Heartburst

Heartburst by Rick Veitch was originally released as Marvel Graphic Novel # 10 back in 1984, though I understand a company called King Hell has recently come out with a new edition. I picked this up for $ 2.99 at a used bookstore a few weeks ago and I was surprised at how interesting and creative it was. On a forgotten colony hundreds of lightyears away from Earth, society is ruled by a theocracy "divinely inspired" by what no one realizes are simply old television shows, finally making their way across the cosmos centuries after the programs originally aired. The colonists are in a genocidal war against the planet's natives, and inter-species mating is strictly verboden--which, of course, means the son of one of the colony's notables is going to do just that. It's a story that's hard to explain without giving too much away, but it's definitely worth picking up (with quality artwork to boot).
