Love and Rockets #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "La Maggie La Loca," Jaime Hernandez delivers a richly drawn, quietly charged story as Maggie, on the cusp of forty, retreats to Rena’s isolated tropical island for a quiet getaway. What begins as a chance to escape the noise of everyday life quickly unfolds into something far more unexpected—though the full nature of that shift remains tantalizingly just out of reach. The vibrant art and layered storytelling, with Jaime Hernandez handling writing, art, inks, and letters, are matched by Steven Weissman’s evocative coloring, all framed by a striking cover collaboration from Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.
Maggie, approaching her fortieth birthday, seeks quiet at Rena’s remote tropical island retreat—only to find herself drawn into a world of strange rhythms and quiet intensity. As the island’s rhythms blur with memory and longing, Maggie’s visit becomes something neither she nor Rena could have predicted.
In "Venus and You," Venus joins her friends at the premiere of Fritz's latest film, a remake of a remake titled *Lie Down in the Dark*—a movie whose original role was played by her mother, Maria. The evening unfolds with quiet tension and unspoken histories, as the past and present blur beneath the glow of the theater lights.
