Murder Podcast #2

Mina is an avid fan of true crime podcasts, but she never dreamed she’d find herself in one. Or more accurately, that she’d fall victim to a frenzied killer driven to violence by the mysterious Dead Sounds podcast that is causing bodies to pile up across the Pacific Northwest. With a personal stake in figuring out what is going on, Mina and her friends will take a cue from the investigative journalists who disappeared making Dead Sounds and try to get to the bottom of the tragic crimes. And if she also has time to get to know that cute guy who owns the coffee shop, that’s a bonus!

The spine-tingling horror comic continues, brought to you by the twisted minds of Jeremy Haun (The Beauty) and comics next superstar, Mike Tisserand (Netflix’s The Dragon Prince)! Main issue covers are by Haun and series colorist Nick Filardi (Powers).

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.
