Guilty Until Proven Innocent

The Home Intruder is surrounded by the police who have set a trap for him. However, he has many tricks up his sleeves as he gets away without any of them finding out who he is. Meanwhile, Mark is sitting in an interrogation room where the police believe they have him dead to rights as the Ladykiller. Unfortunately, Lucinda gets informed that her husband has been picked up and is suspected of being a serial killer.

Cece tells Daniel about Mark’s arrest and asks him if he thinks Mark could be a serial killer. At this moment Daniel knows he must save Mark from jail, so the Home Intruder poses as the Ladykiller to prove Mark’s innocence. But even though Mark is now free from jail he must now face his wife, and you never know who else is lurking in the shadows.

A Competition on Hold

Going into issue three, this series was on hot roll and steam rolling through a murder competition. However, issue three slows it down a bit and really builds up the human story. Kyle Starks does a fantastic job of showing us the love, respect, and friendship that our killers are building. Well at the same time, showing the real-world consequences of their double lives. Taking the foot off the gas in this issue was genius and much needed.

The art in this book continues to be very good and appealing. The art style that Patrick Piazzalunga brings to this series is incredible. Mix that in with the color pallet by Marco Brakko that makes every panel pop off the page, and you have a sure-fire winner. Special shout out to Jim Campbell whose letters give the issue a real true crime feels.
