Our Love Is Real

A single-issue comic from 2011 by Sam Humphries, Our Love Is Real presents a satirical, near-future America where biological engineering has created a society of extreme, fetishized subcultures. The story follows a cop who falls in love with a woman from a rival "tribe," exploring themes of prejudice and forbidden love through a grotesque, sci-fi lens. Published as a standalone, it remains a sharp, provocative snapshot of early-2010s indie comics' willingness to tackle social commentary through visceral, offbeat genre fiction.
