Beauty, Volume 1 | 
pickThe Beauty is an STD that makes people better looking - but two years in, with half of America infected, the price is becoming apparent. I‘m not sure what I was thinking, starting this series as we enter year two of Covid, but 🤷🏻♀️
This first volume is violent and vivid; of course it ends on a cliffhanger, so on to the next we go!

Yay giveaways! I just can‘t resist 🙈 A graphic novel I‘ve enjoyed recently is The Beauty. The premise is that there is an STD that people willing want to get which is called The Beauty and it makes the afflicted absolutely gorgeous. Problem is, those that have The Beauty are now essentially imploding. It‘s up to two detectives to find out why. @callielafleur #Clearingyourshelves1

The creepy cover art drew me in, but the unique and interesting concept caught me: An STD that people want because it makes them beautiful, but then...
This is one of the more enjoyable comics I've read recently. It hooked me immediately and kept me reading. It has all sorts of potential; I cant wait to see what happens in volume 2.

pickWow! Really loved this one and will definitely be continuing on! Engaging storyline, awesome artwork and enough unanswered questions to keep you wanting more. If you‘re looking for a disease based adult detective/ horror graphic novel I would recommend checking out The Beauty. 5 ⭐️ There‘s a new STD out there, one that people WANT to catch. Once you get it, you become Beautiful. Drop dead gorgeous, too bad now the “dead” part is actually true.
So I didn't catch on to the graphic readalong last week till the middle of the week so decided to do my own this week and bring the graphic TBR pile crashing down 😁 first up; volumes 1-3 of The Beauty ☣☢☠
#bookmail It appears that I‘ve already ruined my goal of not buying as many books in 2018 but they were ordered in 2017 so they don‘t count 😬
pickHoly cats this was amazing!! The story literally had me gasping and the art is some of the most beautiful I've seen in a graphic novel. Very eager to read Vol. 2!!
pickTwo years ago, a new STD appeared that made people more beautiful. Soon it was the virus everyone wanted to catch. However, now these "beauties" are beginning to die.
Wow, this graphic novel was so good. Interesting way to explore deeper issues. Vol 2 is going straight onto my wishlist!
panReviewing both Vol 1 and 2 together. Very cool idea that never goes anywhere or reaches its potential. I was expecting a scathing look at our culture's obsession with beauty and instead got very pedestrian crime noir. It's filled with shallow characters, cliche plots and dialogue, and mediocre artwork. Plus vol 1 and 2 are not even related in any way; the story and characters are completely different. Do yourself a favor and skip this series.
pickThe concept of this comic is very intriguing. It's very well written. I wished there were more horror elements, but that's just me. Otherwise, it's very interesting and I plan on picking up the second volume.

pickI bought this, simply because of the cover. And, having not read what it was about, went into it completely blind.
Different from the things that I normally read, but definitely an interesting premise for a graphic novel.
Dear library,
I love you but it doesn't really make sense to own volume two of a comic series when you don't own volume one.
Whenever I get shot trying to save my boyfriend, a little yoga sure does the trick. Love this comic book!
Just love this tale of a transgender hit woman who loses the man she loves ( fellow hitman) while trying to get out of the game. Revenge is sweet, and gorgeous. Lol
pickOn a graphic novel binge today and they are all so amazing! The art and concepts behind this one are five star worthy!
pickLove this series! I wish I could afford to own them all. The Beauty is a virus you can inject yourself with that makes you beautiful. It takes the world by storm. We are all beautiful...just one little side effect: you burn up from the inside, eventually explode. The series focuses on the implications and consequences of a world transformed by this kind of beauty. Dazzling art and writing.
so-soFinished on the last leg of my journey home last night. I feel like it's missing a little something in terms of plot, but very creepy with great artwork!
😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭 I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS COMIC. AU in which an STD makes people beautiful. So it's totally possible to be smoking hot, but you have to get infected with an STD in order to get that way. Wild concept, right? Which would you choose? Beauty, or health? #ittookmesixtriestotakethisphoto #ijustrakedleaves #myarmshavebeenreplacedwithtwolimpnoodles #cantevenholdmyphonesteady
#booktober #creepycover The Beauty is about a sexually transmitted disease that makes you incredibly beautiful, but at a terrible cost.
All the covers for The Beauty are equally creeptastic. Great new mystery/horror comic series from Image about an STD that makes you more beautiful...and then your insides combust. #booktober #creepycovers
pickReally loved this one. Can't wait to find out more. The art is beautiful and I love the way they show the differences between people with Beauty and those without. The next volume comes out in December but I don't know if I can wait that long!
Beauty! An STD that makes you hot sweeps the world. But it might have deadly consequences when beautiful people start ending up dead. Two cops are in hot pursuit of the cure and the mystery behind the killings. Loved this comic - check it out!
Lol exploding beautiful people! Watch out. Loved this comic about a deadly STD making people hot and two cops trying to find the cure.
pickI love this series. A new STD is sweeping the globe. Beauty will make you beautiful once you catch it, but it comes with a price - an elevated fever and maybe even death. Two cops investigate recent beauty deaths and may have uncovered a plot to prevent the cure from being distributed. But do they have enough time to save the beautiful people.
