Mr. Cherish certainly hopes so, but his murderous rampage may soon be coming to an end, as a strange figure from his past finally reveals himself. What is the truth behind Matty Barnes and his untimely demise? In fact, who is Matty Barnes and why did he choose to become an artist in the first place? Secrets are revealed as Lucy comes closer to finding out the truth in the penultimate issue of Christian Ward (Event Horizon) and John J. Pearson’s (The Smart Division) five-issue serial killer art thriller!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ignition Press","offers":[{"title":"A - Christian Ward","offer_id":67226493092013,"sku":"81019628033504011","price":4.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"B - John J.
