I really love Maggie's stories and I think Love and Rockets is gradually becoming one of my favourite comic series.

Now that I'm approaching being a completist, I have a particular appreciation for this volume because it's thematic, not just a chronological package like some of the others. Lots of Love and Rockets takes place in sleepy rural-ish towns, but usually the feeling is arid desert daytime, or party-sticky. This whole volume is spooky; one of my favorite themes is Maggie psyching herself out and getting scared when the reader knows there is nothing to be scared of, but the art actually does end up making me scared a little too.
