We Only Find Them When They’re Dead debuted its first issue just last week and it’s already a major hit. The sci- fi epic is penned by Al Ewing (Immortal Hulk), drawn by Simone Di Meo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), colored by Mariasara Miotti and lettered by AndWorld Design; and it follows a crew of refugees on the hunt for a living god. The Beat has an exclusive first look at the We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #2, courtesy of BOOM!, in which Captain Malik and the Vihaan II make a major realization – and a title drop.

Check out the series’ description below, then keep scrolling for cover art, and your first look at 5 pages of We Only Find Them When They’re Dead #2, out October 7 from your local comic shop.

But Malik’s obsession with the gods will push his crew into danger at the darkest reaches of space and face — unless the rogue agent on their trail can stop them first…”
