Love and Rockets #8
In "Enrique's Burden," Jaime Hernandez delivers another richly observed chapter in the Love and Rockets saga, spotlighting a tense first encounter between Tonta and Maggie that erupts over a stolen hat. With the quiet intensity and emotional precision that define his work, Hernandez charts the ripple effects of a single moment—Judy’s sudden departure from her life drawing session after witnessing Maggie comforted by art teacher Ray—setting the stage for deeper connections and quiet reckonings. The cover by Beto captures the mood with a striking, intimate portrait that hints at the personal weight carried by the characters.
