This popped up on Shopgoodwill a few weeks ago. I didn't need it since I've already read the stories but I didn't NOT need it either. How I could I say no to a Jaime Hernandez oversized hardcover? No one else bid on it so I got it for 8 bucks.
Anyway, the art in phenomenal, as usual. The story is a circuitous setup that sees Maggie returning to Hoppers to see how much her old neighborhood has changed and how much she's changed. Jaime Hernandez writes some of the most sensitive, thought-provoking stuff out there. Five out of five stars.

Now that I'm approaching being a completist, I have a particular appreciation for this volume because it's thematic, not just a chronological package like some of the others. Lots of Love and Rockets takes place in sleepy rural-ish towns, but usually the feeling is arid desert daytime, or party-sticky. This whole volume is spooky; one of my favorite themes is Maggie psyching herself out and getting scared when the reader knows there is nothing to be scared of, but the art actually does end up making me scared a little too.
