From the powerhouse team of Joe Hill (Locke & Key) and Martin Simmonds (Punks Not Dead) comes the second chapter in the inaugural Syd "Sh*t-Talk" Homes mystery!
  
Comedy may be hard and dying may be easy, but getting yourself off the hook for murder? For Syd Homes, that's looking damn near impossible.

    Martin Simmonds offers some beautiful art in this issue. The character focused moments look amazing, but the action is fast, well done and intense. The final page is beautifully fun to look at. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte Jan 10, 2020

    Dying Is Easy #2 has some pretty decent art and color work. But it's just not enough to overcome the plot and dialog. In a rare misstep by Joe Hill and Marin Simmonds, this comic is just not very good. Read Full Review
