  Llovet's Heartbeat #4 feels more like a continuation of her story instead of the beginning of the end. Yet, that feels right in line with the rest of Eva's story. Read Full Review

  But Why Tho? - Max Funkey

  Overall, I just don't like this series. I was very excited at the beginning, but the things that made it appealing have all but been abandoned. I'm willing to chalk this up to me expecting more than was promised. But at the end of the day, this was billed as a horror comic. But we are four issues in and I don't see much horror.

  Previous issues I felt Llovett also made excellent choices when to allow the images to tell the story. This issue had more dialogue this made the pages feel busier and less enjoyable for me.The first issue saw a quiet and reflective Eva always yielding. Issue # 4 finds a young woman struggling for power. It is during these power plays with Mack, Don, and Violetta that the conversation fills the pages. This changes the books beautiful pacing. It also makes me feel less sympathetic towards Eva. It is uncomfortable to watch Eva feel powerful for what may be the first time in her life. Knowing this power was due to unfortunate circumstances makes it worse. It's only a matter of time before some tragic fate befalls Eva. She just doesn't notice the hand around her neck or why it's there. Read Full Review
