Asylum, Part Five is the fifth and final issue of the Spike: Asylum comic book miniseries. Written by Brian Lynch and illustrated by Franco Urru, it was originally published on February 7, 2007, by IDW Publishing.
Synopsis[]
The inmates are running the asylum, and only one thing stands between them and freedom: a smart-ass vampire with a soul. Spike: Asylum ends with a bang — numerous bangs, in fact. And stabbings. And stakings. Fists will fly and heads will most definitely roll! Spike's latest adventure concludes, courtesy of screenwriter Brian Lynch and artist Franco Urru![1]
