Go, Read: Jaime Hernandez Profile

A nicer than usual and more comprehensive than necessary profile of the seemingly always underappreciated Jaime Hernandez, maybe 10 percent nicer because it treats him as an artist distinct from his brother Gilbert, as opposed to the Ricky Morton in comics' all-time tag team. Jaime promises a slightly easier road for Maggie in the near-future after the harsher recent stories. I like the supplementary material here, too. It's interesting to think that as good as the Locas book is, it contains neither "Spring 1982" or "Flies on the Ceiling," which are both phenomenal. Anyway, I don't have anything to say of value except I wanted to have enough words in this posting to run the kind of pitch-perfect panel the cartoonist drops into his comics with alarming regularity.
