What do you remember? Retired FBI agent John Reader is slowly losing his memories while living with a brain tumor. Estranged from his children, and living in a retirement home in the town of Harmless Montana, he\u2019s trying to hold on to his past, and who he is. Part of that past is the unsolved case of the Chatter Man. Never proven to actually exist, the Chatter Man may be responsible for dozens and dozens of unsolved murders over that past fifty years, and it\u2019s those cases that haunt John. Now a killer only John believes exists has returned to Harmless and the detective must fight his own mind and body to hold on to the memories that may help him solve his final serial killer case. Mixing the warmth of nostalgia with the cold reality of aging, Scott Snyder and Jock kick off a murder mystery mini-series with creeping dread, and a creepy masked murderer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi there Comic Shop Friends!
