About the Book
A post-apocalyptic monster story teeming with horror, Lovecraftian-inspired monstrosities, romance, and one devil-may-care teenager named Lupe who is much more than she seems.
SMILES HIDE WHAT LURKS BENEATH.
Sanity-eating monsters ended humanity. The unlucky few who survived now hide in
the cracks of a broken world. And yet somehow, beneath the graveyard that used
to be San Antonio, Rico met Lupe, the girl of his dreams - and an enigma. How
did she get here? And why is she smiling? No one survives out in the street. No
one smiles where the monsters lurk. But Lupe does.
Join teenagers Rico and Lupe as they journey through the desolate landscape
of monstrous devastation - and their own obstacle-ridden relationship.
Heart Eyes explores themes of loneliness, mental illness, being your own worst
enemy, and human connection reflecting the pandemic and post-pandemic world in
which we live.
For fans of Lovecraftian monsters and horror, weird romance, post-apocalyptic

My Review
HEART EYES is a short, intriguing comic series with a weird, lazy ending. I loved the Lovecraftian vibe, and I loved Lupe, a girl with all sorts of problems, and don't let me get started on her past—because it's complicated. Yes, Lupe's backstory gets explained—and it's a crazy one.
The vibrantly well-done illustrations by Victor Ibáñez are the driving force in HEART EYES, and the monster illustrations are my favorite parts. The artwork outdoes the story, which is more complicated (there's that word again) than it should have been. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading HEART EYES for its bold, zany apocalyptic tale about a lonely girl. ╌★★★★✰
