Early Review: The City Beneath Her Feet #3 Delivers a Reflective and Explosive Finale

Posted on by
The City Beneath Her Feet #3

Behind every love story is a tragedy- and this tale is no different… Chased into the city’s underbelly with Liz hot on her trail- Zara must use everything she’s learned about the secret world of assassins to find a way to survive — and bring Jasper’s killers to justice. The City Beneath Her Feet #3 wraps up the series with a finale that takes readers in unexpected directions.

It’s been a bit since the previous issue of The City Beneath Her Feet, but when provided the chance to check out a copy before release, I jumped at the chance to see how Zara’s story ends. The series as a whole is an intriguing one, a story at its surface level is one of assassins, action, and mistakes, but underneath, it’s one about relationships and how we handle even the worst of them.

Written by James Tynion IV, The City Beneath Her Feet #3 wraps up the series with a nice finale that’s a little melancholy but also packed with action, humor, and reflection. The action continues as an assassin is on Zara’s tail with a large bounty out for the writer who might know too much. But in-between those sequences we get a reflection by Zara on her brief relationship with Zara. As short, as strange, as toxic, as it was, there was a truth and honest Zara was able to see and final actions by Jasper show what she might have really felt towards Zara. It’s an interesting ending that is full of emotion… mixed emotions, that readers will take away differently based on their own relationship history.

The art by Elsa Charretier continues to be fantastic bouncing between the action and what feels like a confessional. The visuals pop in part due to the colors by Jordie Bellaire which deliver a pop-art look to the comic and Aditya Bidikar‘s lettering helps add to the rollercoaster of a ride. The art is intriguing as it’s one that very much feels like it’s a bit of a throwback to pop-art of the past and also has a lot of small details that really help tell the story of the characters themselves. Scars, some blood, a little bit of dirt, it all comes together to visually bring the world and narrative together.

The City Beneath Her Feet #3 is an interesting finale that feels like it’s an indie action film on the comic page. There’s something unexpected and really satisfying in the way it wraps up and leaves us wanting a bit more of this world to see how all of the loose ends are wrapped up. We had to wait a bit to finally be able to experience it, but it was well worth it as The City Beneath Her Feet #3 delivers an ending that’ll leave readers satisfied but still wanting more.

The Superfan Podcast launches Season 2 with more Guests Talking about What They Love Besides Comics

Posted on by
SuperFan Podcast Season 2

What fascinates, captivates, and influences the people who create comics and graphic novels? In Season Two of the Superfan Podcast co-hosts Kristen Simon (Executive Editor at Mad Cave Studios’ Nakama Press), Christian Gossett (Story Artist, Eyes of Wakanda, The Red Star), and Superfan Promotions founder David Hyde will talk with some of the biggest stars of the comic book industry to find out what they’re passionate about — outside of comics.

The Superfan Podcast season two debuted with a conversation about professional wrestling with Eisner and Ignatz Award winning cartoonist, designer, zinemaker, and illustrator Jim Rugg (True Crime Funnies, Hulk Grand Design). In the freewheeling, no-holds-barred episode, Rugg reflects on who has the best gimmick in wrestling, the appeal of heels and heroes, and the art of kayfabe.

Season Two of the Superfan Podcast features an all-star line-up of award-winning writers and artists, including Gender Queer cartoonist Maia Kobabe on the appeal of K-pop, #1 New York Times bestselling cartoonist Johnnie Christmas (Swim Team) on the mystery of Mike Flanagan’s Midnight Mass, Eisner Award-winning artist/designer Paul Pope (THB) on the glorious career of guitarist Rowland S Howard, Eisner Award-winning artist Erica Henderson (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) on her love of Terry Pratchett’s seminal, satirical Discworld novels and acclaimed artist Elsa Charretier (Love Everlasting) on the many merits of game-based dog training. For each episode, the co-hosts also share a dessert recipe and a recommended cocktail and mocktail inspired by the conversation.

