Overall, an interesting story which I did not think I would necessary relate to, as the inner rumblings of ho hum office work reverberate throughout the story much like Office Space. The story by Christopher Sebela is truly a gift, that the reader will be unwrapping over and over again, to see what they have missed the first few times they read it. The art by Robert Wilson IV, is very much reminiscent of Archer, but having an identity all its own. Very entertaining altogether, an absorbing story which feels like the beautiful bastard of Heart Condition and Fight Club. Read Full Review

Heartthrob #1 is a great introduction to a series that looks to be exciting and heart-wrenching, both figuratively and literally. Sebela has created a lovely and realistic protagonist in Callie Boudreau as well as a mysterious, loving and potentially dangerous love interest in Mercer. Only time will tell if he is dangerous, but that wait won't be so bad between the writing and the fantastic art of Wilson and Filiardi. If crime and romance mixed together are right up your alley, Heartthrob #1 might just be the sweetheart of a comic you're looking for. Read Full Review

While most people do not need a major organ transplant, they can find kinship in her struggle against the machinery of society. Callie shows us the monotony of daily existence, the regrets coming from playing it safe, use and abuse by those we thought we were closest to, and the desire to tell the world where they can stick their demands. These are the struggles of every human throughout time. Heartthrob explores these things with fascinating direction that does not linger or drag the reader down. Of course there is a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting to know what happens next. The clear cut story and gorgeous, clean art make this an easy read that transplants itself into your head, telling you to read it just once more. Read Full Review

Christopher Sebela characterizes Callie as a person who's adapting to a new outlook on life " she'll knock your ass to the ground if you wrong her, though she's still working out how to reconcile those burgeoning impulses. So it's no wonder that she'd take refuge in the arms of a mere hallucination (or what might be the ghost of an actual criminal dreamboat) resting just behind her eyes. Is this crazy? A new twist on the concept of "mad love?" Maybe. But I'm going to need at least twenty more issues to properly suss it out. Read Full Review

Getting a complicated premise off and running is no simple feat, but man do Christopher Sebela and Robert Wilson IV make it look easy. Heartthrob #1 is assured from its opening page, each subsequent flip only furthering the book's clear cut sense of identity. Read Full Review

All told, "Heartthrob" #1 pulls the reader right in. The cliffhanger actually feels engaging and earned, and Callie is a fascinating protagonist. I'm so, so curious for what issue #2 will bring. Read Full Review

This issue will take you on quite the whirlwind of feelings. There are a lot of ways that this could go, so I don’t doubt that Sebela will give us a good follow-up issue to this one. I’m looking forward to seeing how Callie deals with her life getting really good or falling apart. Either way, I know I’ll be entertained. This issue is definitely worth checking out, for anyone looking for an interesting and thoughtful read. Read Full Review
