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.

This story contains significant depictions of mental illness, including severe distortions of perception, paranoia, compulsive behavior, and violence occurring in the context of those experiences.

The experiences depicted through the main character are intentionally extreme and specific to her circumstances and condition. They are not intended to represent mental illness as a whole, nor to suggest that mental illness inherently causes violence or dangerous behavior.

Her distorted perception is an important part of the story's allegory: it explores what can happen when a person's understanding of reality becomes increasingly unreliable, particularly when that experience goes unrecognized or unaddressed. The story does not present her actions as justified by her condition, but neither does it treat her condition as a moral failing. The consequences of what happens are real regardless of the reasons behind them.

This is a fictional and allegorical depiction of severe mental illness, not a clinical representation of any particular diagnosis or experience. For this reason, the main character's illness is intentionally never specified.

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 by Viscera Zombie --- it also features a serial killer surrounded by a small cast of potential victims, though the story and characters are considerably different.
