Title: Reaches high, falls short
Product review: On one level Maximortal is straight up satire of Superman's fictional and real lives.The Maximortal arrives on Earth as a baby, is discovered by two kindly farmers and (as a baby with god-like powers) promptly kills several hundred people before being imprisoned by the army.Meanwhile an unscrupulous publisher steals the character True Man from two struggling cartoonists and proceeds to make millions from their ideas while they live in poverty.Eventually the real Maximortal becomes the fictional True Man and things get strange.There are metaphysical ideas about fiction and reality, belief and magic but honestly they never really come together as anything profound.As other reviewers have said there is some disturbing images, some cheap shocks and some genuinely good bits but overall it's a confusing mess.
