In the Hernandez bros' long-running, multi-generational comic book series, Maggie attends the punk reunion with or without Hopey, and Fritz and Mila try to outshine each other in the movie The Magic Voyage of Aladdin.
In this eighth annual volume of New Stories, Jaime takes us to the punk reunion that Maggie & Hopey were road tripping to last issue. Will Hopey actually show up, or will Maggie have to go it alone? Hell, will anybody show up? Lots of old friends and enemies make appearances in the second chapter of this latest Locas epic. Also, what happened to Princess Animus? The film may have broke but the movie was most definitely not over. All this and Tonta, too! Meanwhile, Gilbert serves up the second and concluding part of ?The Magic Voyage of Aladdin,? which establishes the rivalry of its two stars, Fritz and Mila. Who?s Mila, you ask? And to make matters worse, who are the Fritz lookalikes that are coming out of the woodwork? You?ll have to read Love and Rockets: New Stories to find out!
