Summary

Callie was born with a bad heart. After it ruined her life, she went looking for a miracle: a heart transplant. Now she’s got a brand new heart, but she’s still stuck with a crappy job, crappy boyfriend, and crappy prospects.

Enter Mercer, a mystery man who gets Callie’s heart beating like crazy. As her behavior changes and their flirting deepens, Mercer reveals he’s her heart donor. Only Callie can see, speak to, and touch him - and he’s in love with her, a love she feels just as strongly.

A master thief when he died, Mercer offers to teach Callie his criminal ways and how to turn them against her old job and kick off a nationwide crime spree. Hunted by the FBI and popping heart meds to stay alive, Callie will find out that nothing’s as scary as two people in love with nothing to lose.

Additional text

"Heartthrob is yet another terrific example of why
Christopher Sebela is such a powerful and exciting voice in comics. A premise
that is deceptively simple - even banal - and twisted in the furnace of fevered
imagination to be forged into something never seen before - and that you want
more of immediately. Wilson, Filardi, and Sebela deliver a ferocious issue one,
with the promise of even better to come." - Greg Rucka
