Murder Podcast #3

Bodies are piling up, and the police are no closer to finding out what is causing seemingly normal people to turn into homicidal maniacs. Unfortunately for Detective Nika, she may no longer need to go looking for answers, as the killers may be coming to her!

Also looking for clues are Mina and her friends, enthusiasts of true crime shows. They’ve been noticing the darkness creeping into their city, and they are starting to ask their own questions—especially since Mina survived a random attack herself. It’s only a matter of time before someone else hears the mysterious podcast and more people wind up dead.

A tale of terror and violence from acclaimed writer Jeremy Haun (The Beauty; Red Mother) and hot new artist Mike Tisserand! Cover A is by Haun and colorist Nick Filardi (Powers 25), while cover B is a connecting cover by Tisserand and Filardi that will form one giant image when all eight issues of Murder Podcast are released!

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.
