These books were fun to read in their old graphic novel form, but the new versions have a bunch of issues together, and have much better covers. If you have read love and rockets, then the story is the same.....cool books cool people.

Gilbert Hernandez certainly has a peculiar and interesting way of portraying the small fictional town of Palomar in Mexico. From the beginning you can see where he wants to go with his storytelling with the integration of many characters all at once, almost bombarding you with each unique member of town. After a few issues, the key players are identified, and each aforementioned charcter is gradually reintroduced with a subtlety that presents them as familiar and intriguing throughout. I found myself constantly shocked and amazed, and ready for more.
