04.2 – Anthology Titles

There have been multiple anthology books released by Rob Liefeld. These include Extreme #0, Extreme Hero #1, Maximum Hero #1, and the 11-issue series Asylum.

Some Liefeld-verse titles had stories in these books. Some older, indie properties were given new life in these books. Some properties appear in these titles and nowhere else.

I will explore these property-by-property and place the anthology stories in the context of related titles.
