5 Reasons Why I Love “Assorted Crisis Events”
"A monthly Black Mirror" is the best way I can describe Assorted Crisis Events, an ongoing sci-fi anthology series from Image Comics that has thrills, chills, and has a lot to say about modern life in each issue.

What feels like a lifetime later, Barnes has turned his lens on Maryland’s Crownsville Hospital Center, a Jim Crow–era “Hospital for the Negro Insane” notorious for its segregation, overcrowding, and rumors of unethical, nonconsensual patient research. For Barnes, whose grandmother was a nurse at Crownsville, the subject hits close to home. “Crownsville is the supernatural mystery tale I’ve been dying to tell,” he said in a statement from his publisher, Oni Press. “From a childhood haunt born in a place of pain, it’s my cathartic effort I’m thankful to share with
