    Writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian, the powerhouse creative team behind 20th Century Men, arrive at DC's revived Vertigo line to take readers on a zombie adventure that’s filled with heart (lots of them).

    The zombies won—and 10 years after the fall of humanity, they’re the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They’ve developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society, all organized around hunting and devouring the few living humans unlucky enough to still be fighting for survival.

    Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head (“Poke” for short) is a valued and beloved member of the Brain-Splashes-and-Sizzles-On-Hot-Rocks Horde of the Undead. With his brother-in-arm Mush, he's happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember…until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again. And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and have started looking like…friends…?

    Absolute Martian Manhunter writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian (the iconic team behind 20th Century Men) reunite to bring you a zombie-filled world ruled by ruthless kill-or-be-killed logic, pitted against the demands of a single beating, bleeding, emotional heart!

    Collects Bleeding Hearts #1-6.
    Deniz Camp is a writer and Eisner-nominated creator known for his high-concept, genre-defying work in comics. His acclaimed projects include 20th Century Men, Children of the Vault, and Bloodshot: Unleashed. Camp’s stories explore identity, ideology, and the boundaries of reality, blending literary ambition with superhero spectacle.

    Stipan Morian is a comic book colorist known for his atmospheric palettes and expressive mood-driven work on titles such as Harley Quinn, Nightwing, and Batman: Urban Legends. His dynamic approach to tone and lighting brings emotional depth and cinematic clarity to every page he colors.

    Matt Hollingsworth is an award-winning colorist celebrated for acclaimed work on Daredevil, Hawkeye, Tokyo Ghost, and Seven to Eternity. A longtime industry leader, Hollingsworth’s textured, innovative color storytelling has earned him Eisner and Harvey Award nominations and helped define the look of some of the most influential modern comics.
