As June Buckley's journey across the Kansas frontier continues, a gruesome death shatters the uneasy peace among the heirs to William Buckley's fortune. Suspicion spreads like wildfire as old resentments, hidden agendas, and deadly accusations threaten to tear the travelers apart.
But something far darker than greed stalks the wilderness, and as night falls, June discovers that not all monsters wear human faces.

Sep 02, 2026The Dirt Beneath the Devil #2 is a strong follow-up that deepens the mystery, sharpens the group conflict, and makes Hendido feel even more dangerous. Dan Panosian keeps the story tense and character-driven, while David Ferracci and Lee Loughridge give the issue a gritty western horror atmosphere that feels distinct and unsettling. This issue proves the series has more going on than a simple supernatural mystery, and it remains an easy recommendation for readers who want a strange, violent, and compelling western horror story. It’s not too late to jump into this series as you can grab the first two issues at the LCS this week and then add this series to your Pull List as well. Read Full Review

Oct 05, 2026The Dirt Beneath the Devil #2 is another fantastic issue. It greatly saddens me to think that this is a limited series and that we won’t be getting at the very least, a year’s worth of material. Read Full Review

Sep 01, 2026Whereas I'm not totally sold on the long-term feasibility of a "murder horse," 'The Dirt Beneath the Devil' #2 makes clear that this western-horror has so much more to offer as an exploration of family, community, and the ways we protect and hurt one another. Read Full Review

The second issue continues the intriguing story, but also suffers from unclear visual storytelling. I had to flip back a few pages when a severed ear was mentioned - a big deal for the character, but apparently not for the artist. It was shown just once in a very casual way and I had forgotten it almost immediately.
There are also other weird art choices, like not showing us a dead body. This is supposed to be a horror comic, right? So why the graphic restraint? There's enough splatter later in the book, so why not here?
Anyway, those are forgivable mistakes for an artist that is obviously still learning his craft. All in all, I like the book and am looking forward to the next chapter.+ Like • Comment
