In \u003ci\u003eLovers and Haters\u003c\/i\u003e, 50-year-old cult movie actress Fritz, in addition to her alcoholism and the ups and downs of her career, must also contend with a controlling lover, Danny; a jealous rival, Mila; a score of younger Fritz imitators, a sex cult; and mad scientists. Also in her orbit is her niece, Killer (sometimes literally, as seen in a \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e-inspired TV show), a teen actress trying to launch a singing career while solving math problems. The specter of Fritz’s mother, Maria — also a cult movie actress — haunts them all with her beauty from beyond the grave.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a sprawling cast, \u003ci\u003eLovers and Haters\u003c\/i\u003e is about mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, complex and often toxic relationships, artists and exploiters, personas and obsessions.

In addition to his work on \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, its spinoffs, and side series, Hernandez has released a prodigious amount of original graphic novels and miniseries, such as \u003ci\u003eSloth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBumperhead\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMarble Season\u003c\/i\u003e.
