Jordan Crane praises new Jaime Hernandez story in Love & Rockets

Jordan Crane is saying this, so I believe it.

In the new issue of Love and Rockets (New Stories, no.3), Jaime has a story called Browntown. It just might be the best thing he’s ever done. In fact, I’d go so far as to say, it just might be the best comic I’ve ever read. It’s construction is durable yet intricate, a bunch of simple parts working together flawlessly. It’s put together like a watch.

Looks like I'm going to make a trip Meltdown this weekend.

Over many years of comic collecting, I found nothing better than Love and Rockets.
