WOW. Never a dull moment!
That ending was epic! Wow. In this episode Ryan finally accepts the production show which Brad has named restless spirits. Ryan is overdue on all his bills, and about to lose his house as well as his car since he does not know what to do with the room, he finally accepts to do the show. And of course, their first shooting of the show in a haunted hospital. The entire crew sees the nurse who has hung herself and is now a ghost. Also seems like the entity that killed his family is now hunting him. Never a dull moment!

Love the way creators Chuck Austen (story) and Patrick Olliffe (art) ensure they don't let readers forget how the first issue ended - with the protagonist's therapist turning out to be a ghost! A murder victim at that, who was axed to death and the grisly scene is on the cover for the second issue.
I am definitely enjoying this comixology original horror series so far. It's on Kindle Unlimited.

The story heats up
This follow-up is very well done. A hint of casualness at the start which meant that a lot of time consumed in casual conversation and banter as Ryan's friends try to trap him into a horror show to showcase and take advantage of his abilities.
The plot thickens and the horror cum shock quotient rides sky high.
Jumping immediately to the next one.

On with the show
Ryan is pressured into hosting the ghost hunting show called "Restless Spirits".
While most of the crew treat it like a lark, Ryan knows what may be in store.
Meanwhile malevolent forces are on the rise and hunting for Ryan.

A solid second chapter.
A fast paced continuation of the first chapter, introducing new characters, exploring Ryan’s powers and revealing the terrifying main villain.

Love the monster lady at the end but did enjoy our intro to our crew as well. Still preferred the first one over this one but still a strong follow up
