About the Project

Heartripper is an object show webcomic about a violent and delusional serial killer who believes she's a magical girl warrior doing whatever it takes to stop her friends from pulling her away from her delusions - even if it means she needs to use extreme measures.
This comic features death, violence, and themes of trauma, abuse (in multiple ways), and grief. It is not intended to glamorize or glorify any of the above. This comic does not and will not contain any sexually explicit content.

Inspirations

Heartripper is inspired by object show comics Objectified (structure, development, monster design) by Chester Fernandez, Roadkill (visual presentation) by Viscera Zombie, and Escape from Abject Reality by Punch-Holer, as well as narratively by non-object stories such as (most prominently) I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison.

The visual presentation of object comics like Roadkill and Escape from Abject Reality (as mentioned) were inspired off of to allow for short but frequent releases, compared to my other comic which uses a different visual structure that lends itself more to long, less frequent, high-effort releases.

If you're 16+ and you like this comic, you should check out Roadkill --- it also features a serial killer surrounded by a small cast of potential victims, though the story and characters are considerably different.
