Summary: Great fatasy involving family, friends, lovers and family
Comment: I only read a few of the books in the Love and Rockets series but enjoyed them tremendously. These books expanded my mind to the unique narratives comics can bring. This book is full of engaging characters you can care about. "Luba in America" is the latest adventures of Luba, a matriarch and a former mayor Palomar, a small town in Latin America. In this book, her family moved to United States but Luba's disfigured husband is not allowed into the country because of his drug-dealing past. Luba goes on mission to bring her husband to the family, asserting to everyone that she will kill to protect her family. All the while, she is haunted by her own past and conflict between her love for her husband and her longing for his past beauty. Then, there are her glamorous half sisters, each with their own flaws, selfishness, regrets, desires, and love for their family. I especially loved Venus, Petra's little daughter. She is pretty, smokes and reads gay porn comics, and she knows about adult matters, but yet she is too innocent to really understand them. When Petra trashes a comic book store after being rejected by her lover, the store clerk (and object of Venus' puppy crush), Venus and her friends mistakenly believes that Petra did that to get even for Venus' heartbreak. The daughter believes her mother is a hero. Later in the book, after a stressful car ride to Venus' appointment, Petra watches Venus run, murmuring "You are too young to hate me for real, Venus. In a few years though," it's so poignant and captures the heart of the book. This is one of those books you can read over and over again and still care about what happens to the people in it.
