Description

Tragedy has been spreading through the fashion world, and the people who profit from it are quick to bury the evidence. Lena tries to put distance between herself and the disaster. Ivy finds that leaving is not so simple. The powerful figures around her are determined to keep making money off the models they represent, and the industry she is trapped inside holds monsters that have nothing to do with the supernatural. With the Entity still moving somewhere behind the glamour, Ivy has to work out whether anyone around her can be trusted at all.

4.0/5

Hannah Rose May delivers again with issue #3. The pacing is fast but it never feels rushed, and the story hits hard. Ivy is front and center here trying to make sense of the chaos around her while her world keeps spiraling, and May does a great job putting you right in her shoes. You genuinely feel for these girls as things keep getting worse and the people around them keep dropping.

What makes this issue work beyond the horror is the human villains layered underneath the supernatural ones. Perry and Purple are exactly the kind of monsters that make your skin crawl in a different way than the Entity, and the tension between the industry predators and the curse itself keeps things interesting. Cannot wait to see both of them get what is coming to them. Issue #4 cannot get here fast enough.
