully chaotic chapter of Max & the Midknights, where Budrick and Seymour pull off a daring rescue from quicksand before Max uses his sharpshooting prowess to reclaim the stolen gem. With the portal threatening to unleash more bodkins, Seymour’s unexpected transformation turns the entire team into bees, and they race through the air—gem in tow—toward the closing rift. The story’s inventive momentum is brought to life by Peirce’s expressive art and Tom Racine’s vibrant colors, while the cover by Peirce captures the moment’s urgency in bold, dynamic lines.
