The Haunted #4

In "Desperate Times," Kat rushes to be with Cliff after learning his sister has overdosed, leaving school behind to stand by him. As tensions rise, Cliff defies fate by bringing Lorna back from the dead—only to face a new threat when Mr. Gray tests the kids with a deadly ruse involving a bomb in their backpacks. With Stitch exposed as a double agent, Mr. Gray sends a Bookender to capture him, setting the stage for a dangerous game of loyalty and survival. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Nat Jones, with inks by Kevin Conrad, colors by Todd Broeker, and letters by Jimmy Betancourt of Comicraft, the cover by Nat Jones and Kevin Conrad captures the story’s escalating dread.
