Today’s post is on The Beauty, volume 3 by by Jeremy Haun, Jason A. Hurley; illustrated by Jeremy Haun, Thomas Nachlik. It is 128 pages long and is published by Image Comics. The cover has a woman with her head thrown back as she screaming or singing, it is not clear. The intended reader is someone who has the first two volumes and likes dark science fiction stories. There is foul language, sex, and violence in this comic. The story is told from third person perspective following the characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From Hoopla’s item page - THE BEAUTY returns, merging characters and story-lines from earlier arcs into a twisting tale of vanity, power, and the quest to obtain both at any cost. In a world where achieving pure beauty means dying for it, the question of what life is actually worth becomes more important than ever.
Review – We are still in the past with this collection of The Beauty. We see how detectives Vaughn and Foster became partners and their first case together is on a Serial Killer who is hunting Beauties. The story is very interesting, it was nice to return to the first characters of the series and see how they met. The main arc is about the Serial Killer and stopping them but there are many sub-arcs about how people react to The Beauty. Like how many people want to get it, how Beauties are seen by the world at large, and about people who do not want the disease. The killer is sad, understandable, but still horrible in the reasoning behind the killing. The Beauty continues to be an interesting look into the questions of beauty, power, who has it, and how society treats those with it and without. I hope that we get to the future and see how the cure is working soon, I am so curious.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library’s Hoopla account.
