![]() ![]() The book looks fine, with artist Sami Kivela doing the art and colorist Triona Farell doing the inks. But, like the example I gave with Milla and the humorous hit-mutants in their pseudo-Batmobile, many of the situations seemed to be running at a different pace, which made it a little disjointed in the first reading, as I couldn’t nail down the tone. That’s not a problem in and of itself, as I’d rather be interested and have to work at a good story than have it laid out for me. I quickly found myself rereading it when I was done to keep everything straight and make sure I didn’t miss anything. ![]() That may be my biggest concern, as the entire issue was jam-packed, introducing new characters and intriguing situations that didn’t seem to necessarily pertain to the core of the narrative in the issue. Of course, there is so little known about anyone at this point it’s hard to make a judgement call until more of the story has played out. With a Tarantino-worthy manner of speaking, which was quite a tonal shift from the more subdued Lon, it became a bit distracting as she chewed the scenery in the panels she was featured in. However, Milla was a bit of a contrast, as she seems pretty firmly established as a ruthless and violent character. Lindsay does a good job showing this without relying on too much exposition, and made her story curious enough to make me want to know more in future issues. We’re not sure of her status, whether she’s semi-retired or just simply feeling the effects of the work she does, but it’s certain she’s having second thoughts about her actions. Lon is an interesting character, full of moral ambiguity that may or may not be able to talk to ghosts. I didn’t quite know what to think of the first issue at first. Their conversation lends a bit of humor to the book, which is otherwise serious throughout. Not to mention a group of mutant thugs that appear, ranging from a squid-like lady to a woman that looks like a member of the evil “Josie and the Pussycats” who rides around in a car Batman would be proud of. Also, he may not even be present in our reality. She’s not the only strange character in the book, as there is a brief interlude with a man named Eric who seeks revenge against her for some unknown reason. She has some violent interests, such as hiring the photographer, Moore, to take pictures of the hit’s outcome, which she considers art. During the book we learn Milla has some ulterior motives for the things she does. Billionaire Milla Albuquerque is the one paying for the job and it’s obvious that she’s no-nonsense and fully aware of the power her money affords her. Little background is given about Lon, though she’s definitely not a newcomer to the business. ![]() With Adobe Express, it’s free and easy to make, save, and share your designs within minutes so you can add collaborators, get approval, and publish your comics for all to enjoy.If you want to deconstruct it for easier explanation, the first issue of Beautiful Canvas is noirish thriller about a hitwoman taking a job and making a fateful decision when she reaches her target.
