Savage Beauty Issues Cancelled, Go Direct to Collection

Moonstone’s “jungle girl” book Savage Beauty may not be doing as well as hoped. They ran a contest to bump preorders for issue #1 in March, but the following issues have now been cancelled.
However, that material (including, presumably, the promised in-comic appearance in #3 for the contest winner) is now planned to appear as a “limited edition” hardcover, according to Moonstone’s plans for September. This 70-page volume (somewhat short for a typical collection) is promoted as “collecting issue #1 and the never-before-published issues #2 and #3!” All this — three issues of story by Mike Bullock and Jose Massaroli — can be yours for $29.99 US.
Given this, I would presume that there won’t be a #4 in any format.

Wow, that’s a spectacular failure. However, after reading the first issue, I’m not very surprised…

Three issues of an unknown comic for $30? Nope.

I’m that winner and that sucks. Well at least I’ll be in the hardcover than.

I’m sorry for you. Hopefully they will still send you a signed copy, as promised, but of the hardcover.

I’m still waiting to recieve my contest winnings? I was told it would take a while but all the stuff was sent to the company from the creators. I talked to the writer personally. Looks like Moonstone just forgot about me. At least they should have sent me something for winning the contest. I bought extra issues of # 1 just for the chance of winning.
