{"product_id":"9781606995396","title":"God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls","description":"The \"director's cut\" edition of the sprawling super-hero epic from Love and Rockets.Originally serialized in Love and Rockets New Stories, “Ti-Girls Adventures” managed to be both a rollickingly creative super-hero joyride (featuring three separate super-teams and over two dozen characters) that ranged from the other side of the universe to Maggie’s shabby apartment, and a genuinely dramatic fable about madness, grief, and motherhood as Penny Century’s decades-long quest to become a genuine super-heroine are finally, and tragically, fulfilled.In addition to introducing a plethora of wild new characters, God and Science brings in many older characters from Jaime’s universe, some from seemingly throwaway shorter strips and some from Maggie’s day-to-day world (including some real surprises). The main heroine of the story, forming a bridge between the “realistic” Maggie stories and the super-heroic extravaganza is “Angel,” Maggie’s sweet-tempered and athletic new roommate and best friend, and now herself an aspiring super-heroine.Aside from being presented in a large format that really displays Jaime Hernandez’s stunning art, God and Science will be a “director’s cut” version that includes a full 30 new pages in addition to the original 100-page epic, including four new full-color faux Ti-Girls covers, several expansions of scenes, an epilogue set back in Maggie’s apartment, and a long fantasy\/timewarp sequence that draws the focus back on Penny’s awful predicament.","brand":"Fantagraphics Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058896158960,"sku":"9781606995396","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606995396_p0.jpg?v=1763831363","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606995396","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
