ABOUT

Jump back into the Smile universe in this terrifying prequel as five models are hunted down by the Entity!

Pose. Couture. Gore.  

It’s Fashion Month 2005. Five young international models have just landed in New York City, ready to tackle four grueling weeks of runways, press, and cameras as they try to make it big. The girls become fast friends…until one by one, they seem to crack under the pressure. Little does everyone know that they are now possessed by the Entity, a being bent on destruction and pain as it seeks to destroy lives through the horrific visions its victims suffer. But this isn’t the only parasite they need to worry about, as predatory agents, photographers, and managers all try to take a bite.

Dive into this all new story of betrayal and reality distortion based on the blockbuster Smile film franchise from Parker Finn, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery) and Miriana Puglia (Disney Villains: Cruella de Vil, Disney Villains: Maleficent), as we follow these models’ glamorous, gory descent into insanity.

Get ready to smile like you mean it.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
