I have been getting these Love and Rockets collections from the Library–this one is likely the best that I have read so far.
Hopey moves around, becomes a school assistent, runs into old friends, and basically hangs out.
The magic realism is toned down from what I remember from my last Hopey Book–as were the punk rock references and street culture. There are a lot of comic references–they even go to a con, argue with a guy in a batman cowl, and other comic artists (Bagge, Clowes, etc) are mentioned.
The ended was some of the best stuff I have seen in a long tim.
An extremely strong book that I enjoyed a lot.
