  • Part 1 of 12. This and Other Things (Outtake from Rebel Max’s Journal) – V.I.V. is Real

    No one knows who V.I.V. is but it’s something like an honor to be featured in her underground newsletter that finds its way onto magazine racks all over Ladoga before management throws them away or they’re all snatched up by curious readers who look to V.I.V. for the stories she features about noteworthy citizens of…

  • Old Man Young and the Bronx Avenger One-Shots Issue 4 – The Rest

  • January 31, 2015 – Vol I Outtakes 3

    It’s time for more outtakes; more from the Volume I stories that you know and love. We’re in a new year and it’s crazy how fast time flies. January went by in a flash and my son celebrated his tenth birthday (he’ll be a grown man before I know it). Also, Roy will be back…

  • December 29, 2014 – Vol I Outtakes 2

    Yes, it has been a while. The holidays are pretty much over. I for one am glad; I hate spending so much money at one time, and that time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is just throwing gobs of it at people in stores that I don’t think need to exist (why is there a store…

    Hello, Rebel Max here. Roy asked me to present the Volume I Outtakes and I was happy to step up. I like what he does in the posts, they’re funny and informative, and I hope that I can be as engaging. First, let me explain what the Outtakes are. When we decided on the stories…

  • Silas in Hell Issue 4. Crazed and Confused (Part 2)

  • Silas in Hell Issue 3. Crazed and Confused (Part 1)

    Silas is not always in hell, sometimes he is happy with his family. Usually on holidays, from October through the New Year, his daughters and his wife don’t annoy him as much and they find themselves doing activities together that his daughters refused other times.

  • Silas in Hell Issue 2. Oedipus Rex

    “Come here, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you, I can’t hurt you. Would I like to? That is a complex question. I have been hurting souls like you for aeons, it is my nature. Like the things with wings that fly, they have them for that reason.” The man with the horns of a…

  • 12. In the Park – from Rebel Max’s Journal 1

    I took my son to the park in northeast Ladoga this past weekend. My parents met us there and we ate Bojangles on the metal bleachers at the basketball courts after we ran around for a while. Mary was meeting with a study group for her anatomy class that she was taking at CPCC and…
