Jun 10, 2026Bleeding Hearts #5 abruptly stops the soft and sweet storyline and trades it out for one full of confusion and panic. Poke is put at a crossroads and is being forced into making a decision that will change his future and the future of others forever. This story continues to build and build the anticipation, keeping me on the edge of my seat. Read Full Review

Jun 10, 2026Poke has no time to celebrate as Rabbit’s now being hunted by zombie hordes in a superb chapter. Camp pushes all parties into uncomfortable quarters with the writing . Morian & Hollingsworth construct excellent images to build to the hunting hour. You might need to check your own heart after reading this phenomenal series. Read Full Review

Jun 11, 2026There’s still a twisted humor to the whole thing, but now it’s infused with a real sense of dread in every page. And much of the issue is told from Rabbit’s perspective, adding a vibe of innocent tragedy to the whole thing that drives home the inherent horror of this world. Read Full Review

Jun 17, 2026Bleeding Hearts #5 stands out because it makes you question your own humanity. Things we take for granted like eating meat, wearing leather, or even hunting, are reframed through the eyes of the zombies. They’re the dominant species now, and we’re the animals. Rabbit’s loss of innocence is a gateway into how those lesser species might feel. We’re more similar to these zombies than we want to believe. What does that say about us? Read Full Review

A lot of interesting things here. Firstly, I really enjoyed how Camp wrote Rabbit's narration. It threw me off at first, but, then, I realized what he was doing. Rabbit is a small child...so, her narration should read like the thoughts of a small child, right? Furthermore, I felt that he did a really nice job of writing it that way. Especially loved the misunderstandings of words that led to her saying things differently (ex. "Yemen" instead of "Heaven"). Another thing that was more odd was how Cara's death was handled. Really seems like something that could have been depicted or, at least, heavily implied on the page? Instead, we just get Rabbit mentioning it at the start of the issue. I don't know, I just felt that it, perhaps, should hav more

I have a lot of respect for any comics that kill off a main character unceremoniously out of sight from the audience, so kudos to Camp for doing that. Beyond that, I didn’t get too much out of this though.
