In "Hello, Heartbreak!", Susan finds herself uneasy around Nadine, the new girl whose charm draws everyone in—especially her boyfriend. But when Nadine seems to genuinely want to be friends, Susan begins to wonder if the girl’s kindness is real… or just another move in a game. Bernard Sachs handles both art and inks with delicate precision, while Ira Schnapp’s lettering adds subtle tension to the emotional beats. The cover by Tony Abruzzo captures the moment of quiet unease, perfectly framing the story’s delicate balance of friendship and suspicion.
