Terminal Lance Ultimate Omnibus

My boyfriend LOVES this comic artist/veteran, and he was showing me this book at a bookstore on my birthday. I'm fully aware that I unintentionally seem as though i'm not paying attention a lot of the times (which I actually do feel real horrible for), but I had made a mental note on which comic strip he showed me in the book sp that I could get the exact one for HIS birthday. When he opened the gift and saw the book in front of his entire family, he went ballistic and started going around to his entire family, showing off the book and some of his personal favorite strips- Even to one of his brothers that's in the military.For anyone that's in the military since it has most to do with the military people to make understanding connections, it for those with family in the military that also likes this artist/veteran, this is defiantly a good gift to give!

As a former Marine Corp Lance Corporal with the 1/2 out of Camp Lejeune, this is spot on. 100 percent brilliant. Thank you Max. I laughed and then laughed until I cried. Best ever, Devil Dog. Err.

I’ve been following this web comic for years and it’s perfect in its absurdity. Truth is inherent wherever you find it, and the fact that this is a comic strip makes the truths contained within no less poignant.And since my fellow Marines might be reading this..Hey man, it’s funny as gosh-darn heck.. he talks mad doody and it’s like he knows what it’s like. But this poopy is hilarious.[Amazon rejected my first review for use of the F Word and the S Word]

Great book to reminisce about my time in the Marine Corps. I was also stationed in Hawaii, so even the life on MCB Hawaii jokes were relevant to me.The explanation for some the strips are great and true. I share them with my wife who was never associated with military life, and she gets the jokes and issues. Marines getting married to move out of the barracks, or being terrible at financial management are all things I remember having similar observations about.

Whether you think they're the most cherished or the most reviled (or both), the Lance Corporals' view of life in the Corps is nowhere better presented than in these collected strips. Take everything you think you know about them from Hollywood movies and toss it out the window. This is USMC life written and illustrated by a man who lived it.

Reading this brought back some memories. I especially love the progression of his artistic talent and seeing it improve through the years, you never really notice the effort he put into refinement until they are all line up like this. If you love the comic strip, you wouldn't want to miss out on an Omnibus that will actually being not to America.

This is a great collection of all of Max’s Terminal Lance comics including those published in the Marine Corps Times. It is wild to see how his style and characters developed since the first comic, and I enjoyed the updates with some of the blog entries he made with the comics. I would highly recommend.

Starting a new job at a marine base. Reading Terminal Lance gives me an idea of what the Marines I interact with are all about.

As a Brit, there's a few bits I don't understand, but as a serving soldier i get the humour, and can relate! A fine effort from across the pond!

Love this collection. Informative, touching and funny as hell.
