Love and Rockets

One of the more interesting reads of the semester, Love and Rockets by Gilbert Hernandez and Jaime Hernandez. It contains multiple story lines but the 2 main ones are Gilbert's Palomar stories and Jaime's Hoppers 13.
One of the most interesting things about Love and Rockets is that it is not written like most male comics authors write, it actually treats the woman in it like real people and they are also the main focus of most of the stories. The girls are not some kind of fantasy proportioned people who are just objects of lust but complex characters who do not have perfect physic. They actually change over time realistically and gain weight something that doesn't normally happen in comics which is pretty amusing. I found that the authors where realy able to appeal to both males and females with theses comics and judging by what I have read of them they are actually geared for woman, but I was still able to enjoy it even still. I found that realistic female protagonists are most common in works that are meant for women.
