Asylum, Part Three

"Spike: Asylum, Part Three" was a comic story based on Spike. It was written by Brian Lynch and edited by Chris Ryall.

Ruby Monahan went missing and her family recruited Spike to track her down. It seems Ruby, a half-demon, checked into the Mosaic Wellness Center, a rehab facility designed to cure the demonic. In an unfortunate turn of events, Spike faced both the Mosaic center, which hoped to cure his vampiric nature, and its clientele, who wanted him dead.

The Story So Far
Trapped inside Mosaic, a jail for the supernatural filled with hundreds of monsters who know Spike all too well, and all of whom want to dust him. Spike meets Mah Zinn, who is A) the chief administrator/warden of Mosaic, B) an eight-foot slug, and C) the father of a baby slug placed in Spike’s ear. If Spike strays too far from Mah Zinn and the Asylum, the baby will feast on Spike’s brain.

After admittance, a vampire named Wiseau pummels our bleach-blonde hero when Spike refuses his offer to join Wiseau’s vamp-gang. Spike is saved by Dr. Ray, one of the “therapists.” Ray places Spike in a low-risk therapy group safe from the prisoners who want to do him wrong. There, he meets the rest of the patients in group: invisible Biv, a young girl of unknown origin named Beck, power-muting demon named Anna, werewolf-in-remission Marv, and fish-like telephate Betta George.

Through Betta George, Spike finds that he was tricked into going into Mosaic so he can’t hurt anybody else. Just when things seemed like they couldn’t get worse, Beck gets staked through the chest by Wiseau who is still mad that Spike refused his offer…

Synopsis
Things were bad enough when every inmate in the asylum wanted Spike dead. But now, the asylum staff has joined the cause. It's Spike vs. pretty much everyone. Poor, poor everyone.
