#IReadsYou Review: LOVE AND ROCKETS VOL. IV #4

LOVE AND ROCKETS VOL. IV #4
FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS

CARTOONISTS: Gilbert Hernandez; Jaime Hernandez
EDITOR: Eric Reynolds
COVER: Gilbert Hernandez
BACK COVER: Jaime Hernandez
VARIANT COVER: Jaime Hernandez
36pp, B&W, $4.99 U.S. (November 2017)

Love and Rockets is the seminal alternative comic book series produced by brothers, Gilbert Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez.  It has been published since 1982 by Fantagraphics Books, where it started out as a magazine-sized comic book that ran for 50 issues (1983 to 1996).  It later returned for a 20-issue run as a standard-sized comic book, (Vol II, 2001-2007), and then, it became an annual graphic novel series which ran for eight volumes, Love and Rockets: New Stories (Vol. III, 2008-2016).  [It is important to note that Gilbert and Jaime do not collaborate, and that each brother has his own characters and stories.]

In late 2016, Love and Rockets Vol. IV returned the series to its comic magazine format that fans of the original series fell in love with and probably still love and prefer.  I prefer the original format, but I understand that for various reasons the brothers and publishers felt the need to initiate format changes at different times.

Under a front cover by Gilbert, Love and Rockets Vol. IV #4 offers six stories and vignettes, two by Gilbert (Beto) and four by Jaime.  The issue opens with Gilbert's “Since I Don't Love You,” which finds Pipo Jiminez deciding if she will travel to Palomar for the funeral of Soledad Marquez.  The rest of a story is a flashback covering the horrible consequences of the love triangle involving Pipo and Soledad & Manuel (stars of the original L&R story, “Heartbreak Soup”).  Later, Killer and Chino take an overview of Killer's... eccentric movie career as she embarks on a singing career.

On the Jaime side of things, the “Locas” girls' punk reunion has come to an end, but Jaime offers a trip back to 1979 and the days of the young punk Locas and Maggie's burgeoning crush on Hopey.  Plus, while Maggie's away, Doyle will play, but his playmate, Sonny, specializes in wearing out his welcome.  Plus, Doyle learns about the “brick guy” who almost killed him by attempting to smash in his head.  There is also some classic, Jaime sci-fi, as sisters Lumina and Isla reunite as the Anima situation turns more intense.

THE LOWDOWN:  I have not read an issue of Love and Rockets Vol. IV in almost five years, and that was Love and Rockets Vol. IV #3, which was at least two years old when I read it.  I just finished reading #4, which was published in 2017.  My, has time passed, but the passing has not confused me when it comes to Love and Rockets, especially as much of this issue is set in the time period the series covered during the first decade of its original run.

Gilbert's tale, “Since I Don't Have You,” recalls the heartbreak that is one of the defining characteristics of the fictional Mexican village of Palomar (the setting of many of Gilbert's stories) and the lives of its denizens.  Jaime's 1979 flashback recalls the Maggie and Hopey with whom I fell in love and the early stories in which Jaime essentially honed his craft.  I have a crush on Doyle, so any story about him, including this one that goes back to his near-death, I welcome with open arms.

I'll say this for sure:  Love and Rockets Vol. IV #4 reminds me that I need to engage another re-read of this series, which means going back to the beginning.  I honestly can't say that issue #4 will attract new readers, but it is chicken soup for the L&R fan's soul.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Love and Rockets will want to read Love and Rockets Vol. IV.

#IReadsYou Review: BIG GAME #5

BIG GAME #5 (OF 5)
IMAGE COMICS/Netflix

STORY: Mark Millar
ART: Pepe Larraz
COLORS: Giovanna Niro
LETTERS: Clem Robins
EDITOR: Sarah Unwin
COVER: Pepe Larraz with Giovanna Niro
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Dike Ruan with Giovanna Niro
52pp, Color, $7.99 U.S. (November 2023)

Rated M / Mature

Big Game is a five-issue comic book event miniseries from writer Mark Millar and artist Pepe Larraz.  Big Game is a crossover event series that pulls together all the franchises that are part of Millar's company/imprint, “Millarworld.”  That includes Kick-Ass, The Magic Order, and Wanted, to name a few.  Colorist Giovanna Niro and letterer Clem Robins complete the series' creative team.

Big Game is a sequel to the first Millarworld comic book miniseries, Wanted (2003-04).  The stars of that series, The Fraternity, the super-villains that secretly rule the world, defeated their superhero adversaries in 1986.  Now, this entity is concerned about the reemergence of superheroes, so it unleashes it new superhero killer, Nemesis (from Nemesis: Reloaded), on a hero-assassination spree.

Big Game #5 opens in Singapore, Moscow, and New York.  It is in these places that Diabolos the Sorcerer makes his announcement on behalf of his master, King Morax (Empress).  Diabolos has traveled millions of years from Earth's deep history in order to speak to the planet's true leader, Wesley Gibson, the secret Lord of the Earth (Wanted).

But for all the flexing Wesley and Diabolos will commit in front of each other, everything hinges on Hit-Girl/Mindy McCready (Kick-Ass).  Can she stop Nemesis' superhero murder spree before it starts … again?  Guest-starring the stars of The Ambassadors, Huck, Night Club, Starlight, and a surprise.

THE LOWDOWN:  I have been receiving PDF review copies of Netflix/Millarworld's comic book titles since late 2021.  Big Game #5 is the latest.

Big Game #5 is the end of, what is for me, the most readable comic book crossover event of the last fifteen years.  I have read some event series that started off grand and ended with a whimper (Marvel's recent Heroes Reborn).  I have read some that are full of sound and fury signifying nothing but perpetual noise (DC Comics' Dark Metal).

Writer Mark Millar and artist Pepe Larraz offer a satisfying ending that brings together all the elements, hooks, and twists from throughout Millarworld, although I will say that Big Game #5 doesn't have the big game of previous four issues.  This conclusion leaves me satisfied, and I am anticipating what comes next.

Millar seems to promise a brave new Millarworld going forward, and I want to be there.  So, dear readers, perhaps you should get that Big Game trade paperback for some good reading.  Add it to your gift list.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Mark Millar and especially of his Millarworld titles will want to read Big Game.
