And that's it for now...
At long last, Fantagraphics has released the 7th and final Love and Rockets reprint volume: AMOR Y COHETES. Collecting all the "extras" from Los Bros Hernandez' pioneering independent comic series, this volume contains anything that didn't fit with the regular Locas or Palomar stories. In addition to Jaime and Gilbert, there are a few contributions from Mario Hernandez, who helped to get the ...

The Education of Hopey Glass (Love & Rockets)

Jaime Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 2008

Rather good umpteenth Love & Rockets episode
Though I wonder what new comers would think about this new tome in the long standing Love & Rockets series, the veteran reader of the series that I am finds it quite good. Gone are the days of sci-fi, super heroines, punk rock, surreal events and the like -- but some of it finds its way in this book. We now find our dear Hopey and Maggie in adult life crisis. Though not exactly desperate ...

Fantagraphics Books, 2004

One of the best comic dramas ever written.
I'm just going nuts for Fantagraphics lately. They've already granted my wish with their dedication to publish beautiful reprint volumes of every Charles Schultz Peanut strip ever made, and now that they've collected all of the Maggie and Hopey stories from Love and Rockets in a giant 700 page hardcover volume. The original Love and Rockets comics, which during their initial run, were ...

Music for Mechanics (Complete Love and Rockets, Book1) Vol. 1

Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 1995

Brilliant
Jaime and Gilbert drew and wrote their hearts out from the beginning of this series and onward. The characters will draw you in, befriend you, make fun of you, and keep you wanting more. THis series is still a rarity amongst "alternative" comics, in its smartly told and...expertly drawn tales. Much of what passes for alternative in either comics or music is either pure rubbish or promising ideas ...

Perla La Loca (Love and Rockets)
Jaime Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 2007

The third volume of Locas stories from Love and Rockets . Perla la Loca begins with the graphic novel "Wigwam Bam," arguably Jaime Hernandez's definitive statement on the post-punk culture. As Maggie, Hopey, and the rest of the Locas prowl Los Angeles, the East Coast, and parts in between trying to recapture the carefree spirit of those early days—except for Izzy, who tries to flee and ultimately, ironically, is the one who finds Hopey ...

some of jamie's best and most horrific
This the 22nd volume of the collected love and rockets comic series (now under the name a new love). This volume focuse on one the most beloved characters of the series Maggie. Maggie is a insecure aging punk who is always aware she is getting older, bigger, and trying to still live up to her punk ethics. Maggie and on again off again love intrest Hopey made up the punk side of love and rockets ...

I need more!!!
While I have always admired Jaime Hernandez' art and was familiar with the characters from his stories in Love and Rockets, I had never actually read any of the stories featuring his creations Maggie, Hopey, Rand Race, Rena Titanon, and Penny Century. Reading MAGGIE THE MECHANIC, the first volume in an all-new 25th anniversary series of chronological reprints, I can say that it's probably a good ...

Maggie and Hopey Forever!
More wonderful Love And Rockets comics from the master, Jaime Hernandez. Along with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime (aka Xaime) Hernandez has created some of the most compelling comics of the past few decades. He is a skilled artist and an insightful writer. Nothing is forced, yet everything seems perfect. While Love and Rockets stories meander, Jaime always seems to come back to his ...

Mister X Archives (Archive Editions (Graphic Novels))
Dean Motter, Jaime Hernandez, ...

Dark Horse, 2008

When Mister X hit the shelves twenty-five years ago, no one had ever seen anything like it - a fusion of film noir, Art Deco, and German Expressionism channeled through the talents of the greatest up-and-coming artists of the day. The story of a utopian city with architecture that drove its inhabitants mad and the never-sleeping architect who quested tirelessly for a cure, Mister X captivated a generation of comics fans and creators, ...

Fantagraphics Books, 2007

Maggie Forever
I fell for her hard. It was the kind of relationship you wanted to last forever, but all your sleepless nights only drew you to the end. I tried to quit her, or space our time so that we could be together forever, but I rushed it, and now I have to start all over. This book kept me up nights when I wasn't reading it. That's how good it is.

Love and Rockets Vol. 5: House of Raging Women (Love and Rockets (Graphic Novels))
Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 1996

Fifty issues--collected into 15 volumes that total 2,000 pages--the Hernandez brothers' Love and Rockets is an enormous achievement that helped to create a new audience for comics. Notable for their strong female characters and their focus on relationships, rather than on traditional comic-book 'action', the stories collected in this volume, and the rest of the series, show how the comic format can be used to create characters and situations ...

Love and Rockets X (Complete Love and Rockets Series No. 10) Vol.10 (Love and Rockets (Graphic Novels))

Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 2000

A low point for Beto...
One of my least favorite of these 15 incredible volumes -- why? Basically, there's a fine line between letting your characters have strong opinions and proselytizing through your characters -- in LOVE & ROCKETS X, Senor Hernandez seems (unfortunately) rather too snug on the latter side of that boundary, and the work suffers for it. The diversity of the characters seems incredibly forced here -- ...

Wigwam Bam (Complete Love and Rockets Book 11) Vol. 11

Wigwam Bam, probably the best Love and Rockets Book ever
Wigwam Bam has to be Jaime Hernandez' most compelling comic book ever. It mainly focus on Hopey and the residents of Hoppers, as Maggie (Hopey's girlfriend) leaves Hopey after a snooty party. From then on Maggie doesn't turn up again. In wigwam Bam, we find out more about Hopey and that she actually does love Maggie and has a heart. We also get to delve deeper into Isobel's twisted psyche as ...

Get This Book
Los Bros. Hernandez are beyond description; I wish that the words brilliant, dazzling, ingenious, eminent, extraordinary, remarkable, and phenomenal, were fresh off the wordsmith's tongs, but as it is, they're simply too tarnished to gleam brightly enough for Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez. Through Love and Rockets the Bros. have done for the graphic novel what Shakespeare did for the sonnet or ...

Death of Speedy (Complete Love and Rockets, Volume 7)

Jaime Hernandez

Fantagraphics Books, 1989

Crying - for a *comic book character*?
All of Jaime Hernandez' work for the Love and Rockets comic series is terrific, but this particular book is especially well done. The story of life in the barrio of LA is alternately funny and brutal (sometimes within the same page). Maggie, Speedy, Ray, and the rest of the characters are easy to identify with and care about. The art is also fantastic. Go read

Another winner from Gilbert; maybe the best HB Soup story
Gilbert Hernandez outdid himself with every new installment of "Heartbreak Soup". As he took his characters through each realistic and dramatic experience, they grew more lifelike, and the reader gained something close to friendship with then. Every one of his stories of Palomar affected me in a way; this one probably had the greatest impact. The book begins with a few typical, cute Palomar ...

Sure Quality, High Entertainment
This comic is an absolute treasure. After purchasing the book at a comic shop, I spent my first few minutes paging through the various images, reading every third page or so, on the subway ride home. At a random glance, the artwork is of such high quality, every emotion is immediately obvious. A complete read of the book gave a lot more insight into the genius of this work. The book is about ...

Pure, delightful sillyness
You know, as much as I appreciate the plethora of "Bizarro" reviews for this book, I feel there should be at least ONE straight review for people who aren't in on the joke. So in case you don't quite get it -- Bizarro is Superman's imperfect duplicate. Everything he does is the opposite of Superman. That's pretty much the gist of it. This book collects the "Tales From Bizarro World" series from ...

Another Hernandez Book of Genius
This book is excellent (I just had to write this to make the rating go up so sorry for the bad review...).
