CROWNSVILLE #4 (OF 5)

From master storyteller Rodney Barnes (Batman: Full Moon, Killadelphia) and otherworldly artist Elia Bonetti (Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy), Crownsville is a long-buried tale of suspense and sorrow drawn from true events surrounding a infamous asylum. In this 32-page installment, detective Mike Simms confronts a family secret as he and his partner explore the abandoned Crownsville mental institution, seeking truths buried in its condemned halls. The spirits of the past demand retribution for sins committed in life, and only the living can grant them peace—though they’re not picky about how they get it. With a chilling blend of noir investigation and supernatural dread, this issue asks whether redemption is possible when the past returns to bleed into the present. Can Mike unlock the asylum’s dreadful secrets before more blood is spilled?
