Media release — exactly how do you comply with up a one-two punch like Jaime Hernandez’s stunning two-part masterpiece “The like Bunglers” from LRNS #3 as well as #4, which sent Maggie as well as Ray’s connection in a startling new direction, in addition to providing some astonishing revelations about Maggie’s (and her family’s) past?
If you’re Jaime, you deftly move sideways as well as switch focus to other characters, particularly Ray’s ex, the rambunctious “Frogmouth.” In “Crime Raiders worldwide Mobsters as well as Executioners,” Tonta, the Frogmouth’s half-sister, comes to go to for a weekend as well as sees what type of life the Frog Princess is living with Reno as well as Borneo — in addition to a brand new character or two.
On the other-brother side, Gilbert Hernandez celebrates the 30th anniversary by bringing one of his present characters (“Killer,” granddaughter to the legendary Luba) into the Palomar milieu in a story that showcases a fictionalized “movie” Palomar (starring Fritz as a combination of Luba as well as Tonantzín), even as it brings back a number of the traditional Palomar characters for real. This will be a much-anticipated homecoming for fans of the “classic” like as well as Rockets of the 1980s.
Thirty years in, like as well as Rockets continues to surprise as well as delight.
And yes, the letters column is back!
