Issue #3
CHAPTER THREE Written and Created By Madeleine Holly-Rosing Artist: Emily Hu Colorists: Gloria Caeli and Fahriza Kamaputra Letterer: Troy Peteri Cover Ink by Miralti Firmansyah and Color by Fahriza Kamaputra. In the previous chapter, Samuel meets Bell, Edison, Tesla and Houdini for the first time and is not impressed. Their bickering drives him away to pursue “The Shifter” on his own. The team’s latest case leads them to discover someone has built a magnetic man that’s been on a killing spree on the southside. Unbeknownst to them, it was Tesla’s latest invention and its destruction sets him on a new path. But for the poor in Boston, something is about to go very, very wrong… Boston Metaphysical Society #3 © 2013 Madeleine Holly-Rosing. All rights reserved. First Edition.

“As a huge fan of steampunk, I was very happy to be introduced to the webcomic BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY. Ms. Holly-Rosing nails the tone with her expert writing and her artist, Ms. Hu, is a wonder.” - Bryn Pryor (Writer/Director, Cowboys and Engines)
“Boston Metaphysical is one of my favorite webcomics not just because I’m a sucker for any comics that feature Harry Houdini in lead roles (though I am) or because I love comics that use ghosts in different ways than most strips do (though I am). No, Boston Metaphysical is one of my favorite webcomics because Madeleine Holly-Rosing creates a wonderful ÀFWLRQDO ZRUOG ZLWK EROG FKDUDFWHUV DQG WKRURXJKO\ HQWHUWDLQLQJ SORWV And because of Houdini and the ghosts.
