"Contrary Concepts Attract," in Heart Hunter, by Mickey George (writer), V. Gagnon (artist), M. Hulbert, Kim Goon, Diana Sousa and Marcos Vink (flats?), Richard Starkings and Jimmy Betancourt (letterers)
I don't really have anything else to say about this I didn't cover in my review four months ago. An island of people who are immortal, until they find their soulmate. Or until someone destroys their hearts, which they carry outside their bodies. And since some people would rather be immortal than find a soulmate, some people make a living snuffing them out.
It's a very nice comic to look at, but the heart metaphors made literal and the soulmate stuff, both hit a point of view I strongly dislike. Which made it difficult to enjoy the comic. It will not remain in the collection past the annual culling next January.
