Eva, a high school outcast, finds herself witness to a horrible secret: the most popular boy in school enjoys the taste of blood and will kill to get his hands on it. Horrified and intrigued, Eva lets herself be pulled into Donatien’s macabre world. He offers the escape she has been looking for…but how much is Eva willing to betray her moral code in order to find something that gives her life meaning? And will she—or Donatien—ever find redemption? Acclaimed writer and artist Maria Llovet (Faithless) presents a dark, violent, decadent, and disturbing story in which life and death, blood and love are inextricably intertwined. Collects Heartbeat #1-5 for mature audiences.
Maria Llovet is a multidisciplinary artist from Barcelona.
As a comic author she has published four graphic novels in different countries in Europe and debuted recently in the comic book US market, besides working in several illustration projects.
Her style has its roots in the Japanese manga but drinks copiously from european art in general, and from the fashion industry. It’s also characterized by a great cinematographic influence in its visual narrative.
Sex and death are the big two central themes in her work.
