The Milksops go over one of Will Hines' all-time favorite comics: Love and Rockets. Done (mostly) by two Mexican-American brothers, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, Love and Rockets mixes sci-fi, soap opera, folk tales, sexuality, surrealism and sometimes even good 'ol superheroes to make one of the coolest and most innovative comics ever. Published in various forms since 1981, this is a mammoth comics run. To spare our listeners (much) of Will just rambling forever, we are doing only 2 eps on this series. For this one, we focus on Jaime and in particular his late 80s story "The Death of Speedy." We talk about Jaime's superb art, the confident use of flashbacks, the assumption that you, the reader, are noticing all the detail in the panels, the aimless plot, the beautiful character moments, the mxiture of cartoonish styles with realistic drawing. Kevin assures Will that the story is not as hard to understand for newbies as he fears. Next ep: Gilbert and Heartbreak Soup.
