2 Past Midnight

In the single-issue debut of 2 Past Midnight (2014, Dark Horse), writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Eduardo Francisco launch a taut, self-contained thriller. This one-shot introduces a chilling premise where a mysterious radio broadcast at 2 AM seems to compel listeners toward violence, forcing a small-town DJ to confront the sinister signal before it wreaks havoc. Though brief, the issue showcases the creators' knack for tight, atmospheric horror, making it a notable entry in Dark Horse's line of standalone genre experiments.
