LOVE & ROCKETS MAGAZINE #3

(W/A/CA) Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez

What is "punk"? What did it all mean? What does it mean now? What will it mean in the end? The Locas girls's punk reunion has come to a close but the evening has just begun. Also, the Animus situation has gotten too BIG for reunited sisters Lumina and Isla. Meanwhile, on the Gilbert side: Fritz starred in a Dr. Who ripoff only to see her 10-year-old daughter take over the role before returning to the show's last episode 5 years later. Meanwhile, Fritz's newly reunited twin daughters get to (uncomfortably) know one another and meet a classic Palomar character (or three)!

JULIO'S DAY HC

(W/A) Gilbert Hernandez

Originally serialized in Love and Rockets Vol. II but never completed until now, Julio's Day is Gilbert Hernandez's latest graphic novel, a masterpiece of elliptical, emotional storytelling that traces one life through a series of enthralling vignettes. While Julio's Day has some elements in common with Hernandez's Palomar cycle, this is very much a standalone story that will help cement his position as one of the strongest and most original cartoonists of our time.

I fell in love with this story with it's first installment and have been waiting for almost twelve years for it to be completed. If you are one of the poor souls who has never read a comic by the Hernandez Brothers now would be an excellent time to right that wrong. Los Bros are the best creators of female characters in the business, and if there's one thing that Beto does better than women, it's children.

GOD AND SCIENCE HC RETURN OF THE TI GIRLS

(W/A) Jaime Hernandez

Jaime Hernandez's God And Science manages to be both a rollickingly creative superhero joyride that ranges to the other side of the universe and a genuinely dramatic fable about madness, grief, and motherhood. It has now been expanded from its original 100 pages to include 30 new pages including four new full-color faux Ti-Girls covers, several expansions of scenes and an epilogue.
