Love and Rockets, Vol. 1: Music for Mechanics by Gilbert Hernández

2.0

Neat sci-fi ideas, chaotic and uneven execution. I liked that the stories focused on diverse female characters and had some quirky weirdness to them. But while there are a few readable selections, most of the stories abandon a traditional narrative framework without replacing it with anything worth pushing through, and I often found myself bored and rushing to get to the end of a selection. I've heard such great things about this series that I may check out a later volume (first efforts are hard), but I would not recommend this one.
