YAMBAR & BRODERICK JR. JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDREN’S CANCER WITH LIFE MAXX COMIC!

When poet and musician BRENDA RIDER approached Chris Yambar and George Broderick, Jr., with the idea of developing a comic book for the A WAY WITH WORDS FOUNDATION, INC., that could reach today’s young people battling cancer, she came to the right place!
Imagine a superhero having to battle everything from the angry green aliens and killer robots to weirdo monster villain-types just to come home to his secret lair where he has to engage in a private battle with cancer.
“Normally you wouldn’t see this type of theme explored in a superhero comic. Children’s cancer just isn’t approached in this way,” Chris Yambar, the comic’s creator and writer, explained, “But that’s the whole point of LIFE MAXX. He doesn’t exhibit the victimized mindset that you’d expect to find with someone in his physical condition. Rather than concentrate on all the things that he can no longer do, LIFE MAXX focuses on all the things that he CAN do. That’s what makes him the ultimate hero, an overcomer. LIFE MAXX isn’t a cancer victim - he’s a cancer SURVIVOR!”
The first issue of LIFE MAXX focuses on the origin of the lead character where we see his progression from a promising teenage athlete, to

his battle with cancer, and his eventual emergence as one of Earth’s greatest protectors. The issue also introduces CHEMO GIRL, a metaphorical character who explains the chemotherapy process to a young girl who is having second thoughts about starting her treatment.
“Every once in a while there are projects that come along that you just must set time aside for no matter how much work you have on the drawing board at the moment,” adds LIFE MAXX artist and co-designer, George Broderick, Jr., “This is one of those projects.”
“No matter what the circumstances may be, there’s hope in what we do,” stated Brenda Rider, the comic’s co-creator and herself a cancer survivor, “There are far worse things in life to be concerned with than cancer. Giving up is one of them.”
The LIFE MAXX comic is being created with an outreach emphasis on the youth cancer reader and their encouragement as well as for the parents and the medical professionals in the field who can use this product to help them adopt the LIFE MAXX SURVIVOR mentality.
In addition to the initial comic, A WAY WITH WORDS FOUNDATION, INC., will be launching a line of positive LIFE MAXX HQ products, entertainment, and an interactive website that can be accessed for additional information on the fight against children’s cancer. Watch this space for more details!
