Bleeding Hearts #8 Preview

 

Poke didn’t ask for his heart to start beating. But when it did, the blood pumping through his cold, dead veins changed everything. He’s tried to walk a line between embracing the Live Ones while remaining in the dead community. Yet, keeping a foot in both camps has forced him to start killing his fellow Zombies. He’s lost his best friend, Mush. And for what? A Live One who’d prefer he vanished from their lives? And a Live One girl that he cannot understand?

 

A half-alive Zombie doesn’t belong anywhere. At least, anywhere that he knows of. Can Poke help Rabbit and her mother reach a place of safety? And can Poke make peace with his past and embrace this unique new form of existence?
