Why this object matters
The Camp/Morian reunion and revived Vertigo context give Bleeding Hearts a meaningful contemporary publishing identity. The principal Morian cover is a coherent expression of that collaboration. Its launch status supports 7.8, without yet establishing outstanding long-term importance.
Evidence limits: Complete under the standing TMR rule. The comic is enclosed in a Collect Forever Soft Slab, so interior completeness cannot be independently page-counted from the supplied photographs; no missing component is reported or visible.
