Jaime Hernandez
The 25th anniversary Love and Rockets celebration continues with this, the first of three volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie, her annoying best friend and sometimes lover Hopey, and their circle of friends, including their bombshell friend Penny Century, Maggie's weirdo mentor Izzy as well as the wrestler Rena Titanon and Maggie’s handsome love interest, Rand Race... 'Maggie the Mechanic' collects the earliest, punkiest, most heavily sci-fi stories of Maggie and her circle of friends, and you can see the artist (who drew like an angel from the very first panel) refine his approach - Despite these strong shifts in tone, the stunning art and razor sharp characterizations keep this collection consistent, and enthralling throughout.

"I know this is a popular comic, but reading this it just feels like every independent black and white comic published in the 80s. Its not bad so much as unremarkable. That being said, there are certainly some good aspects to the book, and I'd like to see more of where this title goes, as I think the creators have a lot of potential and I imagine later volumes are excellent."
