The Hernandez family’s role in the history of comics is undeniable. With Love and Rockets, Gilbert Hernandez, along with his younger brother Jaime (and occasionally his older brother, Mario) have pushed the boundaries of what comics can do. In Roy #1, the family’s legacy expands, as Gilbert teams up with his daughter, Natalia! Fan favorite everyman Roy returns in a two-part story, teaming up with the Little Stunt Boy to deal with Roy’s arch nemesis — the Froat! Or, should we say: the Froats?!? They’re multiplying! Meanwhile, Natalia delivers a surreal eight-pager detailing an Alien spiritual encounter! It’s a family affair!
