Beautiful canvas #1 Preview

Beautiful Canvas is out 6/28/17 from Black Mask Studios. Check out the seven page preview. 
Lon Eisley is a hitwoman. While dealing with the shock of discovering her girlfriend is pregnant, Lon gets hired for a new assignment: to kill a small child.
In a bold declaration of uncertainty, she saves the boy and hits the road, despite the fact her boss clearly wanted him dead for a reason.
This warped crime dystopia delves into the emotional dichotomy of creator/destroyer as Lon tries to connect the two very different worlds she now inhabits.
From Sami Kivela (Chum) & Ryan K Lindsay (Negative Space, DC Writers Workshop) comes a gonzo tale of personal discovery, animal/hybrid hit troupes, and reactive pyrokinesis.

  1. Black Mask continues its path of being a horrible publisher unabated. Why even put out new books when they can’t even manage to finish previous works? What a grand move by Pizzolo to do interviews expressing how their “problems” have been solved a couple of months ago.

    1. Yup. They were solved. Until five minutes after the interview I did was published. Still running horribly late on books. Young Terrorists comes out once a year. I heard that even Rangel Jr. from Space Riders called the company a joke.

      2. So sad—they really “had the bull by the horns” for a while….until whatever happened….and keeps happening.

    2. You’re talking about past news..they are putting out books regularly and finishing them.

      1. Some books, not all books and most of the books that are coming out regularly have sucked if you asked me.

  2. Kitchen scene reminded me of Kill Bill a little bit. Doesn’t seem like a bad read just wish it wasn’t colored like an Easter Egg.

  3. Hey, everyone :]
    I can 99 3/4% guarantee we will hit our deadlines – all 4 issues are scripted, inks are drying on the final issue, colours are wrapping on #3. We’ve worked our ass off, and held off even soliciting this book, until we knew we could deliver. Hope that helps, fwiw.
    And as for the Kill Bill comparison – I mean, we have two women in a kitchen, true. That’s pretty much literally the only two actual connections between the two scenes I can find 😀

    1. Hi Ryan KL. We always love when creators stop by. I don’t think the Kill Bill comparison on that scene is a bad thing.

      1. I’d love to be compared to Tarantino on his worst day, but this scene is straight up Raiders of the Lost Ark via Shane Black and I’ll hear nothing else :]

    2. Nah, the kid walking up behind as well was the other connection for comparison…. 😉

      1. But the kid here comes in after the fight is done. Affects the scene in completely different ways than the KB kid who disrupts things.
        Anyway, hope you dig it if you decide to check it out :]

    3. Appreciate you addressing issues/concerns… Many times those involved do not do that. Good luck with everything.
