Unlike the regular Spawn series, this book will focus on Spawn and have self-contained, single-issue stories. You'll see the individuals that encounter Spawn and this series looks at the urban horror that exists in our world. As Spawn begins to become a champion of balance between Heaven and Hell, we'll examine the truly horrible things that people do to themselves and each other. A book this exciting deserves the best talent--written by Paul Jenkins, the blazing hot writer of Inhumans who just wrote the first Spawn Annual, penciled by Dwayne Turner, and inked by Chance Wolf, who just finished an amazing run on Curse of Spawn.
