Publisher's Synopsis

Building on the success of the Love and Rockets series by rebooting the ongoing comic to a fat, all-new annual graphic novel, Jaime launches the new format with a story that's unusual, even for him - a full-on, pulse-pounding super hero yarn. Maggie's longtime friend has finally realised her dream of acquiring super powers, but at a terrible personal cost. Gilbert Hernandez explodes with a similarly generous helping of his fantastically creative one-shot short stories. This is more than 100 pages of Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez at the peak of their powers.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