In the K-pop world…there’s people buying every single album a whole group has released, or maybe every single variant album a group has released, or they’re trying to collect every single photocard ever released of a specific member of a specific group…The collecting impulse is strong!

Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media team for Exquisite Corpses and Room Service Feature Films

Posted on by
Tiny Onion

James Tynion IV’s Tiny Onion and Lyrical Media have announced the development of two horror films, marking a new phase of their growing partnership. The collaboration will bring to screen Tynion’s new bestselling horror comic book series Exquisite Corpses, and a feature adaptation of his short film and one-shot comic Room Service. Tynion, the five-time Eisner Award-winning writer behind Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House on the Lake,​and The Department of Truth, launched Tiny Onion in 2023 with a seed investment from Lyrical Media. The new films expand that relationship, formalizing Lyrical as a key producing partner across multiple mediums.

Exquisite Corpses is a horror franchise centered on a deadly game played every five years on Halloween, when the wealthiest families in America unleash twelve of the world’s most dangerous killers on an unsuspecting town. The first season of the comic book series, published by Image Comics and co-created by artist Michael Walsh, has already become a breakout hit, selling more than 500,000 copies to date. Exquisite Corpses also became the highest-selling original IP launch of the year in the comic book direct market, marking Tynion’s best debut in over three years. A companion trading card game, Exquisite Corpses: The Game, is in development to be released this summer. Lyrical Media and Tiny Onion envision the property as a franchise starter with expansive potential across live-action film, animation, and video games, and are currently packaging the feature with A-list talent. Tynion will produce the feature film for Tiny Onion, with Michael Walsh joining as executive producer, and Alexander Black and Arlen Konopaki are producing for Lyrical Media with Jon Rosenberg from Lyrical Media as an executive producer.

Room Service is​ a feature adaptation of Tynion’s Kickstarter crowdfunded short film, co-created by artist Elsa Charretier and director PK Colinet, about a sinister hotel service that allows its clients to commit their ideal murder scenarios. In addition to the short film, Tynion and his collaborators released a prequel one-shot comic, published by Image Comics. Tynion will co-write the feature script with filmmaker Colinet. 

Exquisite Corpses and Room Service join an aggressive development slate for both James Tynion IV and Tiny Onion. In October, it was announced that Blumhouse Productions had optioned Tynion’s bestselling comics horror franchise, Something is Killing the Children, to adapt both for film and for an animated television series with Tynion attached to produce alongside the series publisher BOOM! Studios. In December, Tiny Onion announced its expansive development slate in animation, including an adaptation of Tynion’s Image Comics series W0RLDTR33 at Netflix, an adaptation of his BOOM! Studios series The Woods, and an original adult animated comedy series developed with production company Irony Point, Tipsy Dragon.

Romance gets complicated in Tom King and Elsa Charretier’s Love Everlasting, Vol. 3

Posted on by

Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King and critically acclaimed artist Elsa Charretier deliver a haunting, genre-defying tale in the graphic novel series Love Everlasting. The third volume paperback in the series will collect Love Everlasting issues #11-15 and drop readers into a plot-twist tryst this month from Image Comics.

Joan Petersen is a woman caught in a surreal loop of doomed romance. One moment she’s the starry-eyed secretary in a 1950s office affair; the next, she’s tangled in a dust-choked Western love triangle, or swept into the arms of a soldier during wartime. From high school hallways to bloodstained battlefields, each of Joan’s lives brings readers a new setting, a new lover—and the same inevitable, gut-wrenching end.

But Joan is starting to remember. And she’s starting to resist.

As her impossible journey unfolds and a mysterious cowboy enters the picture, Love Everlasting transforms into a gripping meditation on free will, fate, and the cultural myths that shape our ideas of love and identity. Blending classic romance comics with an unsettling sci-fi twist, Love Everlasting is the perfect read for fans of stories like WandaVision, Russian Doll, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Love Everlasting, Vol. 3 trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534330702) is available at local comic book shops now and will be available at independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, September 16.
