Plot:
Henri "The Deuce" Moncrete's a well known stone cold killer. One night as he's supposed to meet two guys he comes infront of a abandonned circus. Suddenly Moncrete feel things he never felt, he sees spirits and some flash of his past. He finally escapes and stops infront of the King of Beasts and his 3 guardian (3 beasts with the make-up of the other KISS members). Moncrete runs again but this time he cannot escape. The King of Beasts is showing him all the terrible things he did in his past and wants Moncrete to plead for mercy but he refuses. He's instantly changed into a dog who's attacked by the 3 guardians. After the beating, the dog goes back to Moncrete's car and he's killed by the two guys who were supposed to meet Henry Moncrete. They sure meet him...even thought they didn't know.

A story who's based on Peter Criss' caracter (the King of Beasts). This issue is not bad but the story is too much close from the first two issues. More and more references are found. Again the cover is horrible but the drawings, colors are getting greater and greater.
