Super inventive concept for the world!

The Heart Hunter by Mickey George was a fantastical tale in which a kingdom was cursed with immortality and their hearts in jars until the time they meet their soulmate. This graphic novel expressed some really interesting and thoughtful points about our emotions and mental health inside the guise of a fairy tale-type story. It was fast-paced, moving, and had bold colors in the art. I thought it very well done.

Beautiful art and touching story, completely marred by several instances of shocking ableism including implying that living with a "broken" or damaged body would be worse than death. Ugly!

The Heart Hunter is unlike anything I've read before. The concept was new, slightly disturbing (which is always a good thing) and sweet all simultaneously. The heart-themed puns that run through his comic are wonderfully hilarious and made me giggle whenever they cropped up. However, most of this story is not lighthearted, not warm or fluffy, but quite sinister and dark *chef's kiss*. I enjoyed the darkness of this comic and how tortured most of the characters are. And the artwork? The artwork is fantastic, so detailed and wonderfully coloured. It fully immerses you into the story—overall, a solid comic with a great twist on soulmates.
