Heart Guardians 05-08

Heart Guardians is our second Premium comic by Atomics. This is Episode 2 from the files of Dr. Robin Harper and the second comic set in the vast, phenomenal universe that Atomics is carefully constructing.

Each comic in the series will stand on its own, so you don’t need to have read Idealized (the first comic in the series) to enjoy Heart Guardians, but it can’t hurt!

Heart Guardians are stewards of the human world, ensuring that wild creatures and nightmares created from an overabundance of magic don’t interfere with everyday, un-sighted humans. The guardians remain human, but they are given powers when they become stewards… along with a new body. These new bodies are temporary, the body a person occupies while they are in guardian form. They can revert back to their own body whenever they desire.

In other words, Heart Guardians has magic, but it’s also something of a superhero comic. The guardians are trying to keep the world in balance against immense odds.

As you know if you’ve read the Heart Guardians Parts 01-04, the main focus of this comic is Scott. He’s become a heart guardian, and the body he occupies when in guardian form is female. Scott isn’t permanently stuck as a woman, but he hasn’t exactly figured out how to control his transformations. He shifts from male to female at the most inopportune times… from showering at the gym to the precise moment he’s giving a big presentation at work. 

The thing is, nobody seems to notice when Scott turns into a gorgeous redhead, and he has to wonder why… and also wonder if he actually does want people to see him with his new set of curves. Suppose you became a beautiful woman but nobody could see you. How much fun would that be?

Atomics is telling a long, complicated story (including magic, superheroes and time travel), but he also knows how to make that complicated story fun. Heart Guardians has a lot of light-hearted moments, and there’s lots of such fun content in Parts 5-8.

And, let’s say Scott gets a lot more familiar with his female body over the course of these 525 pages. The girl quickly figures out how to strike a sexy pose, that’s for sure! 

Scott doesn’t mind being a beautiful woman, especially when it comes with powers. Scott doesn’t necessarily want to be female on a permanent basis, but he doesn’t mind experiencing what it’s like to live life as a fetching female.
