After Nox’s botched mission in the previous issue, she finds herself up against the wall to make amends – somewhat literally as she is now under attack from the deadly fixer Calaveras! She is starting to suspect her original assignment was a lot more dangerous than she realized.
Meanwhile, meteorologist Kelvin Frost’s panic over the competition from the other weathermen in town takes a turn as his crazy plan to attend a Beauty party comes to fruition. Little does he know, though the party turned out well for him, it was not so great for other attendees.
Plus, the return of The Abernathy!
Continuing the new tales of The Beauty from co-creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by the sensational Emanuela Lupacchino (World’s Finest: Teen Titans)! Read the comic alongside watching the TV show on FX!
Jason A. Hurley has been in comic book retail for over two decades, but The Beauty was his first foray into making his own. In addition to comic books, he loves pro wrestling, bad horror movies, Freddie Mercury, hummingbirds, his parents, and pizza. While he’s never actually tried it, he also thinks curling looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Hurley claims his personal heroes are Earl Bassett and Valentine McKee, because they live a life of adventure on their own terms. He also claims that he would brain anyone who showed even the most remote signs of becoming a cannibalistic undead bastard, including his own brother, without a second thought. He’s lived in Joplin, Missouri, for most of his life, and never plans to leave.
A former biotechnology researcher, Ema Lupacchino transitioned into comics and has worked on several Italian series, including L'insonne.
