The Complete Love & Rockets #6

In "Locas vs. Locos," tensions rise as Joey and Doyle chase down a missing Ape Sex record, only to hit dead ends with every friend they ask. Meanwhile, Maggie struggles with her old injury, Izzy faces eviction, and Hopey scrambles to find shelter—until Terry steps in with an unexpected offer. The house Izzy moves into, long rumored to be haunted, becomes the unlikely center of their shifting lives.

In "Duck Feet," Luba finds herself trapped in a deep hole, too proud to call for help, while a mysterious bruja arrives in town with unsettling intentions. Sheriff Chelo watches nervously as the bruja demands to tend to her feet, unaware of the tension building beneath the surface. When Boots steals the bruja’s leather sack—containing a baby skull—the object tumbles into the hole, striking Luba, and igniting a silent, charged confrontation between the bruja and Chelo.

In "null," Doyle helps Maggie and Hopey haul their sleeper sofa up a hill to burn, the weight of the task mirroring the quiet burdens they carry. Amid the mundane chore, the women trade fragments of life at Mrs. Galindo’s wake, where Penny Century now stands as a married woman, her past a distant echo. Hopey’s evening takes a sharp turn after she keys a car in frustration, the alarm’s shrill cry cutting through the night, while later, unpacking at Terry’s, she stumbles upon Izzy’s hidden diary—its title, The Secrets of Life and Death vol. 5, a quiet mystery in the silence of her new space. Meanwhile, Maggie’s Aunt Vicki, once a champion wrestler, offers shelter, and Maggie agrees not out of desire, but out of pity, the gesture heavy with unspoken history.

In "null," Hopey finishes reading the latest entry in Izzy’s diary and is drawn into the mystery of Izzy’s trip to Mexico, prompting a memory of the girls’ teenage years. Flashing back to their punk days, Hopey plays a prank on Terry, then invites Maggie to a wild party at Del Chimney’s, where the past begins to ripple through the present.

In "Bullnecks and Bracelets," Israel Diaz grapples with the lingering shadow of his sister’s childhood disappearance, spiraling into a haze of late-night encounters, old friendships, and fleeting connections. Amid the quiet chaos of his days and nights, he drifts through memories and moments with figures like Pipo, Vicente, Tonantzin, and Mimi, each interaction a thread in a larger, unresolved tapestry.

In "Rocket Rhodes," Rocky Rhodes recounts the moment her life changed forever—how fleeting space portals became her only escape, leading her to the distant planet Mako Mato, where she now finds herself trapped between worlds. With Fumble, Dante, and Cheetah Torpedah part of her past, her journey into the stars becomes both a dream and a prison, leaving her suspended between memory and the endless void.
