LGBT Comic Of The Week
I'd like to introduce you all to our first installment of LGBT Comic of the Week, in which we will pick an LGBT comic of interest for you guys to check out.
For our inaugural edition, we have chosen Los Bros Hernandez's (Gilbert and Jaime) seminal book, Love and Rockets. Specifically, Jaime's Locas series, which revolves around the on and off relationship of Hopey and Maggie. The realistic portrayal of the romance over the years (beginning with the early years of the California punk rock scene) between the two is what gives this book the title of Comic of the Week.
Refreshing, smart, and completely engrossing, Jaime has crafted a brilliant, intricate piece of storytelling that warrants a revisit if you're one of the few that already have experienced Love and Rockets.
Check out the latest collection, starting with the 25th anniversary trade, Maggie the Mechanic.
We'll save the equally brilliant Palomar stories, by brother Gilbert, for another feature.
