Love and Rockets: New Stories Number 4
If there's one thing to say about Love and Rockets, it's that as far as comics go, it is curiously addictive. Love and Rockets is the long-running black-and-white comic series by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez—an exploration of the life of chica Maggie and the ripped-from-life and put-out-there-baldly environment she occupies. I had always wanted to read it, since discovering an issue decades ago at Waldenbooks, and I had always assumed it was an examination of the L.A. punk scene of the Eighties—I think the issues back in those days, or at least the one I discovered, featured two lesbians, one of whom was depicted as a punk rocker. I remember a drawing of a post-punk gothy guy with a Cure T-shirt. Ah, nostalgia waves hit me so hard.

Invented Original Characters: Jesse Lafontaine
Growing up my dream job was to be a comic book artist/writer. But with very little artistic talent that dream died pretty quickly. Now I do my best to bring my characters to life using apps like factory of heroes, swordmaker, armormaker, you doodle and photo cutout. They don't always turn out looking very good but I get more excited about the concepts and stories behind the characters than how well I can make the character look good. Sometimes my characters are from cultures I am not a part of because I think it fits their story or other aspects about them. I am not a cultural expert but at the very least I hope no one is upset by me using aspects of cultures I'm not a part of and find interesting. That said below is my original character Jesse Lafontaine.

Lilo & Stitch (2025): Does the Live-Action Remake Capture the Original's Magic?
Some animated films feel less like movies and more like childhood memories. The 2002 classic Lilo & Stitch is one of them. It was a quirky, emotional, and refreshingly different story that taught a generation about 'Ohana'—the idea that family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. So, when Disney announced a live-action remake, the collective reaction from fans was a mix of excitement and nervous hesitation. Could they possibly recapture the lightning in a bottle that made the original so special?
