The Folk of Dooney Hollow #2

It’s Kerri’s second day in Dooney Hollow, and despite the assurances of the townsfolk who live in this community displaced in time, she is not convinced they are going to let her leave. The closer she gets to some of them, the more she begins to feel for their predicament, while others only scare and enrage her. The more they tell her, the more she is convinced they are hiding from her. Of course, trust also goes both ways, and the more Kerri digs, the more some of the town leaders want her eliminated from the equation. The Butcher needs to be satiated, and one wrong move by an outsider could cause the whole of Dooney Hollow to collapse.

The new series from Beauty co-creator Jeremy Haun journeys deeper into the mystery. Featuring covers by both Haun and series artist Alex Lins (Briar).

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.
