I'll add to the chorus praising this book. I think Jaime has shown one of the absolute strengths of comics can be a long narrative that builds, changes and grows. I don't think many other mediums can claim a 30-year story like the one of Maggie, Hopey and Ray. Being along for the ride for the last 12 years or so of that ride has been awesome.

Jaime's return to his Maggie character is masterful. His story carries the emotional weight of catching up with old friends. His artwork has never been more perfect. In fact, "perfect" is the only word I can think of to use to describe Jaime's work here. I've long had respect for Jaime, and I feel like his Maggie and Hopey characters came of age with me in the '90s every bit as much as Peter Bagge's Buddy Bradley. But this issue has made me a convert. I've never seen such perfect cartooning. There it is again, that word. "Perfect". (Posted on 1/31/12)
