Drawing for Marines At the NMMC

Maximilian — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 05:37:54 +0000

You may have seen on our social media that I was invited to be the Guest of Honor at the Sunset Parade in DC later this month. When they approached me with the idea, I told them I’d love to make it to the museum and give a talk. Join me on June 16, 2026 […]

Secrets of Valor

Maximilian — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 05:33:08 +0000

If you’ve ever talked to someone trying to “steal valor,” or otherwise lying or embellishing about their military service, they almost always follow a particular pattern: Have you ever met a Marine? A real Marine doesn’t shut the fuck up about being a Marine and doing Marine stuff. A real Marine (or other service member) […]

May the 4th Be With You

Star Wars is a classic tale of good guys fighting bad guys to save the galaxy for all. The factions are clear and the stakes are straightforward enough that the films can appeal to nearly everyone. I’m too young to have watched Star Wars on its original release, but I was a kid when the […]

Generational War

Maximilian — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 02:38:37 +0000

We are here again. Twenty-three years after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the entire Middle East has exploded into a fury of fire and missiles centered on Iran and Israel. We as a nation find ourselves yet again staring down the barrel of sending our nation’s finest to fight a war in the region. […]

The New TL

Welcome to Terminal Lance 5.0 With many projects in the works, 2026 is bringing with it a new era of Terminal Lance. With it, I decided to build a new website to showcase the comic and act as a home base of sorts. Like many brands in the modern age, TL is spread out across […]

Hot Brass Day

Maximilian — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:50:07 +0000

You can always tell a Marine has been on the range by the kisses left on their necks from the hot brass of their battle-buddy’s rifle. The scars from spent casings flying directly into your neck decorate the skin of many Marines going back generations. It turns out, standing on a line and firing puts […]

Battlefield 6 – Review

Maximilian — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 19:01:32 +0000

I’ve always enjoyed the cat and mouse relationship that Battlefield and Call of Duty have had over the years. They seem destined to contrast each other with every release, with each one striving for different goals. As Call of Duty strays more toward slop territory, Battlefield 6 feels like a much-needed reset in the contemporary […]

Elden Ring: Nightreign – review

Maximilian — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 18:31:59 +0000

Like many gamers, I’ve been playing FromSoftware stuff for a long time now, dating all the way back to Demon’s Souls on PS3 over 15 years ago. When Elden Ring came on the scene back in 2022, it was a very solid culmination of years of refinement of Miyazaki’s “souls” formula brought to a new(ish) […]

16 Years of Terminal Lance

Maximilian — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:33:21 +0000

Today we celebrate 16 years of Terminal Lance! I launched TL in 2010 when I was still an active duty Lance Corporal stationed in Hawaii. I had just returned from my 2nd deployment to Iraq and still had about 5 months left before my EAS. At the time, it was a huge risk since no […]
