Each year Top Cow hosts Pilot Season, an event where the publisher releases the first issue of several titles and allows their readers to choose the one they like the best. Voting is officially closed and Top Cow has released the winner of Pilot Season. Out of the seven titles, the decision was between THEORY OF EVERYTHING and THE BEAUTY. Today, Top Cow revealed that after one million votes, this year's Pilot Season winner is THE BEAUTY.

What happens when a brand new sexually transmitted disease makes those who catch it beautiful -- but at a price. Two detectives uncover the nasty side-effects of this disease which makes its victims stunningly beautiful. The series is written by Jeremy Haun who is very excited to see his project win, and at the prospect of being able to continue writing the story.

"Now that we've won we're going to be able to finish the story. I'm really excited to do that. It's exciting to be co-writing and drawing something like this," said Haun. "The process is surprisingly fast and a hell of a lot of fun. The trick of it is going to be balancing work on The Beauty with my regular art duties on The Darkness monthly book. Luckily, they're both books that I absolutely love. It also doesn't hurt that I just love to work. As crazy as it may seem, drawing two books is kind of my idea of fun.”

Once again, I voted for title that lost ( Fleshdigger).

Me too, but this one was good too. I hope it will last because i heard that the tite top cow launched like this were not always a succes.

Nice social commentary 

Good job for this winning! In the stuff I see so far, it looks like a fairly interesting concept to read!

Me too. Just got caught into it...

May have to pick this up. That art is stunningly gorgeous.

hmmmm. this is not the droids i'm looking for.

Although I enjoyed this one, I voted for The Test. I still think this one has a ton of potential though.

WOOT ! This has Y the Last Man potential...will continue to pick it up

And this year's the Pilot Season winner is......THE UGLY. =P

*pun intended*

hopefully this title actually does something and gets published on time or for that matter actually published....unlike all of the Pilot Season winners before

This was in my top three books. I am glad it won and hope it comes out soon.

at first the beauty sounded like a great disease to have but when i saw the side-effects i changed my mind

This was the title I was hoping would win. Excellent.

p.s. Twilight Guardian is great. Check it out.

This is actually the only Pilot Season title that I read, wrote a review on it about how much I wanted it to win and BAM. WIN!
