Although finding and reading through Love and Rockets sequentially is a challenge, I am always astounded at how well Los Bros Hernandez are able to portray the lives of their characters both with words and simple drawings. They do a better job than almost any other comic writers and illustrators at showing the day-in, day-out realities of queer women and other characters with various intersecting identities and personalities. The nudity, sex, and violence all strike me as realistic and not glamourized or placed for the sake of objectification or mere erotic gaze appeal.

Nice packaging, on a reasonably cohesive L&R collection. Overall an enjoyable read.

I checked this out thinking it a was a collection of earlier Love and Rockets stuff, but it's from the newer era - the 'Education' being Hopey's trying on a student teacher job...that ends up being a small part of the whole thing, and there's a lot of Maggie & Angel hanging at comic book parties, and Vivian & Ray. I enjoyed it, but I've read a lot of Love and Rockets at this point, most of it the newer stuff, and really wanted to know more about Hopey... this wasn't the place so I'm gonna have to finally read the original books.
