Just When You Thought He Was in Trouble

Al Simmons has lost his Hell Spawn powers, but he must still don the suit as he must stand for what he believes in. The Angelic Forces have sent an assassin to get him. At the same time the cops are closing in on him and his work.

King Spawn is finally tracked down by the assassin and the battle begins. The Angelic assassin gets the upper hand, and it looks like that will be all for Al. However, can you ever really count Spawn down?

The Old Switcharoo

King Spawn is a great story with a great premise. Having a world where Al Simmons has lost his powers, but still fights the good fight is a ballsy move but pays off tremendously. Todd McFarlane has always thought outside of the box, but he’s out done himself with this story in the best way possible.

The art in this book is classic Spawn and there isn’t anything wrong with that. The art department does an amazing job of bringing action and violence to the forefront. Your eyes go panel to panel and each one gets better.
