Poison River is a dizzying period piece often hailed as one of Hernandezs masterpieces. It traces the pre-Palomar childhood of Luba, her teenage marriage to gangster Peter Rio, the secrets behind her mysterious mother, all the way up to her subsequent escape and arrival in Palomar. This story introduces a number of characters and themes that occupied later issues ofLove and Rockets (including Lubas mother Maria and her sinister guardian angel Gorgo), and is a riveting page-turner besides, with lots of sex, drugs, guns, politics, and women who can crack walnuts with their stomachs. Love and Rockets X, set in the early 1990s (in the waning years of Bush Is post-Reagan hangover, with Gulf War I in the background), takes us from plush Beverly Hills to the dangerous east side and introduces us to a dizzyingly diverse cast of characters, including a lowlife rock n roll band, a posse of black youths, a ditzy Hollywood mom and her spoiled son, a gay activist filmmaker and his rebellious, half-Iraqi daughter, and a group of racist thugs whose violent attack on an older woman sets the plot in motion--as well as bringing in several older characters, including a couple of Palomar expatriates Beyond Palomar is a wildly original diptych of graphic novels by one of the great cartooning talents of the last quarter century.
