Love and Rockets, still some of the most fun you can have outside the bedroom. Female super-teams, as discovered by Maggie and Angel, in a quest to save the world from the newly empowered Penny Century, plus lots of snippets and side-stories, and an ever-weird decade spanning tragic tale from Gilbert in his distinctive style.

It's not just that it's silly, or that it's smart, it's that it manages to re-envision previously minor characters into new heights, as well as always dropping truffle-like traces of wisdom and sadness, that flavour the whole piece.

Plus, it looks good. Not many independents consistently manage that for nearly thirty years!

The new graphic novel format that they have switched to in their production meets the needs of an industry that now includes bookshops and other non-comicbook outlets, keeping their exposure high and presumably their job easier and perhaps more lucrative. Perhaps a death-knell for individual comics, which is sad coming from such die-hard indepedents, but a fact of life: adapt or die.
