Love and Rockets: New Stories No. 5

Love and Rockets: New Stories No. 5

In the annual installment of the long-running comic series, Rayâ€™s ex, The Frogmouth, gets a visit from her sister; Lubaâ€™s granddaughter, Killer, stars in a movie inspired by their family.
How do you follow up a one-two punch like Jaime Hernandezâ€™s stunning two-part masterpiece â€œThe Love Bunglersâ€ from LRNSÂ #3 and #4, which sent Maggie and Rayâ€™s relationship in a startling new direction, as well as providing some mind-blowing revelations about Maggieâ€™s (and her familyâ€™s) past? If youâ€™re Jaime, you deftly move sideways and switch focus to other characters, specifically Rayâ€™s ex, the rambunctious â€œFrogmouth.â€ In â€œCrime Raiders International Mobsters and Executioners,â€ Muneca, the Frogmouthâ€™s half-sister, comes to visit for a weekend and sees what kind of life the Frog Princess is living with Reno and Borneo â€” as well as a brand new character or two. On the other-brother side, Gilbert Hernandez celebrates the 30th anniversary by bringing one of his current characters (â€œKiller,â€ granddaughter to the legendary Luba) into the Palomar milieu in a story that showcases a fictionalized â€œmovieâ€ Palomar (starring Fritz as a combination of Luba and TonantzÃn), even as it brings back a number of the classic Palomar characters for real. This will be a much-anticipated homecoming for fans of the â€œclassicâ€ Love and Rockets of the 1980s. Thirty years in, Love and Rockets continues to surprise and delight. 96
