The Beauty #4 gets the stories really moving but still feels a bit disconnected

Posted on by

In order to fulfill her mission and uncover secrets for her mysterious client, Nox is forced to contract the Beauty to access an exclusive island and reach her affluent target. When she arrives, she discovers the task has a deep, unexpected connection to the Abernathy.

Elsewhere, Agent Crayton is also digging into things he shouldn’t. Can Goode stop him before he goes poking at the masked assassin Calaveras and gets them both killed?

Ultimately, is the Beauty an advantage in a person’s career, or does it just pull them into danger?

The Beauty #3 is interesting but feels like it’s starting to stretch things out a bit too much

Posted on by

Agent Crayton can’t outrun his past, not as long as The Abernathy knows what he did and holds him in their grip. Is the price they are attempting to extract from him too high, or can he live with the harm helping them will do to the people around him?

Things aren’t so bad for Kelvin Frost, however. The weather man has gotten the Beauty, and he’s already discovering how the disease can change your life in a myriad of ways–from the gorgeous girl he’s now having a fling with to the police knocking on his door wondering what he knows about the death of the man who helped him get the virus.

You see, it’s a disease that comes with consequences, but that doesn’t stop people from wanting to get it. Or seeing a necessity for it. Whether you’re an aging football star like Skottie or a highly paid thief like Nox, sometimes you’re going to do what you have to do to get ahead.

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.

The Beauty Book One is an even more fascinating read in a post-COVID world

Posted on by

In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a shortcut to becoming beautiful? A sexually transmitted disease has started transforming people who catch it, changing their facial features and body types to something more in line with society’s perceived ideal. The only catch? You will have a slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good?

Those who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate amount of time with the disease, it has deadly consequences as that fever finally burns you from the inside out. For Detectives Vaughn and Foster, investigating the first mysterious deaths of Beauty victims leads them into a dark world they never expected, full of corrupt politicians, murderous federal agents, and a secret society of crooks and killers.

Relive the first spellbinding story arc of THE BEAUTY, as well as a selection of stories that expand the world. The first of three all-new editions collecting the entire original series, this volume includes the first eleven issues, co-written by series creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green.

This volume collects issues 1-11 of the original series.

The Beauty Gets a New Collected Edition in January 2026 in time for the Television Show

The Beauty Book One

Following news of the official premiere date for Ryan Murphy’s television adaptation of The Beauty on FX and Hulu, Ignition Press has announced the new “beautified” all-market edition of The Beauty Book One from Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley will be released on January 20th, 2026.

This new edition features a fashion magazine-inspired cover from Haun further enhanced with a striking neon fifth color printing process and blind spot UV treatment resulting in the most striking collection of The Beauty to date. The Beauty Book One collects the first eleven issues of the original series with an expanded cover gallery at a value price point, creating a perfect entry point for new readers.

In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a short cut to becoming beautiful? A sexually transmitted disease has started transforming people who catch it, changing their facial features and body types to something more in line with society’s perceived ideal. Those inflicted shed fat, regrow hair, get more defined cheekbones overnight. The only catch? You will have slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good?

Folks who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate time with the disease, it has deadly consequences. Looking good on the outside comes at the cost of your insides, as that fever finally burns you from the inside out. For Detectives Vaughn and Foster, investigating the first mysterious deaths of Beauty victims leads them into a dark world they never expected, full of corrupt politicians, murderous federal agents, and a secret society of crooks and killers.

Relive the first spellbinding story arc of The Beauty, as well as a selection of stories that expand the world. This is the first of three all-new editions collecting the entire original series, co-written by series creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green.

The Beauty #1 has a great concept and some fantastic art and an intriguing concept in today’s world

Posted on by

Set in a world not unlike our own, The Beauty chronicles what happens when a new sexually transmitted disease begins to spread. Only, this is a disease that people actually want, as those who contract it are literally changed into more beautiful versions of themselves. The only hitch is a slight fever and, eventually, death. But isn’t that an easy price to pay to be gorgeous?

This new series follows several characters as they deal with the Beauty and how it has changed society around them. A thief for hire on a dangerous job, a meteorologist with plummeting ratings, and special agents specializing in Beauty-related crimes will all find their lives converging in unexpected ways. And some fan favorite characters from the original series will return, as well.
