Why We Love It:
Blondie rocks the cover, perfect for Callie "Heart of Glass" Boudreaux.

Callie becomes a more successful master of crime than Mercer, but realizes that a "fairytale romance with shotguns" is anything but that.
Praise for HEARTTHROB:
8.5 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "The team delivers spectacularly on making this crime comic about a woman and her ghost boyfriend believable and enjoyable, especially when the small fissures in their foundation are beginning to form." Graphic Policy
4 OUT OF 5 REVIEW: "Heartthrob shows you what Callie is capable of, how she's able to take control and command a situation when needed, yet there's that inherent fragility that comes with her past and makes one care so much about her." Comic Bastards
"This is a fun, fun read, but it also has its serious moments with flash-forwards continuing to suggest both future tension between Callie and Mercer and utter calamity in a heist gone wrong. All that and a funky 1970s vibe? Can't go wrong with picking this up." AL.com
