Posted on by

In this eighth annual volume of New Stories, Jaime takes us to the punk reunion that Maggie amp Hopey were road tripping to last issue Will Hopey actually show up, or will Maggie have to go it alone Hell, will anybody show up Lots of old friends and enemies make appearances in the second chapter of this latest Locas epic Also, what happened to Princess Animus The film may have broke but the movie was most definitely not over All this and Tonta, too Meanwhile, Gilbert serves up the second and concluding part of The Magic Voyage of Aladdin, which establishes the rivalry of its two stars, Fritz and Mila Who s Mila, you ask And to make matters worse, who are the Fritz lookalikes that are coming out of the woodwork You ll have to read Love and Rockets New Stories No 8 to find out New Read Love And Rockets [ by ] Gilbert Hernández [ Kindle ePUB or eBook ] – kino-fada.fr I saw this at the library and did what I usually do if I possibly can when I pick up a volume from Los Bros I sit down and read it all the way through Now, in recent years I can t always say exactly what is going on in all of the stories from either Jaime or Fritz, they are sometimes intoexperimental and bizarre alternative stuff, they are into their pulpy root...I liked what Beto did in the previous issue, but he burns through that good will here The Fritz imitators storyline has achieved Poison River levels of abstruseness, but with none of that story s political resonance or interesting characters Jaime s Princess Animus sci fi serial is pleasantly aimless and bonkers, and the Tonta Frogmouth Angel storyline is slow moving but fun The main reason to read is the conclusion to the most recent Maggie Hopey storyline view spoiler Jaime likes to I liked what Beto did in the previous issue, but he

least Gilbert is trying everything, and pushing on with du...In which going by the other reviews here Jaime gets the love and Beto the rockets Jaime deserves the love of course his gorgeous artwork and the next stage of the Maggie and Hopey reunion are standouts but Beto deserves the love too.Repeating my thoughts on 7 initially I wasn t sure what to make of Beto s B movie obsession, but it s really building into what is probably one of the most ambitiously complex storylines ever attempted in graphic form the constant intercutting between In which going by the other reviews here Jaime

New Stories volumes, this one benefits most from reading rereading its predecessor immediately before With both brothers contributions, the links between the narrative elements in no 7 and no 8 are almost inextric...Picked up this volume for the last storyJaime s punk reunion with Maggie and Hopey which was wonderfully nostalgic Didn t much get into the other stories here Gilbert s work just isn t my thing.The Fritz stuff just drags, hard to get through But everything else rules, especially, obviously MH.I think this is the last installment of the current volume of Love and Rockets, and it s a decent one, although not really an ending at all It mostly continues whatever Jaime and Gilbert have been doing for the last few years, and they ll presumably keep doing the same in the next volume Of the two, I really don t get whatever is going on in Gilbert s stories lately, with a ton of copies, clones, and descendants of his character Fritz hanging around, making porn, and arguing over fame But I s I think this is the last installmen...I m always excited to get the new volume of Love and Rockets This one my opinion was really split though between Gilbert and Jamie s work Jamie had some beautiful science fiction funny stories The wonderful Tonta whose gone to live with her sister, and Maggie at the punk reunion which was brilliant and the last couple panels just killed me Plus Terry and Izzy Though would have loved to have seenof both of them it was good to know they were still alive and hanging around Gilbert wa I m always excited to get the new volume of Love and Rockets This

they publish I am not however without my favorites and I have to confess I m sick unto death of the Fritz story an ironic take on sex and fame that grew thin for me perhaps as long as a decade ago Fritz and her imitators, lovers, and kin dominate this volume and I found myself flipping pages just to get through Talent and on to the other, better As noted in my little review of New Stories 7, I m a Love and Rockets fan from the beginning of the brothers career and try never to miss anything they publish I am not however without my favorites and I have to confe...
