Description: Love and Rockets: New Stories #5 by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, published by Fantagraphics Books in 2012. Signed and dated (2015) in black ink (looks like Sharpie) by both Bros on the front cover. In the annual installment of the long-running comic series, Ray's ex, The Frogmouth, gets a visit from her sister; Luba's granddaughter, Killer, stars in a movie inspired by their family. How do you follow up a one-two punch like Jaime Hernandez's stunning two-part masterpiece "The Love Bunglers" from LRNS #3 and #4, which sent Maggie and Ray's relationship in a startling new direction, as well as providing some mind-blowing revelations about Maggie's (and her family's) past? If you're Jaime, you deftly move sideways and switch focus to other characters, specifically Ray's ex, the rambunctious "Frogmouth." In "Crime Raiders International Mobsters and Executioners," Muneca, the Frogmouth's half-sister, comes to visit for a weekend and sees what kind of life the Frog Princess is living with Reno and Borneo — as well as a brand new character or two. On the other-brother side, Gilbert Hernandez celebrates the 30th anniversary by bringing one of his current characters ("Killer," granddaughter to the legendary Luba) into the Palomar milieu in a story that showcases a fictionalized "movie" Palomar (starring Fritz as a combination of Luba and Tonantzín), even as it brings back a number of the classic Palomar characters for real. This will be a much-anticipated homecoming for fans of the "classic" Love and Rockets of the 1980s. Thirty years in, Love and Rockets continues to surprise and delight..
