I wanted to like it and although I like the characters I find the way the storyline and dialogue flows choppy. Also I wasn't into the style of drawing.

I'm assuming this is part of a continual series because I had no idea what was going on. Quickly abandoned it after figuring out the entire graphic novel continued this plot. As far as I know, there aren't any more of these stories at the library sooooo...

I liked the second story here, "Hypnotwist" which follows the teenage character "Killer" through a surreal world. The other stories focused on a group of superhero characters, the Ti-Girls including Maggie and Angel, who are also non-superhero characters in other Hernandez stories. Perhaps all the other members of the superhero team are as well, I am admittedly new to Hernandez's work. But I just didn't quite understand what was going on in the Ti-Girl stories, and couldn't quite muster much interest in them.

A great addition to L&R. The end of the Ti-Girls adventure is a hoot, and Beto's story, Sad Girl, is great. I loved the art used in Hypno-Twist, and I continue to absolutely adore Jaime's art throughout.

Great stuff, as always. The return to Palomar was welcome, as always, even if it ended in such a nihilistically violent fashion (I shouldn't have been surprised). Vivian's half-sister, Tonta, was a great new character, and it was great to see some more of Doyle's story. I love every time I get to come back to the world of Love & Rockets.

Only 4 stars because there's a tooooon of Fritz in here, and I tend to not really enjoy Fritz stories. The Maggie story at the back is beautiful as always, and the other Jaime stuff is great.

The Jaime stuff was great (as always), but the central Gilbert story took a second reading for me to appreciate and, after that, I wasn't sure it was worth it to me. I've gotten tired of stand-ins for Luba.

The problem with the New Stories format is the long wait between volumes. In this case, I felt fairly lost in both Jaime's and Gilbert's stories, although I thought it was less of a problem with Jaime's.

I really wish I could just get the Jaime stories and skip the Gilbert stuff. There's a great emotion-packed Maggie and Hopey story wherein we get a big reunion of a ton of characters at a punk show. Jaime also contributes some excellent sci-fi stories which show off his excellent design sense. But the Gilbert stuff appears to be going down the rabbit hole as we get Fritz and Fritz pretenders in more and more decadent and convoluted settings.

This deserves a second reading. I realized I blaze through the superhero parts and linger over the everyday life parts, so Hernandez got me with a story that blends both... I need to go back and read at the slower speed. Hypnotwist was my favorite part though.
