CROWNSVILLE #2
Description
CROWNSVILLE #2 is a tense, gothic-noir mystery set in Maryland's infamous Crownsville Asylum. Writer Rodney Barnes (Batman: Full Moon) threads a bloodstained history into a modern murder investigation, where the vengeful ghosts of the 20th century serve as suspects and witnesses. Ethereal artist Elia Bonetti paints a spectral, atmosphere-soaked world, while cover artist Jason Shawn Alexander adds a haunting edge. In this 32-page chapter, a determined police detective teams with an old friend—a local journalist—as they chase long-buried secrets that refuse to stay buried. The story marries real-world trauma with supernatural consequence, making every corridor of the abandoned institution feel charged with memory. Crownsville's past crimes demand penance, and the truth may finally lay the restless dead to rest.
