I love the cover and the artwork so much, they're perfect.

The idea of the comic is unique, a good disease and potential bio-threat and all that. Plus the detectives and the whole crime stuff to come.. this is exactly what I needed.

This is a fantastic set of series. We are in a dystopian world where there is an STD taking over: Beauty. Yep, you can catch it and be gorgeous. So, where is the harm in that you might ask? Well, there is a reason this is a disease: after some time, you will overheat and explode. So, still think you want to be beautiful?

The illustrations were gorgeous and this is the first graphic novels I read in digital form. The last issue is supposed to come out by the end of this month! Can't wait!

This was a really quick and easy read. I enjoyed this comic book. The concept was very intriguing and I loved the idea of this plot. Beauty is something that we all strive to be and I loved how this comic book showed how destructive that can be.

This is such an imaginative concept and just from the first issue I can tell this is going to be a great series. Can't wait to pick up #2!
