A kick in the gut
2010/12/23
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
I got this without having read any of the reviews. I have been a bit iffy on the Bros' output for the last few years; while it had its moments, I wasn't really getting the emotional impact that I had gotten from many of the earlier stories. I wasn't sure if the problem was that they just aren't coming out with the material often enough, or whether I was growing away from their storytelling sensibilities, or what.
Then came Vol. 3 of L&R: New Stories. Gilbert's work in here is interesting, but like much of the other recent L&R work, doesn't really grab me much. (I've loved a lot of his stuff in the past, though!)
But Jaime's work, including "Browntown" -- wow. When I finished the volume, I felt as if I'd been kicked in the gut. I immediately reread it, picking up details that I had missed earlier. And the impact, though not as surprising, was still there in the second read. This is the first time I've had this sort of emotional response from L&R in quite a few years now.
I don't want to give many details, because I think the story benefits from knowing very little going in, though knowing the background of Maggie, Ray, etc. will help a lot. Jaime's stories in this issue include current day stuff with Maggie, Ray, and Reno, along with a 1970s story of young Maggie and her family during the years they moved away from Huerta to live with her dad, and a shattering family secret.
I keep wanting to say more, but I'm afraid it would spoil it. If you are a Love and Rockets fan who has recently fallen away, get this. If you are unfamiliar with L&R, I'm not sure this is the place to start, but Jaime's story (there are three of them, but basically it's just one story with multiple chapters) can probably stand alone even without the previous knowledge of Maggie's background. That knowledge does make it richer, however.

A heavy volume

Both Jaime and Beto turn in stories with some pretty disturbing central elements this time out. Jaime's long story ("Browntown") is a dark, but very good, "young Maggie" tale, taking place during a time in her life we haven't seen much of yet (I loved bratty little Esther!). By contrast, the first of Beto's two stories seems designed to shock & disturb for oblique artistic reasons of its own; it's certainly, um, effective, but I wish I could "un-read" it. (Not my kind of thing.)
Both guys are working as much "on their own terms" as ever here, and fans of each will probably be satisfied (if somewhat weirded out). I personally would have liked more of a contrast in tone between the stories; because this volume is so grim, it's probably not one I'll revisit often. Just one longtime reader's opinion; your mileage may vary... :)

Where's the love?
2011/8/9
形式:ペーパーバック
I'm a fan of Gilbert Hernandez's recent graphic novels "Sloth", "Chance in Hell" and "Speak of the Devil" but I haven't gotten into the series that made Gilbert and his brother Jaime's names in the 80s - "Love and Rockets". Maybe this wasn't the place to start as it's obviously part of a much larger story with established characters but I thought it'd be interesting to read. And it was interesting for the most part. Strange but interesting.
The book is made up of short stories. There were some sci-fi stories involving alien/human hybrids that bordered on pornographic, another story involving another hugely breasted B-movie actress, and another featuring the Hernandez brothers' favourite, Maggie the Mechanic, as she starts dating an old friend.
This date story turns out to be the final part of a larger story that closes the book. Going back to her childhood, we get a harrowing story of Maggie and her family as their parents go through divorce and Maggie's brother endures a painful experience involving an older boy.
While I enjoyed the stories, they didn't involve me enough to want to seek out other books in the "Love and Rockets" series. The artwork is great and the stories definitely different and unique in the indie field, but they're either too out there and confusing (the sci-fi stuff) or disturbing to want to revisit anytime soon.
