LOVE AND ROCKETS VOL IV #17 (MR)

The one true World's Greatest Comics Magazine returns with Love and Rockets Vol. IV, issue 17. Fritz moves on, casually dumping the men in her life—except for a secret lover whose identity remains unknown. Back in Hoppers, Ray enjoys time with his brother and new sister-in-law, while Maggie confronts a family crisis that tests loyalties and resilience. Amid witty banter and grounded drama, readers are teased with questions about that mysterious ankle and how it will affect the characters' future. This issue showcases the collaboration of creators Gilbert Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez across writing and art, with Jaime providing the cover. A mature, character-driven snapshot of relationships, ambition, and small-town unease, it continues the ongoing Love and Rockets saga in a distinctive blend of humor, pathos, and painterly storytelling that has shaped alternative comics for decades.
