Love and Rockets #1

In "BEM: Chapter 1," Gilbert Hernandez introduces a surreal, emotionally charged journey as the enigmatic BEM, now inhabiting Paulo’s body, descends into the chaotic energy of San Sassafras, where revelry and intoxication blur with something darker. Meanwhile, Leonore grapples with loss, and Castle Radium’s shadowy pursuit of BEM stretches across continents, tightening the noose. The story unfolds with Hernandez’s distinctive blend of melancholy and absurdity, rendered in his signature style—both raw and precise—while Jaime Hernandez’s striking cover captures the eerie, dreamlike tension of the world within.
