Five years after his death, Al Simmons returns to Earth as Spawn. He is confused and angry, not knowing what has happened in the last 5 years, and not really understanding the deal he had to make to return.
Wearing a costume like that of a superhero, Spawn finds that he has incredible powers at his disposal. He first tests these powers by saving a woman from being raped in the alleys of New York.
NOTE: 2nd title published by image Comics.
NOTE: There are two varieties: a "smudged" and a "clean", referring to the Spawn icon printed on the inside cover. These were standard releases of this issue.
