Just re-read this book from issue #1, and what an amazing first arc. Near perfect, imo. Count me in for the next arc. I just hope more people start buying it so it will continue.

Image comics cranks out great books, and The Beauty is another of this great titles. This issue wraps up the first arc, and it really leaves you wanting more. Things wrapped up neatly (for the moment, anyway) for our main cast of characters. And in the afterword, the creators state that they are stepping away from these people to get more in-depth with the rest of the world that is afflicted with this STD that makes the victim beautiful. Thankfully, I am very much #beautyfree, because I am an overweight, out of shape, weird beard fella. No worries there. But this is an idea that really makes you think, because there is so much more to the story than just a venereal disease that makes you look hot, because it is also a disease that kills you (via spontaneous combustion) AND it touches on the economic and political side of covering up a diseases deadly side, PLUS the idea that pharmaceutical companies would rather mitigate a disease rather than cure it. This was a really good read, and a book that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy anywhere near as much as I did. You have a while before the next arc starts, but the collected edition will be out soon, so pick this up in trade and make sure to keep yourself #beautyfree… more
