Lupe has run off to meet the monsters. Rico has to catch her or lose her forever, this strange, smiling girl who stole his heart. But what's Lupe's story? Where did she come from? And why doesn't she fear the monsters that ate the world?
Heart Eyes really won me over with the first issue and I'll admit to hoping for more of that in this issue. We get a small taste of it again before it goes into flashback territory in order to show some of the origins of all of this. Which I expected at some point and I do think there's some question as to whether it should have been shown first and then gone into the present or not. That said, there isn't a huge tonal shift or anything as Lupe's life before the end of the world is likely worse than after in a lot of ways, so it's still pretty bleak. But there's a lot to like here in exploring some of the origins and getting some answers so that it's not just a big mystery box. I'm eager to get back to the present quickly and move forward, however, but I enjoyed getting this part of it and seeing some really strong artwork throughout once again. Read Full Review
Lupe has more of a connection to the monsters than anyone else realizes. Read Full Review
A unique and compelling take on a character trope that I never I'd see portrayed this way.
Kinda incredible so far if only the story is moving a little too fast.
The concept is leading the story here, not the characters or even what's actually happening on the page. This has the potential to be really fleshed out.
