While we'd never be so snide as to suggest that Max Hardcore's work is formulaic, this latest volume of the formidable Mr. H's mastery does follow a familiar (and apparently very marketable) pattern, with the Hard One penetrating and humiliating a series of emaciated, dolled up "fuck toys." Lots of mean-looking anal and "You mean, do it like this, mister?" fuck banter are on tap here, and Jade Marcella's tube-assisted auto-felching is, admittedly, kinda cute.
