Love and rockets by Hernandez Bros.

i liked how it is very contemporary because i could relate to the comic more. It portrayed how teenagers are "rebels" towards their parents where they do not show any respect to them, they show sex hints in the background, for instance, usage of posters on their walls, and there was drinking and smoking cigarettes with swear words in the mix.  Even in the beginning a character referred his sister as a bitch.  Also this comic portrayed the drama that comes with being a teenager, it had a "love" story sort of, maybe more of crushes, and then how joey wanted to find his record really bad but it kept being handed off to another person and every time he went to that person they handed it off to someone else.  The only thing was that i got so interested into the story about all the characters and it ended so abruptly and very confusing. I will never know if joey will find his record, i will never know what happens to joey and tom tom, and i will never know if izzy and the girls will find a new house since they are being kicked out.  But i really enjoyed the simple illustrations, the black and white worked out, normally i do not like black and white comics i chose color over it, but i had no complaints about reading this comic.  I was very amused and satisfied besides the ending.
