Life Drawing - Jaime Hernandez

Ten years in the making (and torn from the pages of the legendary Love and Rockets), Jaime Hernandez''s newest graphic novel skillfully weaves two generations of his beloved characters into a satisfying story of love - both young and middle-aged. Life Drawing darts primarily between the youthful Tonta and the venerable Maggie. Tonta has a crush on her art teacher, Ray, as well as an axe to grind with an older woman in the neighbourhood. When Tonta finds that the woman, Maggie, is married to Ray, things get complicated. And Tonta does not handle complications well. Life Drawing showcases Hernandez''s brilliant talent for character, weaving relationships, rejections, infidelities, and adventures involving: Tonta''s self-involved sisters Vivian, Violet, and Muneca; her colorful pals Gomez, Judy Fair, and Brown Alice; her mother, the infamous ''Black Widow of the Valley''; and of course, the two great loves of Maggie''s life, Ray and Hopey. There''s also a forest spirit, two weddings, some cosplay, a little pole dancing, and page after page of breathtaking comics by the medium''s most wide-eyed romantic. Did we mention the weddings?
