Volume 2 - 1st printing. By The Brothers Hernandez. This volume gets off to a flying start with "Hypnotwist," Gilbert's epic story of a beautiful, leggy redhead's surreal journey into a night filled with mysterious shady characters, dreamlike violence, and sparkling retro spike heels. Then, in the concluding 50-page chapter of Jaime's outrageous, acclaimed, superhero mash-up "Ti-Girls Adventures," our protagonist, rookie do-gooder Boot Angel, learns more hard lessons about becoming a superheroine. Eventually, just about the entire cast gets together for a reunion that unexpectedly takes place in Maggie's tiny bedroom apartment. Finally, Beto gets top heavy with "Sad Girl," and introduces Killer! the sweetest teen starlet of the solar system! Forget WATCHMEN, LOVE AND ROCKETS is the big one! Softcover, 104 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.99.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. By The Brothers Hernandez. After Jaime's two-part super-hero epic from Love and Rockets: New Stories #1 and #2, we return to the enthralling minutiae of the "Locas" cast's lives for the first time in three years. In the main story Ray finally gets his date with Maggie: The couple goes to an art opening and to dinner, they discuss the crazy world of dreams, and Maggie asks Ray for a huge favor. Also in this volume, "Brown Town, Blue Sun," a new installment in Jaime's beloved "little kids" flashback series: A ten-year-old Maggie and her family move away from Hoppers to a desert ghost town... And on the Gilbert side of the ledger, "Scarlet by Starlight" is a story starring Fritz (of High Soft Lisp fame) that (in contrast to #2's silent masterpiece "Hypnotwist") consists entirely of a 14-page dialogue scene. "Killer/Sad Girl/Star" picks up the "Sad Girl" character from LRNS #2, and how no one in her family takes her budding film career seriously. Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 9-in., 104 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.99.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. By The Brothers Hernandez. Love and Rockets: New Stories #4 picks up where #3 left off with the conclusion to "Love Bunglers" and a sequel of sorts to the acclaimed and heartrending "Browntown." High Soft Lisp's Fritz returns and in "King Vampire," two teens want to join a local vampire club but things get serious when real vampires show up. But wait - is this a real story or another "Fritz movie"? Some of the characters look awfully familiar! Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x 9-in., 104 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $14.99.
