Bundled Extra: A Reminder That Love And Rockets Is Headed Back To Comics Format

I'm pretty sure that this was announced earlier, but I was reminded over the weekend while interviewing Jaime Hernandez that Los Bros are switching back to comic-book format after the next literary-digest formatted issue. That's interesting to me because it's done for creative reasons rather than commercial ones. The idea is that with a comic book, you get a greater opportunity to find closure within making comics in a way that makes for better work per thousand pages. Paul Pope has expressed a similar desire, but has less control over recent products. The fact that the digest size pulled Love Bunglers out of Jaime and he still feels this way is a sign of a very confident artist. I'll follow Love & Rockets wherever it goes.

Jaime also revealed that he's interested in the character Gomez perhaps ahead of his audience's interest in same, which means we may get a comic about that character someday.
