In "Everybody Loves Me, Baby," Jaime Hernandez crafts a poignant, character-driven moment as Hopey throws a divorce party for Maggie, weaving flashbacks from the early '80s to the present to unpack the relationship’s history—just for Mary’s sake. Tony’s unexpected arrival stirs tension, and after Maggie passes out drunk, Hopey and Tony share a quiet, revealing conversation about why he let her go. The issue’s emotional depth is matched by Hernandez’s signature art, with full interior and cover work by him.
