HATE follows the foibles of the semi-autobiographical Buddy Bradley. Hate became the voice of the twenty-nothing slackers as well as being hailed by critics for its brilliant characterization in its complete chronicle of the 1990s.

In this issue: The title for the lead story this issue is "The Return of Valerie." Long-time readers will realize they're in for a treat, as the issue spotlights Buddy's temperamental ex-girlfriend, back in Seattle! Buddy, in typically weaselish fashion, arranges a date with Val behind his current girlfriend Lisa's back - but things don't turn out the way Buddy hoped or anticipated. Also in this issue, "Stinky in Gotham," as Buddy's sleazy ex-roommate reaches NYC - say no more!

"Hate is devastatingly accurate." - The Village Voice

"I love Hate!" - Matt Groening
