Omfg way too much language shit: it literally has English, Spanish, French, Sci-fi jargon, and 80s lingo wrapped in nonsense. I read 40 pages of the first issue and I barely knew what was going on. From what I could gather, it's an artsy compilation is mix-matched stories that are bounded together by a female lead protagonist and may/may not be in the same universe.

It melted my brain, I need something easier to read than this.

60s retro-futurism dystopia in a noire aesthetic, whose lead character is an introverted, meth-addict anti-hero. The writing leaves a lot to be desired, and the dystopian elements are on the nose, but the concept and art direction are insane!

One of the greatest stories ever told. It's personal for me; I read the Maggie & Hopey stories as individual comics back when they came out, up until about 1992. To see these stories in one place in this gorgeous edition -- and to see what happened to Maggie after I fell away from the narrative -- was one of the most powerful reading experiences of my life. YMMV.
