Gilbert Hernández - 2011

With Love and Rockets: New Stories #3, Jaime Hernandez returned to his beloved Loca Maggie after a three-year hiatus, and the resultant stories one ( The Love Bunglers ) set in the here and now detailing Maggie s continued romantic travails, and one, the heartrending Browntown (which was immediately hailed as one of the very best stories in the 30-year history of the series), set in her teenage days and involving some previously unseen members of her family.Love and Rockets: New Stories #4 picks up both of these storylines, first with the conclusion to Love Bunglers (did Maggie really dump Ray again?), then with a sequel of sorts to Browntown in which teenage Maggie returns to Hoppers and a new life.Meanwhile, on the Gilbert side of town, High Soft Lisp s Fritz returns in Talkabout, a 15-page dialogue with an old beau.

Second up is the 35-page King Vampire: Two lovable teens, Cecil and Trini, want to join a local vampire club but real vampires show up and things get serious. Cecil loves it but Trini has her doubts about going all the way. But wait is this a real story or another Fritz movie ? Some of the characters look awfully familiar
