Bleeding Hearts #5: Zombie BFFs Face Betrayal in DC's Sacred Mall Apocalypse

DC Comics' *Bleeding Hearts #5* drops this Wednesday, challenging everything you thought you knew about zombie horror. Forget mindless hordes; this series offers a darkly comedic, surprisingly civilized undead society where humans are literal livestock and shopping malls are sacred ground.
At the heart of it are Poke and Mush, zombie best friends whose bond faces the ultimate test. Poke harbors a secret, and Mush’s "natural instincts" might just constitute an unwitting betrayal. The question looms: can friendship survive when brains are on the menu, even if it’s an accidental snack?
This twisted world, crafted by writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian, is rich with unsettling details. Zombies observe an "Out-Break" ritual, celebrating their origins with monuments to "Patient Zero." They keep humans caged in "Sweet Bites" stores, complete with signs warning "DO NOT EAT – RESERVED FOR RITUAL HUNT!" It's a fresh, disturbing take on the apocalypse.
