Die Volume 2: Split the Party - Graphic Novel

Die Volume 2: Split the Party continues the dark fantasy saga from acclaimed writer Kieron Gillen and artist Stephanie Hans. This second arc deepens the bleakly romantic narrative as the trapped heroes face an impossible truth: no one can escape DIE until everyone agrees to go home. Or rather, no one can escape DIE until everyone who is alive agrees to go home.

As the narrative unfolds, the stark reality becomes clear—while escape from DIE remains possible, the characters can never escape themselves.
