This 'City Beneath Her Feet' #3 page belongs on a wall
Why you shouldn't sleep on this James Tynion IV DSTLRY series. Plus, preview pages from the long awaited third issue.
The City Beneath Her Feet is an action thriller wrapped up in a tangled love story about a relatable novelist with task initiation issues that are made worse by a mundane, uninteresting life. That is until meeting her veritable dream girl, a mysterious assassin with irresistible charisma strong enough to make wearing your own blood fashionable. The dysfunctional relationship that follows inspired a book. But as the author soon discovers, some muses come with a deadly cost.
We've been waiting since November's previous issue release to find out what happens to our lovestruck writer Zara. But issue 3 is finally coming out this July (though print preorders end 5/11, fyi). Even better, DSTLRY gave us an advanced copy as well as some gorgeous preview pages to share.
If you've been sleeping on The City Beneath Her Feet, this is your official wake up call to catch up. It might be tough to find back issues at this point (and most definitely once it starts racking up awards nominations), but you can snag a free digital copy of issue 1 on Neon Ichiban.
The series does a great job of capturing the torrent of emotions felt by meeting someone new, exciting, and impossible to ignore. Especially when that person isn't compatible, and explosively blows in and out of your life. And by the end, it definitely makes an impression. Almost like you can feel the weight of emotional grief you just witnessed over the course of 48 pages.
Oh and it has some phenomenal art, too...
