I&#8217;ve  been wondering what she&#8217;s been doing as far as comics go, and it looks  like I finally have my answer. This is projected to be a 200 page  mystery and it gets off to a good start. For my money she&#8217;s the best of  the &#8220;kind of autobiographical but mostly just stuff I made up&#8221; school.  There&#8217;s probably a better term for that out there too but I summed it up  pretty well. It&#8217;s the story of Carla, a young woman in her late teens,  moving to Mexico more or less for the hell of it. She had a few reasons,  sure, but it was more out of not having anyplace better to go than  anything else. She meets up with a (sort of) ex-boyfriend and stays with  him, which is something that he wasn&#8217;t counting on. I&#8217;m not really sure  what the mystery of this whole thing is. It hasn&#8217;t gotten that far  along yet. Still, I have yet to see anything bad by Jessica and this is  no exception. Everything she has done so far has been a treat and I&#8217;m  really looking forward to this one. Here&#8217;s hoping she can put this out  on a consistent basis&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website La Perdida Part One What can I say about Jessica Abel that I haven&#8217;t said already?
